#PlantMail #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantEnthusiast #HappyPlants The plant mail just arrived. Just thought I’d get a little sunshine before Spring arrives. It took a while to liberate the plant from all of the packaging. But it’s a cute little Meyer Lemon Trees. So we‘ll see if there will be Lemons in my future?? And we all know what to do when we have Lemons 🍋. We make Lemonade 😂🤣😅🤞🤞

#PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantEnthusiast #HappyPlants Hello all, hope everyone’s Saturday is going well. Since I keep missing Fresh Leaf Friday I thought I’d share one of my most successful plants at the moment. In my case it is a Philodendron Black Cardinal. The first pic is from September 2023, the next few are from today.When I got the plant it had three leaves. Now it has 11. I have repotted it once in April this year, and went from the original 3.5” plastic growers pot to a 4.5” glazed ceramic pot. It is relatively easy to care for.

#Bonsai #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #HappyPlants #PlantEnthusiast I keep saying that so and so is going to be the last plant for this year! Well I lied 🤥. This Bonsai Kit somehow arrived at my door today. It included a nice sized Pomegranate pre Bonsai tree, fertilizer, soil, wire, sheers and instructions. My first order got stuck somewhere, it was to have been delivered by November 29, but it has yet to arrive! I then contacted the seller (Etsy) and he responded within a minute, sent out a replacement and it arrived about a half hour ago. Now that’s what I call customer service!!

#PlantMail #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantEnthusiast Well finally the new arrivals just landed in the Oasis and here they are: the Notocactus Militaris, the Mammillaria Matudae, the Rebutia Kreizana, and bringing up the rear is the Tiger Jaw. They all came from the vendor with which I had a bad experience last time. But let me tell you; they outdid themselves this time around. The shipping was super fast I placed the order on the 27th Tuesday and today is Friday and the order is here all the way from El Cajon, CA. They even headed my request to cover the soil to minimize soil loss. Albeit with little success. And I think that the majority of the soil loss stems from the drainage holes, which are too numerous and too large and the dry soil just runs right through! They did a terrific job with the packaging but we have to find a way to try keep more soil in the pot. Over all one cup of soil was lost total, that’s about a quarter cup per plant…..

#NotSoHappyPlants #PlantEnthusiast #PlantsMakePeopleHappy Well, this morning while watering my plants I saw that the Agave Americana that I’ve only had since September 26th 2022 was doing worse than ever. I knew it wasn’t overwatering nor could it have been underwatering! The base of the Agave looked brown-ish almost rotten but another leaf had completely dried up and fallen off. So I was thinking 🤔 some sort of fungus, but the plant wasn’t mushy. Another thing, I almost forgot there was very fine dirt on the bottom of the saucer. I was driving myself nuts. Then before watering I decided to do a very close inspection I took it out of the pot, got rid of all the soil. Then I took some HP and water and gave the roots a thorough wash and put it in a new pot with fresh well draining soil. Now I’m just hoping that I did not react too late. Should have acted when I first saw that dried up leaf, but I wasn’t sure what to do, lesson learned. Oh btw the stuff on the saucer that I thought was dirt was actually worm 🪱 💩. Yes worm poop! There’s the poop and the worm Yikes 😱 Fingers crossed that the Agave recovers 🤞🤞The last picture is of the Agave when I first got it, I want to spare you all the sight of the sick plant it’s too painful!

#HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantEnthusiast #SansevieriAfiscionado OMG 😱 I did it again! Anyone heard of a Sansevieria Hallii Baseball Bat Plant? I was going to wait until October, but looks like that didn’t work so well! I just ordered this Sansevieria Hallii, I must be nuts! But now somebody stop me Pleeeze 🥺 I added the picture just in case anyone is wondering what the plant looks like. It will be a while before it gets here although it’s coming from Florida. Oh well patience!

#planthoarder #HappyPlants #PlantEnthusiast #crazyplantlady I would like to know what makes a plant Hoarder? I have 81 plants in the Oasis, there are about 20 different Sansevierias, 7 different Ficus Trees, 3 Hoya plants, about 7 cacti plus a few various Succulents, some Phildendrons, and a couple of Pothos. But I don’t see any so called hoarding going on! I am I in denial? Down the river without a paddle so to speak?? Oh , by the way I have a plant out on loan to my sister. She has this really huge pot, old Art Nouveau design. We looked at some plants that would look nice in it; and finally decided on the Spider Mandarin plant! For now it’s on loan to her she does not want any more plants for whatever reason, go figure 🤨🧐😏😳😃😄

#plantdecor #HappyPlants #PlantEnthusiast I change the lights in my bathroom to Daylight, and just move the Sansevierias to the cabinets. I just realized I made a lot more work for myself; when they need watering I have to get the Step stool out! Oh well it keeps me busy, off the streets and out of the kitchen 🤔🤫😂😅🤣🥹 Oooops forgot to add the picture

#PlantEnthusiast #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantTherapy I just don’t know how this keeps happening!!?? I was doing well; yesterday evening I even thought I had my buying under control when I put a bunch of plants in the cart ( I’m not going to say on which site I was) suffice it to say that I realized in time that I really didn’t have room for all those large plants! So one by one I emptied the cart. I felt very accomplished. Who am I kidding??? To be continued…. And here I go on. I do have sleepless nights, again last night! With no bad intentions I checked out my email ( never do that when you can’t sleep!!!) Well I did it and low and behold I came across an email from Planterina, Yikes 😱 50% off!! OH Nooooo!! I was done for, I looked at all the lovely pictures, and even without wanting it to happen six little plants ended up in my cart!! But 4 of them are considered “Mini” plant so I should have the room for them! Fingers crossed 🤞
