Many years ago an ex of mine gave me a poor twig of a plant he had been neglecting. His ex had given it to him long before that. This plant is a Corn Plant (Dracaena). This week it flowered. I didn't even know they did that. The flowers only open at night and have a strong smell that not everyone loves. I have decided that this strong smell, a smell that most find annoying, must be the smell of exes past.

Plant of the Day

Sunday 12 February 2023

The tropical, upright evergreen Dracaena 'Lemon Lime' (dragon tree, corn plant, striped dracaena) has dramatic coloured foliage. The stem is an upright cane that is revealed as the older leaves fall off.

The tank went unmanaged for nearly a month while I helped my parents clean and organize their house, and interesting things happened. I’d put some pothos clipping in to propagate, but they were only hanging onto the rim by their leaves, which died. The stems fell into the tank and I forgot about them, thinking they’d been gobbled up. I found them under a patch of Java moss and subswassertang, having both sprouted.

One of the dracaena (lucky bamboo) had died at the base, but was putting out new roots that I trimmed before realizing it had separated from the pot. I took it out of the tank entirely because a whole new shoot of dracaena is coming up elsewhere around the pot.

Lastly, a little less than a week ago, I put a whole old carrot in the tank, just to see what would happen. The tops grew a little and, again, I forgot about it. Today I thought it look grey and moldy, so I pulled it out. Turned out it had been completely hollowed out and the grey hue was, in fact, a mass of snail in and under it. I wish I’d gotten that first picture. Snails positively poured out of it. This is only a quarter of the original number of snails.

You know what, just call it what it is. (Hoarding!)

This room is at least one of the less concerning spaces and it’s where the vast majority of my tropicals grow. Many of these plants I’ve had for a good 5+ years, and will likely be getting chopped and shared over time (looking at you, ficus!)

Luckily not finding any new plants I want. (Exceptions can be made for select hoya/fern/aloe/agave, though.) I’m definitely enjoying the plants I do have, and so long as they all get good care without driving me nuts it’s okay.

House Plants: Snake Plant

Plants do not grow merely to satisfy ambitions or to fulfill good intentions. They thrive because someone expended effort on them.

Dragons of the Plant World

Happy Lunar New Year of the Wood Dragon! The Lunar New Year is a major cultural event celebrated in Asia and across the world. The year of the wood dragon begins on February 10th 2024 and concludes on January 29th, 2025. The Asian dragon or “Loong” is a noble, benevolent creature unlike the destructive monsters of Western folklore. Let’s meet some plants named after dragons!

A whole genus of monocot trees is named after dragons, namely the genus Dracaena which includes 120 species of trees and succulent shrubs native to Africa, South Asia, Australia, and Central America. The name Dracaena is derived from a Greek word meaning “female dragon”. It is unclear why these trees are named after dragons, but their spiky foliage and scaly trunks may recall the typical traits of western dragons. Additionally, the Socotra Dragon Tree (Dracaena cinnabari) yields a red resin known as “Dragon’s Blood” which was harvested from these trees since ancient times and used in the Mediterranean and the Middle East for dye and medicines. Several Dracaena species including Dracaena marinata are popular houseplants since they require minimal water and can tolerate low light levels in indoor environments.

Dragonfruit is a tropical treat that comes from a cactus. The Dragonfruit cactus is a general name for one of three species in the Selenicereus genus and is commonly known as the Pitahaya or Moonlight Cactus. These night-blooming lanky cacti are epiphytic and lithophytic, meaning they grow on trees and stones instead of rooting directly into the ground. Their hot pink or yellows fruit have dragon-like fleshy scales and an interior that can be either white or red. Although they were originally cultivated in South America, Vietnam is now the main producer of Dragonfruit. The fruit is rich in dietary fibre, vitamin C, betalains, and carotenoids.

Snapdragons (Anthrrhinum genus) have flowers with cute dragon-like snouts that open and close like a mouth when pressed sideways. These perennial flowers add fiery hues like yellow, orange, red, and pink to cottage gardens of Northern Europe and are a favourite of bees. The Snapdragon (A. majus) is a model organism for plant biology research, especially biochemical studies and developmental biology as well as research on plant-pollinator interactions.

I hope the Year of the Wood Dragon brings new growth to you and your plant collection!Features photos from Wikipedia along with my original AI-generated art made with DALL E.
