hi how the fuck do you take care of a succulent plant and a kalanchoe plant im a single mother of two gorgeous plant babies
Succulent: Marcus (bottom) Kalanchoe: Pin (top)
Their care is about the same; have them in the sunniest window you got, occasionally rotate them to keep even growth (as they’ll lean to wherever the sun goes), water when planter is fully dry and drain out/away any excess water leftover from each watering. Other than that just be ready to deadhead the Kalanchae once flowers are spent.
In case you haven’t gotten the picture… there’s a LOT of goldeneye out. Vastly more goldeneye than any other flowers right now, and it’s nearly waist-high too. This stuff is hugely important in keeping migrating butterflies going as they pass through this region; as much as we focus on milkweeds, it’s important to remember that no monarch would ever get to Mexico without a diverse variety of fall-blooming wildflowers on the way.
Plant update! The top half of the black tree is growing new leaves as well as the bottom half. I propagated the avagoides, kiwi, and an old jade plant of mine. The sedum needs more sunlight but there’s nothing I can really do. We’re in the middle of a noreaster here.
Does anyone know what kind of plant this is? I got it from the grocery store and they never really tell you the actual species.
The photo quality makes it hard to pin… maybe a type of succulent?? Though, that doesn’t really narrow down the list of possibilities as to what it could be…
My Sedum planter is looking pretty awesome right now.
Well at least I found out why something felt different with the Pro-mix potting soil I’ve been using; The soil bales I had been originally using in the greenhouse + house were General Purpose BX mix, but the last bales I’ve been using are High Porosity
HP mix
(as in, extra moisture holding). Um… woops?
We’ll see how that changes things for the majority of this years’ repotted nursery plants when it comes to winter survival (they definitely did well in regards to summer care at least… explains why I didn’t have to water them all every day)…. as for the houseplants (as in- the majority of the cacti/succulent collection that got repotted this autumn) I’ll need to hope that they continue to thrive as they have been despite the bad choice of soil mix. I am very lucky most of those are now in clay pots rather than plastic or there’d be far more panic about the damages from the mess up of soil mix choices; thank the lord for the moisture/air breathability of clay. If they had been kept in plastic I could’ve kissed those healthy roots goodbye.
Les plantes araignées sont excellentes pour les gens qui n’ont pas d’expérience pour s’occuper des plantes. Elles n’ont pas besoin de beaucoup de soleil ce qui fait d’elle une plante parfaite dans un sous-sol, une chambre ou une salle de bain.
Elle est idéale pour filtrer l’air au niveau oxygène qu’au niveau énergétique.
I’m so proud of my baby Saguaro! I got him a few weeks ago and he’s thriving! Fun fact: in my state of Arizona you can get up to 8 months in prison for vandalizing/killing a Saguaro. I think it’s great! This little dude will definitely outlive me— it takes over a hundred years for them to mature!
Meet my year old mama cactus and her pups! I don’t know what type she is, but I bought her at Home Depot. Does anyone have any ideas for the identity of this mysterious beauty?
Sadly cacti aren’t my strongsuit (I have some mutuals though who may know for certainty its identity), but my guess due to the shape growth form of the mature main plant that it may be a species of Echinopsis?
