I’ve told a few people it’s like collecting real life Pokémon 😂 The whole process is really fun & rewarding for me.
I hear you! I’d like to move out of state at some point & that is one problem that’d weigh a bunch on me.
Goodness, with the Moonstones I recently caught on that I didn’t research what kind of climate it originated from! Happened to me a few times..
Acclimated them to the sun, had em’ out there for months and realized there was absolutely no growth whatsoever since I first got them.
I threw them inside about a month ago and it’s been blowing up so much! If I left them out I think they’d pretty much be dormant the whole year 😂
I get a pretty great amount of light year round, I live in Florida, US. I personally hate the heat and blazing sun, but love that these get to take advantage of it!
I’ve been taking care of them for about a year now, last winter I moved them all in during the few nights we had temperatures under 35°F and would move them right back out during the day! Thankfully they’ve all handled it pretty well.
I do have a grow light for a Pink Moonstone I have & the little cuttings I try to grow & return outside!
Thank you for easing my concern a bit about getting my last batch 😂
Love these, my favorites are the tall one in the tan pot and the one on the bottom right! Does it have a distinct smell?
Added a few new ones to the squad 😅 Will be relaxing a bit after having gotten these, feeling really happy with the diversity of what I have right now.
Some close ups:
Lizard Tax:
These are… awesome 😮
Love catching them hanging around the plants, I need to be more prepared with my camera early in the morning!
No need to apologize! I can relate a bit, I’m often extremely forgetful!
Side note: Didn’t want to make a new post so soon, but I was excited to share this with someone. Check this out, managed to take this early today!
Yep yep, I like the plain ones a lot! Most of mine are in them, and every now and then I’ve been gifted some ceramic stuff, those I drill holes through!
I think we spoke about the crushed glass before, haven’t we? If not, yes! Been using them to dress up the top of some of the plants.
The ones I used yesterday are a lil’ too small for my liking, thinking about taking them out. I do like the color of them though, nervous about them getting on the floor and in my foot 😬
Forbidden broccoli 🥦 These are so cool! Are those offshoots growing off at the ends up top?!
Awwww yeahhh! They really blew up ☀️ Will be putting them in their new pots today. Really excited for the red to come back in!
January of this year:
No! That was extremely helpful, much appreciated!
Was getting a lil’ too top heavy for my liking, so I decided it was about time.
Got it like this last year! Was one of my first plants. Love how much it’s grown.
One of my Little Jewels! Pachyphytum compactum
Been trying to not scare these off to get some pictures for a while now! Was so happy with this one.
There’s something about this one that I love so much. It’s a Haworthia kegani X cooperi var. venusta!
Struggled with my Tokyo Sun from the beginning, was one of my first plants & I learned so much since then. The time period between the first and last photos are about 8 months!
Yes! I think they stole the show for me with this bunch. Really excited to spend some time to take pictures soon, especially of the Submammillaris!
