Good morning #TheWateringHole planty crew (I’ve still got 15 min of morning 😁) #brunchataudreys It is Friday πŸ₯Ά and this will be just a quick one to get things started because oh la la! I have 24 + 10 more garage plants that need attending. It was hard to get out of bed this morning, it’s in the 30’s today and I had warm snuggling kitties πŸˆβ€β¬› πŸˆβ€β¬› on me in addition to my heated blanket, but then I remembered that I had left the kitchen window open a crack AND I had left some plants nearby. So I πŸͺŸ πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈ πŸ’¨

Then I remembered that my unheated garage is where I have my quarantine zone πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ πŸ₯Ά One begonia and one Hoya are showing a bit of distress, but I took all the plants out of the garage at least.

How are you all doing today? I’m sending a special shout out to @princesspitstop Hope your move goes smoothly!! Can’t wait to hear all about it! 🌈 πŸͺ΄ 🫢🏼

All of your plants always make me drool! Especially the calatheas! My apartment is too dry for them, but I love looking at yours!
#brunchataudreys #TheWateringHole @DreamMachine Good Afternoon and Happy Friday! 🌞 I am loving your Plant Oasis! Beautiful variegation on the Calatheas!! πŸ₯° Glad you remembered your plant babies, and there you were ti the rescue! ⛑️ A cloudy πŸŒ₯️ 50β€’ degrees here in NM, also a photo of my Alocasia Regal Shield πŸ›‘οΈ aka β€œWillow”! She has lost πŸƒπŸƒπŸƒπŸƒπŸƒπŸƒ and regain them back, by me replanting her croms and using the ziplock method. She has grown tremendously, πŸ‘€ at those roots. This is the end result of my β€œWillow”! πŸ™Œ Isn’t she a beauty!! πŸ₯° Everyone have a great Friday and weekend on purpose! πŸ˜‰
@BabeVila Thank you SO much ☺️ I don’t know what it means, and there’s probably some lesson to be learned, in that the hard ones are easy and the easy ones are hard for me but πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ I’ll take it πŸ˜‚ (I don’t actually subscribe to the view that there are β€˜hard’ and β€˜easy’ plants though, haha, it’s all relative)
@SweetAzurebluet Thank you so much dear Harriet πŸ’• And would you look at your Willow!! Standing proudly again! πŸ’ͺ🏼What do you do in the ziplock method? Is the bag used like a humidity dome over a pot? Or do you put the corms in and seal the bag? I’m an alocasia novice, and soaking up all the information I can 😁 🫢🏼 🌿
@DreamMachine Yes, I removed the corms from the previous planter, plant them with soil into another pot, add a lil water, then place a ziplock bag top open just a little that act as a humidity dome. I also add WTW fertilizer also. I place it by a south facing window. She grows leaves beautifully, after a while, I had to figure out how to acclimate her without the high humidity. She lost 2 leaves, but look at how she has bounced back!
@DreamMachine Just wanted to pop in and say HAPPY FRIDAY!! 😁 Today is moving day and I'm taking a quick break then back to it!! πŸŽ‰ It's a chilly 73Β° here in San Antonio today and misting. Of course it would be πŸ˜‚ Have a great day everyone! πŸ’•
@princesspitstop oh my goodness that is too funny πŸ˜‚ 🌧️ Of course it’s sprinkling on you today!! But still YAY!! Good luck with everything!!!
@princesspitstop and look at all those BUDS πŸ€―πŸ€©πŸ’•
@DreamMachine I know right haha it hasn't rained here in a month LMAO aren't they crazy?? I can't wait for them to open!!
@BabeVila I agree with Nadia @DreamMachine we have very similar taste in plants, my calatheas get almost no humidity my apartment sits at around mid 20's to 30 humidity rarely get dry leaves they just keep getting bigger.
@SilkyRoses oh yay hi Christina! Agreed! Lots of the things that people think are humidity issues often turn out to be something else entirely. Plants are pretty great at adapting to so many different environments. And yours, by the way way, look BEAUTIFUL 🀩 Wowwww!!
@SweetAzurebluet Thank you much Harriet! That is some helpful info that I screenshotted for later ☺️ One more thing if you don’t mind, what is WTW fertilizer? I looked it up but I don’t think any of the results were right.
@DreamMachine @princesspitstop that’s right! It’s Heidi’s new day moving day! Ooohhh!!! How is the new place? You’ve got hot water again, and bigger space? Are you and the hubbie loving πŸ₯° it?? What do the boys think of it? I bet they’ll be happy since you will be happier!
@princesspitstop those buds are getting bigger! Yours appear to be a little ahead of mine.
@princesspitstop Congratulations on your new place! Happy moving! πŸ™ŒπŸ₯°
@DreamMachine Sorry, it’s We The Wild fertilizer
@Idplantthat @RefinedSandwort @SweetAzurebluet Hi guys! We got the keys last night when my husband got home. I'm currently waiting for the spectrum guy to come hook up the WiFi. Things are moving right along. Trying to get most if not everything moved this weekend. Thanks for all of the well wishes! I counted the buds on my Thanksgiving Cactus and there are over 50!! Can you believe it??? I've got to get back at it. Have a great weekend guys! πŸ˜πŸ’•
@princesspitstop Good Afternoon! 🌞 glad everything is going smoothly for your family. Yes, we definitely need that cable hooked up. Moving before the holidays, and having/ spending your time in a new place is awesome! Have a great Saturday and weekend on purpose with purpose! πŸ₯° Congratulations! πŸ‘πŸΎ on the new buds on your Thanksgiving Cactus! πŸ™ŒπŸ€©
@princesspitstop Happy moving day Heidi!
@princesspitstop Good luck, πŸ€ Heidi! What hashes, over fifty buds that’s absolutely insane, and it’ll be amazing 😻 I absolutely cannot wait to see it!! @DreamMachine Is that last photo a nerve plant?? Or something different?? πŸ€©πŸ€“
@Idplantthat whoopsies i somehow missed your comment, my apologies! I can see why you’d think β€œnerve plant,” is has similar colorings right? But it’s a zebra plant aphellandra squarrosa (I might have butchered that spelling) 😁 I had originally brought home one from work to rehab (it had been potted with no drainage, dear, dear 😬) but unfortunately that one didn’t make it 😭 and I didn’t catch the rot early enough before it made it up the stem. But I loved it so much I kept my eyes open and found this one at a nearby nursery this past summer πŸ™ŒπŸΌ
@DreamMachine it’s beautiful! 😻 I hate when the root rot gets those ones you absolutely love. πŸ’• And I swear it seemingly happens to the ones you really like. 🀣
