1)Some blab, videos + photos of a couple of tropical plants that I had to rescue- from me! I had a bit too much to say about soils, watering, etc, so I made a blog post with the 2 videos + a bonus vid of a flowering cactus.
I'm testing Wordpress, so I posted the same thing there and at blogger. The videos are on YouTube, Spectra links in replies.

Semi close view of backlit leaves of Peperomia albovittata Piccolo Banda. From this direction, in this light, the almost heart-shaped leaves appear medium green with blood red venation. At this stage of growth, the leaves are coming nearly from the soil with very little stem.
Murdannia loriformis Bright Star a small plant with strap shaped leaves that taper to a point, a bit wider in middle. they are a medium slightly yellow-green with a wide band across the centre of silver-grey-green. Leaves come from a central rosette with a short stem and new rosettes come from the base. I has a delicate branched flowering stem with one tiny open white flower and a number of buds. Around the base of the plant are tiny green leaves with red reverse, the sprawling stems of Peperomia verticillata. Most of the plant is in shade, with a shaft of sunlight hitting the foremost leaf in the centre, and the open flower.

@cohanf @plants I have a very sad money tree that is trying to survive my in attention. Soil compacted, beyond depleted and never fertilized. The stubbornness of this plant is inspiring me to move it to the top of my to do list. Which means I’ll probably kill it.

@michele @plants It deserves a chance! ( I have so many to get to.. I've been accumulating soil in bits and bobs- native clay and humus from exposed spots on the acreage and farm, but I need to check my gravel/grit supplies since I mostly have C+S to do..)

@NatureMC haha, thanks. In my ongoing and highly successful campaign to make my life more complicated, for nowI will be adding to it in tandem with the existing blogger site..lol I'm not actually certain whether the WP site is visible to anyone yet, I see something about adding 3 posts, which I haven't yet..
