Did you create this yourself? Kudos, if so! If not, do you have a source? Either way, thank you for sharing. My plants are thanking you too ;)

Wait, is this a mushroom or a coral? Perhaps like some other lurking upvoters, I am not actively growing or finding but do enjoy learning from the posts here. Thanks for sharing!

Ha, in that case, it is either a lost Rufous or an Allen with a chip on his shoulder. Or perhaps a lost and pissed off Rufallen ;) Thank you for the explanation!

How can you tell Rufous and Allen's apart? I think I might have Allen's (darker head), but a) my eyes are bad, and b) those little buggers are fast!

I like this daring approach to getting more plants! Also had to look up 'zombie leaves' and apparently they are sold as plants by themselves. From an ag extension school in NC::

Some, but not all, plants can be propagated from just a leaf or a section of a leaf. Leaf cuttings of most plants will not generate a new plant; they usually produce only a few roots or just decay. Because leaf cuttings do not include an axillary bud, they can be used only for plants that are capable of forming adventitious buds.

Fiddle, are you capable??

Mango seeds are quite distinctive, so if she remembers planting it but just doesn't remember the fruit it came from, perhaps it is something other than mango.

undersea hornets, hope you escaped in one piece!

This is a glorious, nerdy, delightful explosion of memeness! (thanks for sharing, your user name is quite apt 😂)

I didn't know that about rubber plants, thanks. Yes, I was thinking of the ficus benjamina, with smallish leaves and an arching/drooping habit.

If you have the space, a ficus is a pretty classic houseplant with different contours than the plants you have already.

lovely! There is a somewhat lonely orchid community at lemmy.ml (c/orchids). I don't know how to link/crosspost, but if you do, they might appreciate this :)
