What do you enjoy/find beneficial about polars?

Whoa, beautiful! 💚 How do you keep them so healthy?

Cool, thanks for the tips!

Good to know. Are there any other leaf characteristics to look for when identifying plants? I was just thinking of shape and color, but there must be a lot more.

This is very unscientific, but it reminds me of a young blueberry.

That is a whole barn. Bon appetit!

Thank you for adding the summary and sources!

Did you create this yourself? Kudos, if so! If not, do you have a source? Either way, thank you for sharing. My plants are thanking you too ;)

Wait, is this a mushroom or a coral? Perhaps like some other lurking upvoters, I am not actively growing or finding but do enjoy learning from the posts here. Thanks for sharing!

I like this daring approach to getting more plants! Also had to look up ‘zombie leaves’ and apparently they are sold as plants by themselves. From an ag extension school in NC::

Some, but not all, plants can be propagated from just a leaf or a section of a leaf. Leaf cuttings of most plants will not generate a new plant; they usually produce only a few roots or just decay. Because leaf cuttings do not include an axillary bud, they can be used only for plants that are capable of forming adventitious buds.

Fiddle, are you capable??

Mango seeds are quite distinctive, so if she remembers planting it but just doesn’t remember the fruit it came from, perhaps it is something other than mango.

This is a glorious, nerdy, delightful explosion of memeness! (thanks for sharing, your user name is quite apt 😂)

I didn’t know that about rubber plants, thanks. Yes, I was thinking of the ficus benjamina, with smallish leaves and an arching/drooping habit.

If you have the space, a ficus is a pretty classic houseplant with different contours than the plants you have already.

lovely! There is a somewhat lonely orchid community at lemmy.ml (c/orchids). I don’t know how to link/crosspost, but if you do, they might appreciate this :)

that blue tail!

That seems very tickly ;) thanks for sharing!

I would offer a different perspective, though it could be that I’m misreading your intention in the last sentence. Scientific findings should all be available to the public, which is the ultimate source of most research funding through taxation or through product pricing. Misunderstanding should be addressed through education, not restricting access to knowledge.

Very cool! Are all of the pale stringy things baby scorpion legs? There seem to be a lot of them…

Yes, you’re right, this gave me problems on mobile web even when I finally knew what the problem was.
