I figured the size of the plant could be emphasized if I sat on a kid’s chair.

Lots of light? Yes, an unobstructed view of the sky floods this hallway with light.
Lots of sun? Not really. There’s a patch of direct sun that moves across the walls/floors. The parasol helps to diffuse the direct sun so these tropical foliage plants don’t burn or wilt permanently.
-
Think about direct sun separate from the view of the sky and you will begin to understand the daily/seasonal variations of light. Treat them as the same thing, and you’ll be confused.

This is my biggest leaf so far - its green is deepening to be like its peers. 2) Here’s the leaf from last week where I had to extract it from the sheath: it’s the smallest leaf I’ve seen that features midrib holes. I’m keen to see whether the leaf will grow much larger or whether having been stuck in the sheath early on will stunt its growth

Plant: this is Pothos ‘Marble Queen’

Trellis: the tall black trellis on the left is from @trellisworksllc

Wall Planter Care Strategy: I got these wall planters in Hong Kong but some garden centers should have similar ones. Click the link in my profile to read my care strategy for these wall-mounted plants.
-
Light Source: my skylight (a window on the roof) provides ideal light for tropical foliage plants AND for photography - a natural softbox!

#monsteramonday - getting some fresh air.

2) I noticed the tip of a developing leaf was unable to break through its sheath. I think it would have eventually ripped through but probably not without resulting in significant deformation so I helped it along. Has this ever happened to you?

As walked out of my bathroom, the warm glow of the morning sun (coming through the bathroom skylight) struck the usually darker side of my repurposed retort stand planter - just had to gram that!
-
I’d also like to introduce my new mini peace lily. Is this a new thing in Spath cultivation or has this been around for a while?

An hour or two of direct sun on this staghorn fern is acceptable but then the plant would reach critical dryness faster, meaning that I would have to water sooner (and yes, I have to take the whole plant down, run it in the shower, wait for it to stop dripping, and then carefully lift it back onto the hook).
-
Light modifier: a white sheer curtain to diffuse direct sun. It’s a great way to lessen the heat stress on your plants that prefer “bright indirect light” (no need to do this for cacti).
-
2) In a nursery growing tropical foliage plants, shade cloth is used for the same purpose.
-
Staghorn fern watering strategy: given adequate lighting, I just feel the sphagnum moss. When it reaches the point of feeling dry but still soft, then I can water sometime within the week. If I wait longer, the moss becomes hard: that’s the WATER IMMEDIATELY signal.

Marimo ball owners: have you ever noticed your ball sometimes afloat and other times not?
-
1) ball is resting at the bottom right now (8:30am).
2) ball was floating last night around midnight.
-
What could cause this change in buoyancy? Is it metabolic activity differences between night and day? I haven’t touched or disturbed the water in the past 2 weeks and I’m certain I’ve noticed it both floating and sinking. One thing is for sure: this calls for a time lapse! ⌚ = observe-for-long-time-with-camera
