Monstera Punctulata Modern

Buy Monstera Punctulata For Sale

Monstera punctulata (Monstera deliciosa) is a tropical rainforest plant native to southern Mexico and south Panama. It has been introduced to many tropical places, becoming a somewhat invasive species in Hawaii and Seychelles. The particular epithet comes from the Latin pungens, which means “pointed.”

This well-established plant comes in a 4.5″ nursery container with drainage. Monstera punctulata (also known as the fiddle leaf fig or Swiss cheese plant) is an attractive evergreen native to Central and South American tropical forests, making it ideal for a warm, humid environment inside your home.

Monstera plants are low-maintenance and easy to care for, and they can make a dramatic accent to any room. Prefers direct sunlight to partial shade. Depending on the conditions, water once every 7-10 days. Before watering again, make sure the soil has dried out. Fertilize your houseplants on a regular basis with a specific houseplant fertilizer, about once every 6 weeks during the warmer months when the plant is actively growing.

Monstera punctulata, sometimes known as Monstera, is a plant in the Araceae family. It’s called Monstera punctulata variegata and has a different appearance from other Monstera kinds.

It has white variegations on its leaves (this variety has some green on the leaves too). The white color is caused by a lack of chlorophyll in particular places, making for an eye-catching variant of this popular houseplant.

Monstera punctulata is an evergreen shrub with dark green foliage. Its enormous, oval-shaped leaves are densely overlapping and reach a width of 3 feet. Although it grows quickly in optimal conditions, it is also incredibly adaptable, making it simple to care for in homes or businesses. This lovely plant can grow up to 10 feet tall and would look lovely in any indoor space.

Essential Tools for Monstera Punctulata Plant Care

Houseplant potting soil

Peat and aeration stones

Water probe or moisture meter

Protective gardening gloves

Pruning shears

Watering can

Spray bottle

Drip tray

Well-draining container

All-purpose, balanced houseplant fertilizer

The Monstera Punctulata is virtually an indoor tree; the plant may grow up to 20 feet in a pot, but its practical interior height is seven to nine feet. The Monstera Punctulata thrives in humidity and indirect sunshine, so if you have a south-facing window, you should be fine.

Keep the soil slightly damp when watering, as overwatering is one of the reasons why this plant dies quickly. It’s also simple to maintain; simply removing leaves from dead plants or applying leaf shine or wood polish restores its luster.

Monstera is one of the simplest tropical plants to cultivate indoors. It features a bamboo-like brown stem and tall, glossy leaves. A Monstera can sprout two leaves at a time and can grow to be 4′ long. The plant enjoys bright indirect light and will grow under fluorescent lights, but it can also be placed near a south-facing window that receives indirect sunlight for approximately 10 hours each day.

Too much spraying or misting of the leaves can cause the surface to develop black spots, which can grow if left untreated. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings when growing Monstera, but do not let it go fully dry.

While I'm working on my Honduran Milks bioactive, I did wanna take the time to talk about Links Bioactive. Link is my overweight[He's working on it! <3] Male Emergency re-home Ball Python. I typically avoid this species, but he's been a fantastic little Unicorn for me. So lets talk about Link's enclosure and how it works! Link is in a 4ft x 2ft x 2ft PVC Enclosure- this is the *minimum* size this species requires to thrive. His substrate is made up of a layer of perlite sitting at the bottom of his enclosure, this layer of perlite acts as a drainage layer. This drainage layer, which catches excess water that seeps through the substrate. It also helps with catching potentially bad bacteria, and helps with your plants roots! The rest of the substrate sitting ontop of that layer of perlite is a mix of Ecogro organic topsoil, Coco fiber, and Sphagnum moss. I cannot stress this enough, but if you choose to do a bio-active enclosure PLEASE be sure to choose a organic substrate!! Fertilized substrate can be toxic to your animal, this includes manure-based fertilizers. To promote healthy growth, I choose to use Coco fiber and Sphagnum Moss. The Coco fibe[Coco peat] Is a safer way to promote healthy soil for both your plant, and your animals, while the Sphagnum Moss is fantastic at holding water and Nutrients for your plants. The arguably biggest and most important part of this enclosure is the cleanup crew. Your cleanup crew will break down decaying plant matter and your animals feces and return it to the soil, as well as cleaning bacteria growth. Bio-actives cannot function in the long-run without a cleanup crew. The cleanup crew I chose consist of Dairy Cow isopods[Porcellio laevis], and Temperate Springtails[Collembola sp.]. You can Mix-and match your Isopods and Springtails as long as its a species that can tolerate the humidity and temps your animal requires, HOWEVER! Its important to note your Isopod species. I chose not to mix Isopods in this enclosure as Dairy cows are kinda known for being aggressive. For plants, ball Pythons are incredibly Bulldozery animals and will trample much of your flora. Needing hardy plants that could survive being trampled and occasionally uprooted was a must for him, and after thought and research, I ended up settling on these: Golden Pothos, Snake plants, and Jade Pothos. Some just overall incredibly hardy plants that, since having them, I've found fantastic success with surviving Links night-time pathing and assaults. I also have a Philodendron [Monstera adansonii,] in there, providing cover and clutter around and over his hot hide. I'm proud of this plant surviving so far, to say I added it with a specific reason would be a goddamn lie lmao I just loved how cool it looked. The fact it's survived and adapted for as long as it has is a miracle in of itself, and I wish great health amongst this trooper of a plant. I deep water once a week to keep my plants healthy and the soil moist enough for my isopods to thrive, with occasional spraying staggered through the week. Overall, this is how Links Bioactive tank is settup! Is this the only way to set up a Bioactive tank? Certainly not! There's plenty of ways you can setup a Bioactive. Does your animal absolutely NEED a bioactive enclosure? For a lot of animals that answers going to be no! It doesn't. Bio-active vs Non-bio-actives have their pros and cons that, maybe Ill ramble about in a later post. And probably talk on what a Bioactive even is and go into much more detail than I did here about how it works. But I chose Bioactive personally because the long-term upkeep is less costly and labor-inducing, and I just love the looks of them. AndICanHaveAsManyGoddamnIsopodsAsIWant<3

𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮

𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢 is a genus of plants in the Araceae family that is extremely popular among plant collectors or indoor growers. The Monstera genus has about 50 recorded plant species, however variations within each species are quite numerous and leaf shape continuously changes through stages throughout the developmental life cycle. The Tobancay classification table compiled includes the common and easily confused species, types or forms of 13 popular 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢 types, listed specifically below:

𝟭. 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘀𝗮 𝘃𝗮𝗿. 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗹/ 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗼 𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺

This is a variety of species 𝘔. 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘴𝘢, said to originate from Brazil, with deeper cuts and only one row of wide holes or an additional row of small holes close to the midrib; The leaf shape is round, the tips of the leaf lobes are pointed and curved.

𝟮. 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘀𝗮 𝘃𝗮𝗿. 𝘀𝗶𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗮

Previously it was scientifically described by G.S. Bunting in 1965 and classified as a lower level (variety) of Monstera deliciosa, now it has been grouped together and considered a variant of this species. 𝘔. 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘴𝘢 var. 𝘴𝘪𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘢 was first found in 1961 in the Sierra de Juárez mountain range in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. The outstanding features of its leaf shape are 2 very low leaf base lobes, deep slits near the middle of the leaf veins, curved and pointed tip, with only very few holes arranged in a row on each side.

𝟯. 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮 ‘𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗹𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝘅 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝗺𝗲’

This type was often mistakenly labeled Monstera dilacerata, however this name is a synonym of 𝘌𝘱𝘪𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘯𝘶𝘮 𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘮. Its cultivar name is given to Roberto Burle Marx, most of the later seedlings were propagated from the first specimen in his personal plant collection and since he left no notes about this specimen, it has not been used. clear where it comes from. It is also hypothesized that 𝘔. ‘𝘉𝘶𝘳𝘭𝘦 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘹 𝘍𝘭𝘢𝘮𝘦’ is a variation of 𝘔. 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘴𝘢 var. 𝘴𝘪𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘢, their appearance has many similarities, except for the deeper cuts, the leaf lobes are thinner, sharper and more curved towards the end, the overall shape is also more elongated and has almost no holes.

𝟰. Schott 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮

This species was first scientifically described by H.W. Schott in 1857, and its natural distribution range stretches from Costa Rica to Ecuador and Venezuela. Its name is given to the characteristic of mature leaves divided into lobes according to a pinnate structure. The leaf shape is long oval or elliptical and can have 2 colors when young, gradually disappearing when mature; The leaf lobes are deeply cut into the midrib and have almost no holes. The adult leaf size can reach 70 cm in length.

𝟱. 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘀𝗮 Liebm.

Native from Mexico to Panama and first scientifically described by Liebmann in 1849, it quickly became popular and was grown as an ornamental plant and for its fruit. The name of the Genus 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢 is derived from the Latin word ‘monstrum’ meaning ‘bizarre, extraordinary’ and the species name ‘deliciosa’ meaning ‘delicious’. It is a highly diverse species, many of its designs and variations are found and recorded in nature as well as selective breeding. The most common type has a round gourd leaf shape, mature leaves are divided into many closely spaced lobes, on the leaf blades there are one to two rows of large holes and small random holes, the number of holes and slits depends on factors. environment; Leaf size can reach more than 90 cm in optimal conditions.

𝟲. 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮 𝗽𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗮 (Schott) Schott ex Engl.

Has a distribution range from Mexico to Panama, first scientifically described in 1879. 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢 𝘱𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘢 has many similar characteristics to the more common species 𝘔𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢 𝘥𝘶𝘣𝘪𝘢, however its leaf blade is wider, the two leaf bases are shaped Full heart-shaped, mature leaves can reach 120 cm in length.

𝟳. 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮 𝗱𝘂𝗯𝗶𝗮 (Kunth) Engl. & K. Krause

Native plant of Central and South America, first scientifically described in 1908. Sometimes 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢 𝘥𝘶𝘣𝘪𝘢 is also sold as 'shingle plant', referring to the characteristic of scaly leaves when young, the leaves also has a layer of sparkling silver that gradually disappears as it matures, at which point the leaves begin to have holes and splits. Mature leaf blades have an elongated oval shape, each side has 1-3 rows of holes, both sides of the leaf base are narrow and deep, mature leaves can reach 100 cm in length.

𝟴. 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮 ‘𝗘𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗼’

Previously, it was often mistakenly sold as 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢 𝘦𝘱𝘪𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘯𝘰𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘴, however. 𝘔. 𝘦𝘱𝘪𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘯𝘰𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘴 is a species in nature and is very rare in the market, while 𝘔. 'Esqueleto' is a variety of unknown origin and is being sold quite commonly.

This mistake was corrected at the end of 2019, and the members of 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗮𝘀𝘁𝘀 temporarily named 'Esqueleto' instead, the word in Spanish Nha means 'skeleton' or ' 'skeleton' by the dense perforated structure on the leaves, mature leaf size can reach more than 60 cm with impressively wide holes.

𝟵. Schott 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮

Naturally distributed from Mexico to Venezuela and Bolivia, first collected by Wilibald Lechler in Peru and scientifically described by H.W. Schott in 1860. The leaf blade is oval, the leaf surface is glossy, with few veins and quite a few holes. Small sized holes distributed in a row mainly on each side of the leaf. This is also one of the 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢 species that has an extremely large size when mature, the leaf length can reach 120 cm, so it also has another synonym name 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘹𝘪 𝘮𝘢.

𝟭𝟬. 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮 𝗮𝗳𝗳. 𝗹𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗮

A type of 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢 is very popular and widely sold, in the past most gardens used the same name 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢 𝘢𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘪 𝘪 refers to the common leaf type when young, for mature plants it is sold as Monstera adansonii giant, Monstera lechleriana or Monstera acuminata, however recently this name has been corrected, this is a species and has no official scientific description, so it can only be temporarily called 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢 sp./ 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢 NoID or 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢 aff. 𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘭𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘢, its origin is also unclear. Just like other 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢 species, 𝘔. aff. 𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘭𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘢 has many stages of morphological development, the more mature the holes on the leaf become smaller, arranged in a row of main holes and a row of smaller and fewer holes near the main vein, the leaf has a pointed elliptical shape at the tip and two sides. Leaf base lobes are asymmetrical, mature leaves can reach more than 80cm.

𝟭𝟭. 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮 𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗶 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗽. 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗮 (Schott) Mayo & I.M.Andrade

The species 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢 𝘢𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘪 is very rare and difficult to find on the market, however its subspecies is 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢 𝘢𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘪 subsp. 𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘢 is very common, this subspecies is naturally distributed in the tropical regions of Central and South America, and was first scientifically described in 1879. Characteristic identification features of 𝘔. 𝘢𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘪 subsp. 𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘢 is the wing part of the leaf petiole that dries and falls off, the two lobes at the base of the leaf are asymmetrical, one side has a rounded square corner, the other side is half a heart shape. The hole is narrow and long, consisting of a row of large holes and a few small holes near the midrib. Mature leaves can be up to 60 cm long.

𝟭𝟮. Matuda.

A native plant of Belize, Guatemala, and Mexico, first scientifically described by Matuda in 1949, the first specimen was found in Acacoyagua, Chiapas state of Mexico. 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢 𝘢𝘤𝘢𝘤𝘰𝘺𝘢𝘨𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘴 has oval leaf blades, glossy leaf surface, wavy leaf edges, random large and small holes, mature leaves can reach a length of 10 0 cm.

𝟭𝟯. 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮 𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗮 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘂

𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦��𝘢 𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘢 is a native species of Central and South America, highly diverse with many variations and leaf shapes depending on the natural distribution location, the most common type is 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵 𝘦𝘳𝘢 𝘰𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘢 Peruvian also known as Peruvian form originates from Peru. 𝘔. The Peruvian plant impresses with its slender beauty thanks to its large and wide hole system, occupying most of the leaf area; This is also one of the few types of 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢 that keeps its compact size even when mature, the leaf length only reaches about 25-30cm.

Not a botanist, but Monstera are my favorite plant. They create holes and splits in their leaves and we're not really sure why? But there are theories that talk about their leaves splitting in order to give their lower leaves access to sunlight, promoting air flow, and increasing their surface area without having to expand energy producing more leaves.

They only split if they're healthy, too! If they're sick or not getting enough water the leaves will stay unsplit and start to wilt.

They're self pollinating because they have both male and female flowers, and they also produce edible fruit!

The fruit is the only thing that can safely be handled and eaten, though. It has calcium oxalate in its sap that causes skin irritation if handled and stomach issues if ingested, so it's not a good plant for homes with pets.

Monsteras are also an invasive species in the southern US and are known to represent suffocation because of how quickly and aggressively it grows and chokes out native plants.

Okay, plant rant over have a good one Judas 🤙

good to know! thank you thats very interesting.

I FINALLY FOUND IT

@ozymandias5854

"Flowers: thank you to Puga and Oto in the MILGRAM Stanclub for identifying these!

Bird of Paradise: Paradise, freedom, joy. It can also symbolise faithfulness in romantic relationships and optimism. Wilted in the MV, which could suggest the absence of freedom, joy, etc, as well as a lack of faithfulness.

Dahlia: Elegance, inner stength, change, creativity, dignity. Alternatively, it can represent betrayal, instability, and dishonesty. It's also notable that in the Victorian era they symbolised a lasting bond/lifelong commitment between two people. Also wilted, which could suggest a lack of inner strength and a failed long-term relationship/committment.

ORCHIDS: There's a lot of orchids so I'm going to put their general meanings in here. Orchids are typically used at weddings and funerals and represent love, luxury, beauty and strength, as well as virility in Ancient Greece. They are very much associated with love, and their usage at funerals is often to represent everlasting love for the deceased. They can also be thought to bring good luck and fortune in love.

Elleanthus (orchid): It's sort of a purple/pink so: Pink orchids are the 14th wedding anniversary flower and convey pure affection. Purple orchids symbolise respect, and are generally given as a gift to show affection.

Egret orchid: Typically white, so they would normally symbolise innocence and purity, as well as elegance and reverence. However, the ones in the video are red, and red orchids typically symbolise fire, romance, desire, and passion. They're very rare in the wild, which is notable as in the tradition of gifting exotic flowers to show love and affection, the rarer the flower, the deeper the affection. (two seperate omori fans in the replies add: "My thoughts will follow you into your dreams.")

Dendrobium: Popular for use in weddings, particularly as corsages or in bridal flower arrangements to show the beauty of the bride.

Butterfly orchid: The most famous orchid species, they symbolise elegance, femininity and unity.

Cymbidium: Commonly known as a boat orchid, it represents morality and virtue, and in Asia it is an honour/gesture of respect and friendship to give a cymbidium.

Wilted: could represent a loss of morality/virtue.

Masterwort: Also known as astrantia. Can be a romantic flower, referred to in old folk tales as stars that have fallen to earth. Symbolic meaning is a strong, brave protector. Wilted, which could suggest that someone (probably Shidou) has failed in their role of protector.

Anthurium + Monstera: Anthurium signifies long lasting love and friendship, and it said to bring luck in your relationship. Known also as a flamingo lily, it's one of the most gifted plants on Valentine's Day due to it's heart shaped leaves and in Ancient Greece the flowers of anthurium were said to be Cupid's arrows. Monstera can represent suffocation, or long life and the honouring of elders.

King Protea: Named after the Greek god Poseidon's son Proteus, who would change his appearance to avoid detection. Generally thought to symbolise diversity, daring, transformation, and courage.

Calla lily: Symbolism varies by flower colour. However, they're generally used for occasions such as weddings and funerals due to their beauty and are also associated with purity, holiness, faithfulness. The 6th wedding anniversary flower. Dark red symbolises passion and intensity. Although calla lilies are not true lilies, lilies can symbolize that the soul of the departed has received restored innocence after death.

Roses: Love, romance, can also be linked to secrecy. Appears on four tarot cards: the fool, the magician, strength, and death. In Greek mythology, roses originated from Adonis.

Note: a lot of them have different features like not being fully bloomed, so keep that in mind. I'll update this later"

posted 2 years ago as of october 24th, 2023!

HELLO!! sorry i just remembered to respond to this but thank you!!

the meaning of the wilted cymbidium is so interesting woag…. loss of morality/virtue really hits with shidou to be honest

assign the other mods types of plants

i assign lucy with sunflower bc she always makes my day. bri is a daffodil bc they bloom even in early spring when the weather is shit and then they still come back every year they're just that metal (also the colour reminds me of those handwarmers i knitted you). mel and shelby occupy the same space in my brain and are those cool succulents that get flowers i think. i don't have a reason for that one. - jess

jess is a chinese evergreen. bri is a philodendron, specifically the brasil species. lu my sweet is a pothos n'joy. shelby is, ofc, a monstera delicioso bc i swear to god we have 7 in our apartment, and only 2 are mine. - mel

lu also gives me n'joy, because in my experience they are small little hearts and bring joy to my life. jess gets golden pothos because she is impossible to kill and bri is a marble queen because i just think they're Neat. mel is an english ivy - shelby

Bri is a tulip, specifically the tall red ones I have outside my house because they're very happy flowers. Jess is a big old apple tree you can climb and spend an afternoon reading in because she's a grandma. Mel and Shelby are the sweetcorn and french bean combo I have growing in my garden where you use the sweetcorn to support the french beans: not to be separated. - Lucy

I think jess is a aphelandra squarrosa bc they're zebra printed and also have cute yellow flowers that remind me of the very same handwarmers jess made me that I very dearly love! Mel is Canterbury Bells because they come in cute colours, and they thrive in the sun, and Shelby is a fire lily because it's so bright and warm, and just popped into my head when I thought about assigning them a flower. and Lucy is a Bleeding Hearts plant (or Dicentra spectabilis) because she has a really big heart (and I will fight everyone who annoys her). - bri

OCs As Poisonous Plants

Thank you @vox-monstera for the tag! <3 I actually really love dress up games lol, they're fun.

Rules: create a look-book for one (or more) of your ocs using this meiker and then take this uquiz and share their results.

Grandpa V in a couple of different fits. Deep down she just wants to be comfy and curl up into a little ball in oversized clothes. I also just realized she'd totally be down for fanny packs, extra pocket space for grenades and snacks.

Lily Of The Valley

This is the poison of giving too much. You feel yourself emptying out, dizzying, discoloring-- until you fear you will fade entirely and wither away. You have always had to give. You never had a choice before. They pluck your flowers for their beauty, they trample your leaves carelessly, they pull out your roots by the fistful and berate you for daring to grow. And now that you have a grove to spread out in, your rhizomes tangle and curl in on themselves. When cruelty is all you've ever known, thriving seems impossible. But the answer is not to make yourself small and offer every lovely thing you are to the world in the hopes it will have mercy on you. The answer is to let yourself dare to thrive for thriving's sake, to grow in the wild ways you wish to-- and to do that for yourself for once.

Too tired to tag rn lol. Do the thing if you want! Follow your heart!

Being a plant nerd below the cut.

Lily of the Valley - Convallaria majalis - Is a flowering plant native to Europe and Eurasia (there's another species Convallaria pseudomajalis, which is native to North America), and are members of the asparagus family! While often cultivated in gardens for their beautiful flowers and fragrant scent, they are highly poisonous and contain high amounts cardiac glycosides, which are toxic to humans and other animals if ingested. Poisonous compounds found in plants are defensive mechanisms to help reduce herbaceous grazing from animals.

I've been thinking about indoor plants soooo much since I read Code Verde (which was still so good!) And now I want to know what sort of plants you think would suit each of the Tracy boys under the assumption that they're a great plant dad 😄💕 (if you are so inclined 💕💕)

Buckle up, let's go!

Assuming plant dad is a shared Tracy trait, I think Tracy villa would be quite the nursery! Now I will admit, houseplants are a hobby of mine, and I do love foliage and greenery. But I am in no ways an expert. So here are some possible headcanons for plantdad!Tracys. In truth, they probably have so much outside their windows…

I was indecisive on some of these, so I may have talked about both the plant I think they'd actually grow and the plant that matches their personalities symbolically.

Scott - Pothos is a common name for a plant that is not a pothos species at all, but rather an epipremnum. These are a vining plant and quite common, but there is a gorgeous species called cebu blue that I think is spot on for Scott. They do have a blue green color that's just chef's kiss Symbolically, I think these match the kind of person that is a constant dreamer because of the way they will continue to grow and endure, creating lush waterfalls of color. They can be relentless. I think they are perfect for someone who reaches for the sky, because in the wild, they will climb up trees.

Also, they can develop fenestrations as they grow. I am not sure if this is true, but I have heard the theory that plant leaves develop those splits or holes in order to make sure the leaves below it still gets the light it needs, and if that doesn't sound like Scott to you, I don't know what does.

I think the practical side of him would enjoy plants that also have a use - so, he's got the basil, and rosemary and sage in sweet little pots by the kitchen windowsills… (did we just enter the cottagecore of TSOF? We might have).

Virgil - Virgil to me is a creature of the big leaves, the Aroid Connoisseur. I stand by what I originally wrote in Verde, which is that he'd be the one with the massive monstera (for which the same fenestration story applies). But in addition to monsteras … I also think he'd be into those large anthuriums, the upright philodendrons. He'd be into leaf shape, and the patterns created by the veining, and the fun textures created by the structures and diverse stems.

But since Virgil is passionate about so many things - lifting but also the precision of art, and engineering but also the release of music, and so on … I see him also have orchids, with a variety of flowers. He sees the beauty in so many things, so I think he'd appreciate the delicate nature of orchids too.

John - I have all over my fics that John's the hoya guy. It's in Verde, but I also have a little mini one shot called Inflorescence here. The hoyas are the ones I can keep alive, so they are the ones I think would do best with John's time away. By nature of the humidity, they would love Tracy Island since many hoya species are from Australia, tropical areas of Asia, and the Pacific Islands. You'll see hoya at vining species either trailing or climbing, often epiphytic hanging off branches of trees. For those not familiar with hoyas, they are sometimes called wax plants and they flower in little clusters (as you might have seen in some of my pictures). They are hardy and durable.

I'll admit, now that I've seen it a lot too, I can't quite separate him from being the one who likes cacti and succulents too, which matches his brand of chaos. He's a busy guy, so any plants he has would need to be able to handle a bit of distraction while he works on his 10 other passions and learns his siblings' too for the hell of it.

Gordon - He's our little naturalist, so I think Gordon in reality would be more a follower of aquaponics, and the types of plants that would do well in his aquariums. Some of these may overlap with his brothers', but his plants would be the ones that would help with his water purification. I think he'd have peace lilies and sygoniums and dracaenas and a PROLIFIC money plant, and probably so many propagations of his brothers' plants. He probably has a spider plant that looks like chaos incarnate with a ton of offsets that really should be separated, but she's his shaggy girl and he loves her.

Alan - I see Alan liking structural plants, the tenacious kind, like himself. Tall ones that grow vertically and baby plants that stay small. Palms and snake plants and aloe and jade, and plants with cool names like the 'samurai sansevieria', but his favorite is the one that looks like Shrek's ears.

I see Kayo being into dark foliage; there's a gorgeous alocasia she probably heard about from Virgil, called "Black Velvet" that feels soooo up her alley. There's a part of me that wants Brains to be into begonia and the many cultivars of. If plants were one of his passions, it just feels like something that would keep him interested since there's always so much happening in that side of the hobby. You know - why not? He's done an entire thesis on the Fibonacci sequence on his begonia escargot. And Grandma feels like calathea - color and patterns that are all about movement. <3

Okay I've rambled enough.

[11022023] Anthro Moroi Dootch

Doodle/Sketch that was kinda a warmup as I tried to figure out what I should do now that I'm not driven by prompts anymore. Lol. Ended up with an anthro version of Moroi. He can't exactly wear shirts because of his back fins/back spikes so he ends up wearing shawls often. He do be rockin those traveler pants and monstera sandals tho. Not sure on his abilities yet, just needed something for him to interact with, lol. I imagine they'd be shadow-themed in some way.

_ Art belongs to myself, @kqltlc Savra (species) belongs to Leayph.com Don't use in anyway whatsoever, thnx.

15 Questions for 15 Mutuals

as tagged by @vault-heck <3 thank you friend, I hope you're doing well these days! tagging @edaworks and @perfectlypreservedpie @persephotea @truebluemeandyou @bokatan @aviatorfics @wolfbirbisme @khazrablood @kremvhstooth

1. Are you named after anyone?

My name is a bit of an "oof". In a sentence my mom was raised by Very Strict Irish Parents and she had me at 18. They disowned us after I was born; my name is her mom's middle name and my middle is the fem version of her dad's name. I have mulled over changing it because we don't have a relationship with them - it's fairly unique being an Irish name and I find myself resigned to it. TMI moving on lmao

2. When was the last time you cried?

I cry every time my girlfriend goes home :'D

3. Do you have kids?

I have PCOS and will hit 30 next year - I likely will never have my own but I am open to adopting :) I really love kids.

4. Do you use sarcasm a lot?

I invented sarcasm

5. What sports do you play/have you played?

Judo

6. What's the first thing you notice about other people?

I notice.. a lot - I am... observant about people, to use a word. Whether you feel awkward or standoffish or open or not. I don't know how to describe it. Perhaps it is a body language thing.

7. Eye color?

Bright blue - kind of like the lighter part of a blue portal from, well Portal

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

Why not both? :D

9. Any special talents?

One thing my girlfriend mentioned is I can pick people apart like a lawyer can. I can figure out fairly quickly what someone's damage is and put someone in their place. This sounds like an evil skill, but the best way of putting it is I am not going to be dishonest if you act holier than thou or if you think you're special and better than others, and you need to be told to sit down. An example of doing this for good is standing up for people, especially if someone is being punched down upon. If you enjoy being a bully to others in fandom spaces because you feel most comfortable when you're an expert and can control the conversation, and that self perception being questioned is such a problem you think you're being attacked (yet do nothing when a less popular account than yours gets a ton of hate for days while you get headpats from your minions), I'm gonna send an anon about it. Bullies tend to be insecure nerds and I will do my best to call them out behind the scenes.

10. Where were you born?

Atlantic Canada

11. What are your hobbies?

I write Long Time Running on AO3. I am a really big music fan and am a bit of a historian for punk music. I really love my plants - I collect primarily aroid species such as philodendron and monstera but I also really miss traditional gardening. The goal is to get a fraction of a piece of land sometime in the next few years so I can have a proper garden space again. Woooo compost :)

12. Do you have any pets?

I do not and I wish to! I can claim my partner's cockatiel, Darwin. We video chat and it's funny - he and I have intense whistling conversations and he understands I exist but he doesn't conceptualize that me existing through the phone doesn't = me being in the same room. So he tries looking around the phone to see if I am there. Poor baby

13. How tall are you?

5"2. Tiny terror

14. Fave subject in school?

I felt most seen by Language Arts/English. My fourth grade teacher let me read the Lord of the Rings trilogy for a book report instead of telling me I had to choose just one for a book report. I am hopeless if I am not writing

15. Dream job?

Everyone asks me what I wanna be when I grow up, everyone asks me what I wanna do for a job. Nobody asks me if I want to work or not. I don't. I want to be a househusband for my girlfriend and I want to make her lunch and keep her house clean. This said, I am in school to be a paralegal because working and getting an income is important I guess. True Marxist Accelerationism is accepting: money isn't real, be a wifeguy instead ;)

#thank you for the tag #sorry for the ramble #and the TMI #I do that
