Ctenanthe lubbersiana? That patch with the darker spots looks fungal to me. I would check the roots, if they look healthy not dried up or rotten, I would get a fungicidal spay like captain jacks. Applied at night to avoid burning leaves. Could be an airflow issue as these plants like to be evenly moist and in relatively higher humidity or they crisp up along the edges. Without some good airflow fungus can spread.

Here is what the product looks like:

Well they can eat us when we croak so fair enough. If we don’t feed our cat sharply at 5 am makes us think she just might take a nibble.

Depends on where you are putting these, and where the light source is. If they are going to be alongside a south facing window or you plan to use grow lights, you could get some higher light plants like succulents, and herbs but that also is a pretty deep pot and succulent and cacti don’t have large root wads, so they could get overwatered easily.

I would say for bright indirect light a combination of heart leaf philodendron varieties like brasil, neon, micans look great cascading down the wall, scindapsis (also called satin pothos but isn’t has a lovely texture). Also pothos others mentioned but I like the form of the others better. Not sure how high above the tv these would be but they would have to be pruned back or they would cover the tv, also up higher on the wall generally you have less light unless you have skylights or floor to ceiling windows. Spider plants wouldn’t get super long but would drape over, you could also look at tradescantia varieties they can tolerate a little lower light.

You would buy these as plants not typically seeds. You can find pretty grown out plants at big box stores but even better check out your local nursery or plant shop.

This is just a pink salmon aka a humpy. Other species of salmon get the big overbite - called a kipe and big doglike teeth and usually more red coloration.

But was it as big as Klee Irwin’s description on his infamous TV infomercial for dual cleanse? I ask you…. I watched this infomercial in absolute awe and confusion once back in 2005/2006 eating lunch at home sick. I had to look this up again seeing this post.

Link to transcript description

“I’ll never forget the first time I saw my four-year-old daughter’s bowel movement in the toilet. It literally scared me. She wasn’t more than 45 pounds, but her bowel movement was about as thick as my wrist and about as long as her arm. And I thought, ‘Oh my God.’ I got scared. I was going to call my wife. I thought, ‘How could something that big come of something—a little child—that small. And I thought, I’m six feet tall and I weigh 190 pounds and by proportion to my size compared to hers my bowel movements were very inadequate to say the least.”

Happy International Women’s Day to everyone! I volunteered at an IWD event this week and it was really encouraging and always eye opening. Many of us feeling imposter syndrome in our work and this ever-gnawing anxiety about the direction things are headed but just sharing and witnessing the courage out there was inspiring. We are out here and you are not alone!

Thanks for reaching in! I am just going to celebrate by taking care of myself this weekend, sleeping in as best I can, squeezing my cat, getting a massage, taking a walk, and planning out my balcony garden ideas for this year.
