    my weirdest plant is a pinguicula (grassette in French), it is a little carnivorous plant, it can help to trap fungus gnats on her sticky leaves and have also nice violet flowers, adorable little monster .....

  • @yvonnesmith6152
    @yvonnesmith6152 Před 11 měsíci +1

    Lovely Monstera, but according to the size of the mature leaves, I’d recommend to pot it up a size or even two. With Monstera, wrangling soil roots and air roots, it’s always good to keep an eye on the inside of the pot, if it looks like a pot of spaghetti…it’s overdue. Also, if the size is too small, the plant will restrict its size and leaf amount. Love your show

    Remember when you did the video on the Pinguicula? I went online immediately and bought one, lol! It only had the one stem, but it's been under a grow light together with my Hoyas since I bought it and now it looks just like yours, it has a second plant which first grew out horizontally, then put out a 'leg' that has rooted into the soil. The stem from the mother plant and the root are still quite green, so clearly young, but I wouldn't separate them anyway, I think they look awesome together 😍 Thank you for introducing me to such a wonderful plant 🤩

  • @SuperManning11
    @SuperManning11 Před 3 měsíci

    I have a similar sanseveria that I keep outside because it is so dangerous to people and pets! It is not exactly a ‘walking’ variety, but rather it sends out new plants like a spider plant does. The leaves are larger and darker and a bit rounder, and those spikes are so hard and sharp. I don’t know what it is called.

  • @amandachrismen426
    @amandachrismen426 Před rokem +3

    What a fun topic!
    I'm so glad you brought up the Sansevieria samurai- the soil kind of washed away from the top of mine and I'm just calling it a pinguicula dupe nowadays. Does the pinguicula have orange roots too? That's my favorite part of the samurai.

  • @RandomRob3000
    @RandomRob3000 Před rokem

    I think my top 5 'weird' or 'odd' plants are:
    Pilea peperomiodies - mainly 'cuz as it's gotten older it's just growing very wonky
    Dragon Fruit cactus (Hylocereus megalanthus) - Grows extremely fast and just wants to go everywhere! Keep on a heavy trellis and outdoors for summer
    Peperomia liadensis (Velvet Tree) - I only see it for sell in Europe, and that's where I got mine, mail-order no less. Like a P. incana on steroids and bonus! It produces babies from the base of its trunk.
    Peperomia obtusifolia variegata - Mine is huge and actually 'trails' since it's so top heavy. I love it though!
    Thaumatophyllum spruceanum (Philo. goeldii) - It's like another 'schefflera' mimic.

    I love your weirdos! I have a jatropha podagrica, or "Buddha belly", that has very unusual bark. Also, I have albuca bracteata more commonly called "pregnant onion." I bought the mother plant in 1977 and have given away so many babies. I've never seen it in any plant or garden shops since I bought mine.

  • @dianal3827
    @dianal3827 Před rokem

    I just ordered my weirdest plant yet. It is a Seidenfadenia Mitrata (formerly classified as an Aerides). It is a very strange orchid that is supposed to take the same care as a Vanda. We'll see, I'm scared and excited.
    Also, do you have any Aeschynanthus in your collection? I don't see those plants in videos usually. They're pretty similar to hoyas.

  • @debbiefox6846
    @debbiefox6846 Před rokem

    Hi Nick I think your Peperomia is a Peperomia Distichia [scandens] Crane's Flecked. They aren't super common. There are lots of Scandens but not these around.
    I love Dischidia and own several and have owned many before. My fav I own currently is Watermelon Dischidia just because it's so pretty when sun stressed & the leaves are super beefy & heavy. It drapes gorgeously. Yours is very cool! I think Ceropegia woodii are also unusual and the flowers are so strange. Love mine. 🫶💚🪴🌵🌿☘️🌱🍃🪷

  • @SANDRA-ni3wi
    @SANDRA-ni3wi Před rokem

    I love Dischidia, I have a pectionoides type B, I really wanted the A type with the balloonlike leaves, but allas it has been out of stock for a long time. I als have a ruscifolia albomarginata. The pectinoides flowers for me every year. If you like weird plants, you should try Lithops, they look like living rocks. Such a cool genus, and really easy to look after.

    I agree, always thought it was kind of ridiculous to quote one’s “success” as an hourly wage, or even justify taking a trip because it’ll equate to XYZ dollars per hour.
    In the latter situation, that’s assuming you got back to back orders with exactly the same metrics as the first trip you took, which we all know is not the case. And in the former, unless you’re in CA and getting a decent prop 22 payment, and maybe a few other major markets, saying you’re consistently making that hourly is pretty unfathomable because there are ALWAYS going to be down times. Of course, if you’re averaging all your earnings across a certain period it might equate to that, but no, that’s not you’re hourly wage.
    As far as having a W2 and also doing this, I especially never considered the gig work on an hourjy basis, I’ve always gone by what you said - I have four hours free to deliver, let’s see how much I make. I might set a goal of say $100 in that 4h, but it’s not that I’m saying I wanted to go out and try to make $25/h
