So is this actually Caapi sprouting or some kind of moss ?

[HeartCore]

hey all,

I got some living pieces of Caapi a few weeks ago and I decided to put them into a rich potting soil in a hot and humid environment. Low and behold, since yesterday growth is visible on one of them. Picture below.

What do you guys think, I'm not an expert but does this look like some rain forest moss? It's stuck to the Caapi branch and it looks like its growing out of it and not on it.

its not moss - moss looks like a green fungus at its earliest stages.

 

[Mr.Smith]

could be an epiphyte, maybe an epiphytic cactus

Cacti sprouting on a rainforest vine? Could be, I won't argue with it

Anyway, here's some updated pic. Also the second vine started to sprout as well.

I am so building a greenhouse when possible.

that second one's sprouts look like my caapi seedlings so thats caapi, the first one doesn't really looks like caapi to me but plants sometimes surprise us and decide to grow in strange way's

Turns out to be NOT some jungle cactus after all

the first one doesn't really looks like caapi to me but plants sometimes surprise us and decide to grow in strange way's

Indeed

Btw notice the new roots going down kind of abandoning the sinking ship.

The roots are typical for epiphytes, as they are not parasites. Some epiphytes are called "strangling epiphytes" because of all the roots, but they don't harm the "host".

Maybe there are epiphytes and caapi growing in that spot

damn thats some nice new growth

 

[HeartCore]

damn thats some nice new growth

I second that

They are looking amazingly healthy as well and seem to be ready to living room conditions

 

[HeartCore]

Well I think there cannot be any debate anymore as of what this new growth is, it's definitaly Caapi, and a lot of it

I have started to supply fertilizer a few days ago and although a lot of leafes are still too light, it's already better than a couple of days ago.
