MY EXPERIENCE, PLANTING SUCCULENT SEEDS: The guide said to soak the seeds for 24 hours then moisten the soil and place the seeds one by one on top of the soil with a toothpick. Well, in 24 hours the seeds had formed a gooey mucus slime around themselves and a toothpick could not separate one seed from the other. So I rigged a syringe so that I could suck up the glob of seeds with some water surrounding them and spewed the ooze onto the top of the soil. Eventually, the seeds at the bottom of the cup could be sucked up without the goo. So I was able eventually to spread the seeds out a little bit although as you can see, I have way too many seeds in each section. I popped the lid on top of the tray and we’ll wait until tomorrow to see what it all looks like . They say that succulent seeds don’t easily germinate so perhaps I don’t have too many seeds in there. Actually, I know I have way too many seeds in there, but tomorrow when things are not quite so gooey maybe I can pull some of them out. If any of you have any experience in this, let me know where I went wrong. I think I really wasn’t supposed to soak the seeds overnight because some instructions say to soak them some instructions they don’t soak them. Well, it’s an experiment after all. #TheWateringHole tags: @MarionsOasis @Just1More @Sassylimey @Ms.Persnickety @TidyTigerpear @DreamMachine @SucculentBE @kaleena @MamaLinne @debbiedo @BonusTaraire85 @Idplantthat @mtplantlady @BabeVila @RefinedSandwort @LaLaslovlies @FitBrowallia @JenniferNoel @CutePolypremum @AC73LoveCats @SweetAzurebluet @IWantThatPlant @ILoveMyPlants @princesspitstop @Jho @Dawgfreak @Luckeecharm1 @MockingJay @HolyLacealoe @stephonicle @Ponytailmom @SunflowerSunset @PrizedShadscale @Popcornjoness @BuffCaperspurge @Preciousplants1 @baobab_zig @GreenPurpose @antsinurplants @LucidAgapanthus @ShadowBoxrBaby @Forbes57 @TRose @CactusAdjacent #succulentLove #sedum #succulents #echeveria #kalanchoe #aloe #crassula #euphorbia #cotyledon #dudleya #Bredasdorp #agave #simpervivum #Salicornia #hatiora #epiphyllum #portulacaria #Austrocylindropuntia #graptopetalum #graptosedum #aizoaceae #aristaloe #lithops #ariocarpus #pachyphytum #curio #gasteria #tephrocactus #faucaria #frangipangi #othonna #Anacampseros #sesuvivum #dracanea #haworthia #stapelia #curio #ceropegia #senecio #aeonium #Zamioculcas

Got to repot some things today & yesterday, whilst repotting my Aloe ā€˜Delta Lights’, I dropped it on its head and broke some leaves 😭.. it was so root bound and stuck in the pot, I quite literally had to fight with it for a about ten minutes to get it out the pot it was in.. šŸ˜’ when I dropped it upside down… the whole rootball (the dirt) fell apart & the dirt got all over the plant & crevices 😟. All in all it was a STRUGGLE to repot it, but I was able to get it done, lesson learned *don’t let it get so rootbound to where it’s almost impossible to get it out of the pot*… (photo 1) I also repotted my Silver Snake Plant today in my other 20 inch teracotta bowl, (the aloe went in the other one). I wanted to use them for an arrangement, but honestly my plants have gotten so big this season to where I don’t even have pots big enough to repot a lot of them right now. 😫 so I just had to use them for one plant, which is fine because honestly those plants both need more space to grow. (Photos 2-3) I put my Graptopetalum ā€˜Superbum’ in the pot that I took my Aloe ā€˜Delta Lights’ out of. It had slowed growth & the dirt just seemed kinda hydrophobic. I’m hoping to see a little growth before I have to bring it in during winter. (Photo 4) Lastly, the Aloe ā€˜Delta Lights’ looks like it’s starting to form a flower stalk.. it’s never bloomed before, I’m hoping me repotting it while it’s actively trying to flower isn’t gonna stunt or affect it. I added some granular fertilizer so hopefully that will help keep it on track.. šŸ¤“ #HappyPlants #GrowingSuccs #NewGrowth #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #Succulent #Aloe #SnakePlant #SnakePlantSquad #SilverSnakePlant #BloomingSuccs #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #OutdoorGrowing #PlantLove #repotting #Graptopetalum
