A Houseplant Update
Here recently I have been seeing quite a bit of growth with my houseppants. There was a scare with mealy bugs, but everything seems to be making a come back.
I have also upgraded my lights. I was using 150w incandescent bulbs. Now, I have LED strips. Hopefully these do not trigger my migraines though.
   <html> <h2> <center> Psygmorchis pusilla <p> A short time ago, I bought quite a few mini orchids. I am currently keeping them in a rather large Exo-Terra terrarium. They are hung on the sides of the tank, and have an automatic misting system. <p> I was a little worried at first. One of the orchids died rather early. Now, the plants are doing great. This can be seen with the blooming orchid above. <hr>  <html> <h2> <center> Tillandsia Pups <p> Above, one of my Tillandsia can be seen with some new growth. Two pups are growing from the mother plant at this point. They have tripled in size since I bought the mother plant. <p> I have many other air plants. The larger ones I purchased at the reptile expo have healed from being separated. The spot where they connected was not looking good. So I had to separate them to help them. <hr>   <html> <h2> <center> Dwarf Banana Growth <p> Above, you can see an exciting new development. My dwarf banana is producing pups. Soon, a totally new plant will grow from this bud. I was really worried about this plant. The recent mealy bug infestation I had been dealing with left it a bit worse than usual. <p> Through the treatment and damage from the mealy bugs, this plant lost a few leafs. The newest leaf turned brown and died off. I was concerned as banana plants grow through the middle of the plant. A new leaf has been pushed out, and so I hope the plant will be alright <hr>     <html> <h2> <center> Sundew Growth <p> I had bought this plant at one of the local reptile expos. I accidentally gave it too much light, and so it died back. Now, the plant has come back. It is even producing pups. <p> I have put all of my carnivorous plants in the orchid terrarium for now. The automatic misting and lighting has helped some of the rescues. <hr>   <html> <h2> <center> A New Addition <p> To finish this post off, here is my newest plant. It is some sort of banana. I am thinking it is a dwarf kind like my other plant is. That being said, there are several cultivars and/or species it could be. I am hoping that one day, I will know the species. <p> I found it at a local grocery store. $16.99 USD bought it. There are a total of four plants in the pot. So the price was pretty good. <hr>
How cute are your plants, I loved the carnivorous ones, they look so cute this small, I imagine they won't be tender at all to those who become their dinner.
I'm going to have to bring you home to help me with my plants LOL.
