Plant of the Day: Day 22 🪰

🌱 Venus Flytrap (Dionaea Muscipula) is an amazing carnivorous plant that loves to eat bugs! There are so many different carnivorous specimens that each have their own unique way to provide all the nutrients it needs!
🌱 Venus Fly traps are native in small wetlands of North and South Carolina ! Miss American gurrrrl😜! They thrive with lots of sunlight 14-16 hours but can also thrive with a smaller time!(based on the care of my plant) It requires nutrient poor soil and using distilled water keeping the soil moist and not soggy! It is so cool witnessing the way all carnivorous plants eat!
🌱 Venus plant gets its nutrients is by having nector on the leaf walls and releasing sweet fruity scent to attract insects inside! In the inner lining of the plant it has “trigger hairs” that triggers it to snap shut once prey is on top. In order for it to snap the prey has to touch two or more of the trigger hairs and has to be there for about 20 seconds. The more the insect struggles the more it closes shut! Once it shut it begins to digest and release acid to dissolve parts of the insect! After a couple of days the plant will open and be ready to catch its new prey!
🌱 Each movement the plant does use so much energy it doesn’t want to have false alarms. They can only shut 5-7 times its lifespans so please do not force it to shut or put random things! They thrive on eating live bugs! The fly I gave it was half alive hehehe

*If you have any more tips or more Information to take care of this specimen please comment below! Always want to learn more!

✨What is plant Fasciation in flowers? ✨

Well let me show you this beauty I found at Lowe’s. This is a white Gerbera Daisy, an example of a rare mutation called Fasciation or also known as Cresting! Each of the daisys stem grew attached to one another and produced two individual flowers! Sometimes it can be an opposite reaction where there’s one stem and the two flower heads are blended together creating a unique flower! It looks sooo coool and gorgeous! I always feel lucky when I find flowers like this. If you have ever found any plant/flower fasciation i’d love to see in the comments! 🌿💗

Had an amazing time at the Butterfly Exhibit in the National History Museum!🦋 Such an amazing experience to witness! I saw so many different kinds of butterflies and seeing them fly around was so magical🥹 Even had one land on me for a couple seconds ahhh I felt complete 🩵
I definitely recommend to visit while it’s still open! Closes August 23 and you can get your tickets online with specific timing! It is only a 30min experience so if you’d like a longer time make sure to get two tickets for different time frames! 🦋

Plant of the Day: Day 20🌱

🌱 Alocasia ‘Venom’ is a rare unique kind of alocasia because its vibrant dark to light green-silvery color and curly stingray tail on the bottom of the foliage! This beauty took me about 3 months to revive but worth the wait! So lucky to bring her back to life and get to show you all! 🤩
🌱 Alocasia ‘Venom’ is a mutation cross between Alocasia Amazonica! It was successfully crossed in 2019 by Mason Lee of Mason Plants in South Korea! Alocasia grow corms from the roots in the soil which forms into new plants! Hopefully this Venom grows some and I can propergate or even try cross between another alocasia 😜
🌱 Alocasia Venom thrives best with a well draining chunky soil mix and water with distilled water! Once the pot is light and looks dry it’s time to water! (Atleast that’s how it works best for me lol) Don’t let the soil dry up too much keep the soil moist enough! Please comment any tips or what works for you? I would love to learn more💕
🌱 I keep this beauty under a light for 16hours everyday but as long it gets bright indirect sunlight it will thrive beautifully! Alocasias also need lots of humidity they loveeee that helps them from having crispy brown tips! Honestly it’s looking so nice with the low amount of humidity I provide but I always keep the soil moist and seems to be good enough! But if you can provide good air and humidity they will love youuuuu!
🐾 Alocasia Venom is a very toxic plant to animals and humans if ingested! Please keep out of reach!

So happy I captured my gorgeous spider plant bloom and the beginning stage of growing new babies 🪴🌿🥰🤩 I just love plants and all the beauty that comes with growing! The patience, the attention to detail, and the joy of knowing I kept it alive 🤭 I could talk about it for hours so atleast i’m glad they can’t talk back, i’d loose my voice if they could lol

Plant of the Day: Day 19🌿

🌿 Begonia ‘Ferox’ is an exciting exotic plant for me to share cause I swear i’ve been on the hunt for it and I finally have it.🥰 This begonia is a rare unique plant known for its fuzzy stems with dark green to black spikes. The spikes on the foliage are called bullae and soft to the touch. The more it grows more fierce bullae will grow! So coool! 🤩
🌿 Ferox is native to Guangxi region in Southern China! It typically grows in shaded areas in the rainforest! If you are familiar with Begonias they are high humidity queens! Many put them in terrariums to keep the humidity to its liking. With a chunky airy soil mix and kept moist not soggy at all times will thrive beautifully!
🌿 Bright indirect sunlight is best to keep the fierceness alive! Direct sunlight will cause damage to the leaves and burn them! We don’t want that! Make sure it gets a good air flow aswell to prevent mold or rot on its roots! It also grows flowers once it’s truly in the happiest state, small pinkish, yellowish flowers will appear! 💐
🐾 Begonia Ferox is toxic to animals if digested!

Plant of the Day: Day 18 💗

💗 Pink Dipladenia is a beautiful pink flowered plant. This beauty has a loving flower shape almost trumpet like, very vibrant colors, and is a climber! When I first saw this plant I just knew I needed it in my yard! Gonna repot it soon and add a heart shape metal stand to keep it happy and climbing!
💗 Pink Dipladenia are a tropical but heat loving native in Central and South America! This plant is known for its shiny green leaves and gorgeous flowers! This is a great one to have if you wanna see hummingbirds and butterflies! I have seen so many since i’ve gotten it! Great way to keep the wild life happy and fed!🦋
💗 Keeping this plant in a well draining soil mix and watered constantly but can tolerate it being dry (not too long) is best! Thriving in full sun and giving it a leaf cut once in a while will give so much energy to produce more virbrant flowers all summer and fall!
🐾 Mild Toxic to animals if eaten but best to keep away just in case!
