Alocasia Silver Dragon
I am in love with the texture of these leaves! I even have a bit of variegation on the one!
Note: Sport (unstable) variegation is somewhat common on alocasias. If you’re buying a variegated alocasia ensure that the majority of the leaves have variegation.

Not too bad for a neglected plant. This Philodendron Majestic (Sodiroi x Verrucosum) needs a moss pole so bad but I’m too lazy to make one and to repot 😬
I imported this from Indonesia way back in August of 2022. The whole order was basically dead so I just chopped the individual nodes and dumped it all in a propagation box with moss as a medium. Between the building the house, moving, seasonal depression, among other things, I neglected the box. I did not check it for over half a year.
April came along and I finally took care of the box and to my surprise, every single type of plant that I originally ordered sprouted. Yay! I repoted them but as the weather got warmer, I focused 100% of my time on my outdoor garden. It seems like these tropical plants loves being neglected. I have the Atlantic coast high humidity to thank.

Anyone know what vine this is? It was growing on the trunk of a cacao tree in a South Florida botanical garden and wasn’t tagged. Because it was next to the cacao pods I was quite confused at first.
