It’s looking good! I have a similar problem actually, and I’ve been noticing that my older leaves are also slowly deteriorating as well making the overall plant seem a bit less nice. I ended up chopping some of the vines back almost all the way to regrow some new branches near the bottom to replace the old leaves. You can probably do the same over time with all of them to keep them fresh.

This plant is just severely etiolated as it’s desperately searching for more light, not mutated! You will need to give it better lighting conditions if you want the new growth to be more compact.

Looks like a fig tree to me! Hard to say what type until it starts to fruit though, the leaves are very similar. You’re in for a treat though when the crop comes in!

The main trunk will stay the same height at this point, but it will get thicker as it matures. Your best bet is to encourage a few branches out and go for a wine glass shape off the main trunk. With some pruning you can make it look like a pretty nice dwarf tree!

If you cut the top off then it will only be able to grow branches at this point.

I just went through a loss myself. My boy was 17 and I had him since he was a kitten and honestly it still hurts many months later. There is no easy fix. I still start crying at random times if I happen to see his favourite toy or a picture of him. You just need to let it run its course I think and slowly it gets better, just be there for your partner and offer support and hugs.

Beautiful! Mine is growing super slow after a mealybug outbreak and some overly enthusiastic pruning… too many nooks to treat. But eventually I’ll have a bunch of rooted props.

Hm I’m pretty sure what you have there will just be zombie leaves. Essentially they will root and they will stay alive but they will never grow the stem to continue a new ficus plant. You need an actual node from the original stem to create a new plant.

A scindapsus pictus (satin pothos) would look really cool in that!

I live in an apartment so my gardening is limited to containers on my balcony as well as a million tropical houseplants. I finally figured out what grows best in my conditions of scorching hot in the morning and nice and cool in the afternoon out there. I’m growing a fig and a dwarf citrus as well as a blueberry bush that is finally not hating the spot I put it in! Otherwise it’s a bunch of succulents out there.

I’m hoping one day to have a real garden but for now I’m having fun with what I can grow both indoors and outdoors.

Honestly it really depends on how much sun they get/how hot it is. Which means it’s different in summer vs winter. Also very different for each species.

If you have thick fleshy succulents you can wait until they start to wrinkle a bit to water. Or you just go by dryness if soil and water when it’s quite dry throughout.

If you have more flatter leaf succulents it’s a bit harder to tell but they generally like more frequent watering because they store less of them in the leaves.

So yeah, no easy answer. Sorry.

Ahh I love frankenpothos arrangements! They look so cool! I’m still waiting for all mine to get large enough to get a bunch of cuttings before making it.

Looks like a Drosera Capensis! The fuzzy ends are sticky and trap the bugs and curls around them.

So pretty! Their leaves get so big and gorgeous. I love Ficus Elasticas so much I have 4 varieties hah.

Looks like a Red Peace Lilly to me. Toxic to cats if you have them so be careful!

Beautiful! I love ferns but yes they seem to be very needy.

These look awesome! I have a lot of the same varieties as you. My bambino is also putting out a million leaves and I found 4 corms last time I repotted that all gave out roots so I guess I will be overrun with them even more soon.

So beautiful! I love ferns but am so scared to get them.

Not yet! I’ve been trying to propagate it to make it more fuller but its not liking it too much. I think I just need to stop fiddling with it.

To be fair, I live in a very sunny and pretty humid place and all my plants are super happy about that. It really helps a lot.
