Im totally losing it guys!!! Between paxking, moving & sitting w/my grandschildren, i havent had time to get my new larger plants stand built so all plants r here at new house now and were on covered porch. I moved who i thought should have more direcr light to southerly side in afternoon and come watering time, i noticed many who i “thought“ were so versatile were beginning to get sunburned so immediately (w/the help of my precioys 3 yr old grandson) moved them all out of direct light . Once we were done watering, i let him spray them in the shade like a sprinkle would be of rain. Please tell me that one afternoon isnt enough stress to hurt them!!! Ive dealt w/thrips, frozen shipped plants & just poorly established plabts and havent lost a one but if i did any harm in one day of mid70’s Spring weather in Pgh., i will just never be the same cause i gotta tell ya, i surely didnt see this coming!!! If someone can give me some assurance that i have not committed platacide, i may be able to sleep ronight but going forward theyre all only getring the morning sun and pothos, philos (incl all Monsteras) r staying just out of sun until i can get this plant stand finally put together!! Sorry for all the typos but no glasses and sun-blind so pls tell me this has happened to some other unfortunate soul & it all turned out ok. Its hard to believe theres another simpleton like me put there but for the sake of my plants i sure hope there is!! My BofP & Yucca r only ones who seem totally unphased. Ill be awaiting my penance and atonement for totally turning odf brain during this move!!!!

Good morning planty people of #TheWateringHole ✨🌿🫶 It is Monday, and I’m busy hurrying around watering everyone outside, as it’s lovely and 60° right now, but we’re supposed to get up to 85°, and if you know me, that is hot, hot, HOT 🥵 I am hoping to get back into the swing of regular posting, but I just had a very couple busy weeks, with picking up a regular shift at work, a trip to the coast 🌊 , and we’re getting into the last couple weeks of school for my kiddo. 🏃🏼‍♀️🍎⏰ But BIG NEWS!! We are on #pedunclewatch !!! 😱🥳🤩 Since I got into hoyas last summer, I’ve only had the start and subsequent blasting of a couple peduncles on one hoya, my crassipetiolata, but it was just the beginning of winter, and he got too cold and gave up on them. 🥶😔 Who’s the contender this time? My sweet Hoya ‘Bella,’ whom I got only last month, as a cutting in perlite, from my hoya lady on FB marketplace!! Bella is STILL in that cup of perlite, I didn’t get a chance to pot her up yet, and she has 3, count em’ THREE pedunkadunks starting 😱😮‍💨🤯🤩 As my photos will be peduncles, I’ll add my bountiful morning’s strawberry 🍓 harvest photo in the comments, along with my Mother’s Day snapdragon bloom, and my dahlias (not in bloom yet). How’s everyone’s Monday? Any blooms or new growth that you’re excited about? Any struggling? This is my Saturday, but if it’s your actual Monday, I wish you a very good and planty week 😘🌿✨ ⏱️Want to be notified of these posts when they come out?
