My partner let me pick out some new babies from MCG and he paid for them for our anniversary! We are on the struggle bus πŸ’Έ right now so I think it’s pretty awesome, plus look at the cool plants I scored ! A variegated ghost plant that looks like a pastel neon princess, two variegated cacti, ice plant which I’ve been coveting since I saw @vvvelo’s, a sweetheart Hoya and an Echeveria Dionysos. If I can keep the humidity in this place low enough, they are going to be ✨Gorgeous✨ I haven’t had time to pot anything yet but I’m hoping to get to it tomorrow. He also got me baby toes and a crassula moonglow πŸ’–πŸ₯³πŸͺ΄πŸ’• #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantsAreTheBestGift #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #GhostPlant #Hoya #Echeveria #IcePlant #CactusClique #Cactus #Cacti #variegatedplants #variegationappreciation #PlantAddict #PlantHaul

@BabeVila That’s a nice anniversary gift! You’ve got some great selections. I haven’t tried any cacti yet, but I am being tempted. I live in South where it’s hot and humid in the Summer. I lost several last Summer d/t overwatering/root rot. I found that my pots don’t dry out as quickly as they do in winter when we’re running electric heat. I have been getting more of my succulents in to terracotta pots. Even with terracotta pots I have to be careful with watering. I stick the bamboo skewers in and leave them a minute or two. If that stick doesn’t have any dirt stuck to it but it feels even the slightest bit damp, I am holding off on watering. I have some succulents that according to the app haven’t been watered in over 2 months. I am trying to learn to be patient with watering!! Good luck with all those gorgeous new plants!
@BabeVila - WOW, that was PRETTY FREAKING AWWWWHHSOME!

You have a VERY SPECIAL PARTNER! And such a BEAUTIFUL haul 🀩

I also got an ice plant and an echeveria dionysos! The ice plant is starting to stretch a bit so I guess I’ll be moving it!
And the baby toes is high up there on the wishlistπŸ˜†πŸ₯°
So sweet! They are beautiful πŸ’•
@TheConservator oops! I could have worded that betterβ€”we’re struggling financially, but relationship-wise, we’re pretty darn good 😊 Sorry to be confusing lol
@RefinedSandwort That is really smart to leave the skewer for a minute! I actually lost a few succulents lately too from the humidity in our new apartment. We aren’t used to itβ€”got spoiled with central air before. So I’m having to adjust my plant care big time. I always use a moisture meter, but I’m going to start letting it sit for a little longer. I’m having a lot of trouble with fungal spores too. 😭 Im keeping Captain Jack in business. 🀣We got a window ac so that should cut down on the humidity!
@JenniferNoel ooh we always like the same things, I’ve noticed! Lol! We have great taste πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‡
Love those cactus!!!!
Congratulations on your anniversary and your new buddies are absolutely gorgeous! πŸ₯°πŸͺ΄πŸŒ΅
