The shelves!
For whatever reason, the first shelf has something going on with the blue LEDs. They seem really under-powered (the magenta shelf is how it used to look). So it’s more red, but the plants seem to be okay with this so far.
I still haven’t really organized everything yet, but this is the general idea.
The second red picture is the flower(s) on my Sansevieria cylindrica. Nothing remarkable, but it’s cool that it flowered at all!
The
Pilea cadiereialready has roots, and is doing really well!

I have a random question! Maybe someone who has a little bit more experience with growing trees could help. I have a friend who has Excelsa cedars, and they are wondering what the best way to fertilize them would be (they are mulched and in pots). They want them to grow really well, and I honestly don’t know too much about growing trees. I told them manure might be the way to go, but if anyone has any tips at all, that would be great. They want to use them as a hedge eventually once they are big and strong enough!
Thanks!
little late for the answering party but; compost/manure can be a good way to go, though in general slow-release granular fertilizers will do (in spring/summer though, not now or in autumn it’d just cause them stress).
There’s evergreen specialized fertilizers sold but I think in general you could get away with any standard granular fertilizer so long as its a 50-50-50 balance blend imo.
Also if they become rootbound at any point of their development before planting they should have their roots cut/pruned, as all the kinks in the roots will do is slow development/health of well beyond their establishment phase.
Sorry it’s a bit shit, but I got my other plant shelf up (I have to post proper pictures that weren’t taken from a potato), and things are going well so far. Everything is kinda crammed in at the moment, but that’s how we do. Some Christmas cactus blooms for good measure.
I think my Sansevieria cylindrica is going to flower! What the heck! My Christmas cactus also has buds on it. Yay!
CONGRATS ON ALL ZE FLOWERS 😀
Plumeria (also from seed). It’s really taking off this year. I might have to repot it AGAIN! They don’t have a huge root complex, so maybe not. It’s hard to tell. I just want it to do its thing and bloom someday.
So…I got…this thing.
My husband was like “I am bringing you home something that is half functional/half useless, and you will understand why when you see it.”
He was absolutely right.
This is the dumbest thing. But it lights up, so that’s a selling point. You plant something in it, and touch the leaves and it plays music…I mean…I GUESS! Plus, you can throw your own music on it.
Absolutely perplexing. I love these types of gifts lol.
