My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
My husbands grandmother gave me this plant and it is droppy. Is there anything I can do to make it stand taller? Would splitting it into taller pots help? Also can anyone id the plant in the last photo. She can't remember.
They look like they might be too dry(?) and also probably grown in less light then ideal. I doubt those leaves will straighten, but new growth will be stronger/firmer if you get them in better lighting. Adjust to stronger light slowly over a couple weeks......too quickly, especially if they get some sunlight for the first time, will sunburn them. If they have been in those pots for some time I would also knock most of the soil off the roots and repot them into fresh appropriate soil (e.g. potting soil or cactus soil with extra perlite added). I think the second is a S. trifasciata 'Moonshine'. The leaves look longer than typical but I think this is low light once again.
Probably very low light as they are unpotted and stored in the basement until spring. They were just potted but in regular potting mix. I have them in front of my sliding glass door tha recieves light until noon so more than that? Also thanks for the reply.
On my taller sans, I put tomato cages around them to keep the leaves from flopping over. You could place 4 sticks around the pot then use green garbage ties to encircle them. Some times the leaves will stay with age when propped up. But if not, the new leaves and new rhizomes should be taller and straighter as stated.
Thank you so much. Do you think it will get enough light in front of the sliding door or should i move it? Can i put it outside during the day or strictly indoor. I am going to repot it this weekend. I couldnt find perilite at lowes so will check HD tomorrow.
Which way does that door face........east, west, north. Is there anything outside blocking sunlight (trees, other buildings). How are the temps outside. A shady spot outside is most likely a LOT brighter than a shady or even "sunny" spot inside. They usually thrive if moved outside for the summer (when it is warm). However, make any changes to more light gradual or you will sunburn the leaves. Introduce to a little bit of very early sun, than another hour the nest day, and another hour the 3rd day.......something like that.
