I really got lost in these pics yesterday, at a time when I desperately needed a break in the timeline. A much-appreciated diversion!

There's a green thread coming out of the plant on the right - a top-secret hack of some sort? 🤔

I only mist them when they're doing the new leaf thing - I've learned, too

You've checked for insects?

Quite possibly low humidity. I've had the same thing happen - if you mist the leaf shoots as they develop, it helps a lot. Use distilled water. Might be in part due to the fertilizer, too - the leaf is getting pushed by the plant, but it's stuck up above.

A little update on the Golden Croc Philo - the 2nd bud opened and the current count is seven buds on the plant - he's about 4' across now. I'm kinda blown away as it seems this is fairly rare! 🪴

Such perfect, orderly blooms from a typically unruly plant. I'm always so impressed by Hoyas - haven't grown one yet, though.

I used to work in a pet store - I set up two similar aquariums next to each other - one with real plants, one with plastic. Same number of fish, same lighting etc. It was always fun to watch customer's reactions to the display and the fish in the natural tank always did better, too.

Great pics and loads of extra points for the live aquatic plants!

Or: just branch out within your comfort zone - those pothos and sansevieria look awesome - there are some awesome color and shape variations in both of those families - you're already a pro with them!

Anytime I see a pic of a plant that I like a lot, I'll research to see if it can survive my conditions. It prevents a lot of straggly or dead plants. Definitely go with what catches your eye, though - you've gotta live with them!
