    I killed a couple because I watered from the top and the stems went mushy. Now I bottom water and my new one is flowering 💓

    I can’t get mine to flower either 🙁 it neither thrives nor dies.

  3. Yankee-peach

    i’ve not seen one in flower state before. How cool!

    Is this a pic of your neighbor’s plant? It is beautiful! Have you asked them for advice?

    Why do the leaves on mine get crispy? on some…thanks! 😟

  6. ducqducqgoose

    Ugh. This is infuriating for me because I’ve killed 2 of them! And I keep all my other plants alive and thriving. But not these.
    Or ponytail palms…killed two of those also lol!

    Cute little flowers!

    I had one of these. It was a pain in the ass. 😝

    I keep mine in water only in little test tubey things and they grow and grow I’ve got a couple different colors now

    …. Edit to add I just looked it up all my “different colors” are different plants lmaoo nanouk, zebrina, and albifloravariegata

    My toxic trait is buying the plants tiny without having any idea what they are, taking off the soil and plopping them in water and seeing what they are. But the calatheas and nanouks love it lol

    Mine is blooming as well! lol I have mine stuck in water in a vase that I also neglect, I think that’s the key 🤣

    I have some in soil and then it got too tall so I cut some stems and propagated the cuttings in water. The propagations looks so much better than the ones in soil so I’ve just been keeping them in water….

    I put mine outside two weeks ago as a last resort and it’s got new growth sprouting.

    I bought one that was crazy root bound and divided it carefully to four pots. Careful sunlight, used room temp filtered water, tried it all as they all started to wither. A piece broke off of the largest stem a few weeks later, so I put it in a glass of water to attempt propagation. All four of the blasted potted ones are dead. Dead. D-E-D, dead.

    The one in the jar? Forgotten on the counter in the kitchen but for when I remember to add water from the tap, as indirectly lit as a linen closet? Taunting me with a new leaf and what looks to be a root starting.

    They need a lot of light, but thrive on neglect

    People have trouble with these plants? I’ve never kept one but my grandma has one that’s around 4ft wide and 6ft long (trailing leafs from a pot) it got so big to the point she had to trim at least half the plant and repot it into another pot.

    I keep mine in an east-facing window and she’s doing great.

    Don’t feel bad. Mine looks terrible and I’ve neglected the shit out of it and somehow it’s flowering right now too. These things do what they want.

    I’ve killed or mostly murdered a few! The one I left outside is living it’s best life! Can relate!

  20. GoldberryoTulgeyWood

    I didn’t even know they could look this good 😭

    Same!! I gave my mom a cutting from my indoor one to save it and she potted it outdoors and it’s thriving. In less than a year, it has grown 3x to the size of mine 😑 I’m guessing cause she live in sf, the weather is consistent and mostly sunny versus out here in San Ramon, it gets a bit hot and I’m not as on top of the watering schedule heheh
