I've just been winging it

[SummerSun]

Hey all, first post here! I go by SummerSun or Sunny for short. I've been gardening for years - I started in the veggie garden as a kid and moved into entheogens as a teenager. After a long hiatus I'm back into gardening - this time with houseplants. I went through the typical progression starting with easy stuff - pothos, tradescantia, etc.

After about 6 months of sharpening my skills I snagged a macodes petola and a few other more uncommon varieties on the cheap form a local grower -
Lucidia discolor
Lucidia discolor albo
Anoectochilus albolineatus
Anoectochilus chapaensis

I've also been scaling back the lower variegated more common, easier plants for the more variegated, rarer and more expensive stuffs. Alocasia have been hitting the spot lately...but anyway...

My gardening style is to research relentlessly each process of each individual plant species, so that I can understand them and thus improve already known methods to achieve the best results.

So far, macodes information has been eluding me as there really isn't a ton of information on its exact plant care wants and needs... and also being in that semi-epiphytic twilight zone that is the forest leaf litter makes them particularly niche and tough to pin down in terms of exact preferences.

I need more than just the typical parroted 'bright indirect light, 0-100% humidity, water when the top 1" is dry" jargon. So with that said if ya'll could direct me to your resident gurus or advanced cultivation section so that I can dig through old threads [I promise not to necropost ] I'd be really appreciative.=, because up to this point I've been pretty much winging it. haha

Much love
-Sunny
