Harry, I think you mean Ficus.

Wow, this is doing well. Nice pictures everyone. L. calodictyon is definitely one of my favorites.

Here's a little begonia from Lita Ecuador. It might be B. maurandiae or
B. secunda. If not, I'm sure it is related to those. The "big" leaves in the photo are a little over an inch. Combined with the growing habit and crystalline texture, it is one of my favorite begonias.

it can be temperamental, but once you get it established it takes care of itself. You should try again. . I've had it for over a decade now and I don't pay much attention to it's needs. I just enjoy it.

I don't think it will be possible to really appreciate this plant by looking at a photo, but here's one anyway. :lol: This is Algaonema picta Tricolor. All the leaves come out with varying degrees of blacklish green, silver/grey, bright green and chatreuse. I know that's four colors...lol. In the terrarium, it looks like a small colorful Dieffenbachia.

It was a little slow-growing at first but once it settled in, it started to do great.
