Africa: How Do Coconuts Get Their Water?: [The Conversation Africa] Coconut trees are iconic plants found across the world's tropical regions. They're called "nature's supermarket" or the "tree of life" in several cultures because every part of the coconut tree is used. Its leaves can be used to thatch homes, its heart can be eaten and its roots have medicinal uses. newsfeed.facilit8.network/TJvB #Coconuts #TropicalPlants #Nature #Sustainability #CoconutWater

One of my current favorite plants. This is an anthurium, rare in the US west coast at least, but pretty common in Guatemala. 💚

I added some fertilizer, fresh soil and coffee grounds. You can see a baby leaf coming out on the second pic and also one of the gorgeous purple flowers!

It's not growing season but this Alocacia Cuprea don't care. Enough light and humidity and they'll thrive. This new leaf just opened during a cold snap, so the new greenhouse is keeping it comfy.

Lots of tropicals are soft to the touch, but this is as solid as it looks. The leaves are very hard, as if they were molded plastic.

They have deep violet undersides, too. The other three leaves on this plant (it will lose one, it needs a bigger pot to do more) are facing the other direction.

Meet this gem: a young Heliamphora heterodoxa x minor 🌱 This hybrid is already showing its signature elegant pitchers.

Watching plants grow is like witnessing a masterpiece in progress—each pitcher designed to thrive in their native environments and captivate the eye. Can’t wait to see it mature into its full glory!
