NikaShilobod, Finally managed to get my hands on an Electric Daisy!! Probably one of the coolest #edibleplants out there.
"The flower bud has a grassy taste followed by a strong tingling or numbing sensation and often excessive salivation, with a cooling sensation in the throat. The buds are known as "buzz buttons", "Sichuan buttons", "sansho buttons", and "electric buttons". In India, they are used as flavoring in chewing tobacco."
NikaShilobod, #Caladium Praetermissum ‘Hilo Beauty’
Got this guy in a rescue box some moons ago. I love him so much. He's come so far after losing all leaves!
NikaShilobod, Her sister Caladium from a mystery box, started from root. Caladiums are crazy.
su_layug, Good morning! From my heart-shaped cacti! I want to share their picture now, before they change their heart (because they do, as they grow— like people, you know 😍). 💚💟 @plants @houseplants
su_layug, Happy #LaborDay Weekend! My heart-shaped cactus had a baby - and it looks so chubby like a baby should! I must be doing something right as a plant mom, right 😃?@houseplants @plants
TradescantiaHub, My seedling from #Tradescantia zebrina 'Little Hill' is doing well!
gewalker, @TradescantiaHub @plants @houseplants lovely. Any thoughts on when/how to feed new transplants?
TradescantiaHub, @gewalker @plants @houseplants It depends on the transplant, and what they're being transplanted into! Most standard potting mixes have nutrients added and the bag will tell you how long that's meant to last for.
Tradescantias in particular are not very nutrient demanding. So I tend to just wait until they start looking hungry with slowed growth or yellowing between veins. I've found they suffer more if I accidentally overfeed them by sticking to a strict schedule.
TradescantiaHub, If no-one buys this cutting soon I think it's going to climb out of the pot and walk away on its own 😅
seryndippyt, @TradescantiaHub @plants @houseplants
Do they really just offer up bits of themselves pre rooted like that? That’s very obliging!
I would love home him but my house is completely wrong for them (nowhere near enough light, nom-happy cats, I’m a zz raven on a high shelf kind of plant purchaser now)
TradescantiaHub, @seryndippyt @plants @houseplants They really do! In the wild they crawl along the ground attaching wherever they touch, so they're very flexible about where roots grow 😁
TradescantiaHub, Welcome new mastodon people! I've never actually done an #introduction so here I go.
I'm the International Cultivar Registration Authority for the #Tradescantia genus, which means I research the correct names of all tradescantia cultivars in the world.
I have a living collection of tradescantias and other Commelinaceae plants which I study, and sell cuttings to fund my research.
Ask me to identify your tradescantia plant!
@plants @houseplants #plants #houseplants
Stem of Tradescantia zebrina 'Quadricolor' which has silver and green leaves with bold random sectors of pink and white.
Tradescantia pallida 'Purple Pixie', with large bright purple leaves.
Tradescantia cerinthoides 'Nanouk' with large pink-and-green striped leaves, and Tradescantia Sweetness, with a similar pattern on much smaller leaves.
witchpunkboi, @TradescantiaHub @plants @houseplants my wife works for a landscaping company that grows 3 different andersoniana cultivars - Sweet Kate, Concord Grape, and Amethyst Kiss. Would you be interested in one of each for your collection?
TradescantiaHub, I made a fun little picture guide to show how many different T. zebrina cultivars there are!
In article form on the website: https://tradescantia.uk/article/types-of-zebrina/
The same cuttings laid out in a circle.
Seven cuttings titled ""It's just regular zebrina" cultivars"
Three cuttings titled ""The purple one" cultivars.

There are Star Wars trinkets tucked away into many nooks throughout our house. 🤓⚔️#MayThe4thBeWithYou #houseplants #tradescantia #africanviolet #philodendron #pothos @houseplants
TradescantiaHub, fun thing about growing in sphagnum: little #ferns sometimes pop up like magic

TradescantiaHub, Gibasis 'Jose Puig' is looking amazing at the moment!

Closer view of the leaves which have a very faint lime-green border around the edge.
