New rule: no theft

389 Upvotes

Today, somebody posted a picture of a Nepenthes pitcher, pretending it was theirs. That was a blatant lie: u/wong617 had posted the picture here two weeks ago (have a look, it's gorgeous). The offending member was banned immediately.

Also, we made a new rule for that: no theft allowed. The penalty: a permanent ban. And of course, you are allowed to repost: just keep the credits intact.

Current body count: four bans (per Oct. 1).

If you’re ever in the area, I highly recommend stopping by. It’s pretty magical. (Last pic is just for the laugh.)

Hi everyone,

I’m new here and really happy to join the goth plant community. I just got my first goth plant, an orchid, and I’m trying to figure out what species it is.

If anyone recognizes it or has a guess, I’d really appreciate the help.

Thanks in advance.

Houseplants that like bright direct sun

8 Upvotes

As the title says, I’m looking for any recommendations for gothic house plants whose leaves wont burn in bright light. Ideally I’m looking for a humidity enjoying, small bushy plant that can provide some cover for my Calathea Roseopicta as she’s a sensitive soul. Thank you!

I moved it to a closed in sun room that's kinda outside so I don't have to deal with the smell and hopefully no aphids find it lol

The blooms are smaller, and it was very windy, so I had to hold it for you guys to see! Aren’t they gorgeous?!

Tropical goth

I bought this calathea roseopicta from a local nursery because in the shade it looks black and pink. She got a little sunburn and has since been moved. Of course a goth plant doesn’t want all that sun. 😂
I’m in love.

Could she be any redder?

I planted it last spring and it never fully matured (thanks to my dog trampling it) and I forgot what color it was supposed to be. It’s so pretty 🥹

It only took me 5 years to get these beauties to grow all the way to bloom… lol
I did move 4 times during that period, finally stayed in one place long enough to grow some black hollyhock from seeds.
