Itโ€™s FriYay ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ‘ at #TheWateringHole ๐ŸŒป๐Ÿชด๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸŒพ!! Come on in! Share whatโ€™s happening with you & your oasis?? ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿชป๐Ÿชด๐Ÿ๏ธ
๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ 29 plants here ๐Ÿก need a little look ๐Ÿ‘€ see today๐Ÿซฃ - 19 left over from Wednesday so must get caught up. But Iโ€™ve been distracted with Day Lilies ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŽ‰. Introducing my newbies! Got inspired here by someone who has fields of tulips ๐ŸŒท ๐ŸŒท ๐ŸŒท ๐ŸŒท and other bulbsโ€ฆ canโ€™t remember who it is ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ โ€ฆ maybe @Ponytailmom or @Idplantthat โ€ฆ plus @DreamMachine Nadia, Iโ€™m pretty sure weโ€™ve talked about day lilies too ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ™Œ. Got tempted by these barerooted bebes ๐Ÿ‘ถ when purchasing a new orchid grow light from rePotme. I know I didnโ€™t do it it *by the book*๐Ÿ“• but sometimes I have to just throw myself into something! Caution to the wind ๐Ÿ’จ lol. This is how Iโ€™m rolling! I donโ€™t want to watch a kabillion videos Iโ€™m just goinโ€™ in hot! ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜น๐Ÿซ  Many succulents were in this garden. I kept the flap jacks, portulacaria elephant bush and some of the aeonium. What was underneath was very sandy and compacted so I amended with planting mix, stuck them in the ground, gave them a big drink & said goodnight ๐ŸŒ™๐Ÿ˜ด. This morning theyโ€™re already perkier!! So are you the type that has to go by the book & research before starting ๐Ÿ“• ๐Ÿ”ฌ or do you just have to wing it ๐Ÿชฝ and do what the moment feels like/hope you made a good decision type?? I can fluctuate between the two ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜† #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #NewGrowth #lillies #PlantCorner #OutdoorGrowing #SucculentLove #FloweringPlants
Good morning! Iโ€™m trying to get all my plant chores done for the weekend as Iโ€™m heading to phoenix this afternoon to see my daughter! Weโ€™re going to the desert botanical gardens again ๐ŸŒต but this time at night to see them all lit up! ๐Ÿ’ก
I hit an incredible marketplace seller who was offloading a bunch of plants and came home with some wishlist plants ๐Ÿชด this week , plus some extras she threw in for free! Florida philodendron, hoya polyneura, and a variegated polyneura cutting are my favorites!
I also had the guts to finally repot my new silver stripe and I think she looks glorious ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿชด
An early good afternoon dear plantie pals!

Everyone's plants and flowers ๐Ÿ’ ๐Ÿ˜ look gorgeous!

I usually only wing it will all of our plants ๐Ÿชด. I basically have what's considered "normal", I guess. No exotic ones...except to me! Lol โค๏ธ ๐Ÿ˜†
No cacti, succulents, orchids, or CP.

So, I wing it and have never done any research on any plant! Except the zillion answers I've received from my questions for our amazing Community.

Wonder Soil, Neem spray, distilled water, and Super Thrive Foliage Pro are everything I need and use.
The hydrogen peroxide comes in as a last resort if I can't get rid of fungus gnats...ugh.

My Tribe consists of 1 of each: English Ivy, Golden Pathos, Croton, Pepemonia, Silver Dragon ๐Ÿ‰, Baby Rubber Plant, Rattlesnake plant, Christmas ๐ŸŽ„ Cactus, Erect Sword Fern, False Aralia, Lucky Bamboo, Peace Lily, Kentia Palm, and Rose ๐ŸŒน Philodendron.

We just repotted Mr. False Aralia. He seems to be enjoying ๐Ÿ˜‰ his new digs, as noted in the photos.
I did remove him from being directly under a grow lamp to indirect light because of space issues.
Fingers crossed ๐Ÿคž he'll like it!

Hope ya'll have a great weekend!
@MamaLinne

What an elegant Silver Stripe! ๐Ÿ˜

You are twice blessed!

Amazing new plants, you get to visit your daughter, night time botanical gardens, plant chores all done...

I think that's many blessed, not twice! Lol ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿค—
@CutePolypremum ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•it feels that way! ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•
@MariansOasis @MamaLinne @CutePolypremum Good morning ladies! I am a chaotic mix of both research and winging it ๐Ÿ˜‚ With no rhyme or reason which one itโ€™s going to be. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ Oh I think it might have been @Lynsplants that has the field of beautiful bulbs!

Itโ€™s looking to be another beautiful day here, just slightly cloudy, and I am potting up some dahlias and quite possibly going to start more seeds too. I got most of my strawberries planted in my new old terracotta strawberry pot (a hand me down from hubsโ€™ boss).

A callistophylla strangely followed me home yesterday!! I have no idea where he came from, but I couldnโ€™t possibly turn him away now could I?!

My daughter and I started a lions mane spray and go mushroom kit yesterday.

Iโ€™m just going to be bouncing around today, hoping to keep things plant related only, before I go in to my work weekend tomorrow โ˜บ๏ธ Hope you all have a lovely Friday!
#TheWateringHole @MariansOasis Good Morning, ๐ŸŒž everyone and Happy Friday! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ˜‰ Photos of my Ficus Ruby slowly, unveiling its new ๐Ÿƒ! I love the beautiful and vibrant colors, it displays! Everyone have a great Friday and weekend on purpose! ๐Ÿ˜‰
@MariansOasis

Hi dear Marian!

Ohhhhhh.... How absolutely gorgeous those deep pink-colored tips are.
And, how wonderful it must feel to be able to work outside in Nature!

Thanks for sharing so much with us today.

I love that you love using a lot of emojis!

I'm on my tablet. It has a limited amount of those little critters but I'll post the best that I can dig up. (Pun intended). ๐Ÿ˜†

@CutePolypremum good morning dear Joanie โ˜€๏ธ Mr False Aralia is looking *quite* dapper today โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿคฉ
@MariansOasis I do YouTube videos, on the plants I have! But, then again, I just donโ€™t have the patience. I have plants, that donโ€™t require sophisticated or complex needs! I want to enjoy my plants, not have to be a scientist to figure them out! ๐Ÿ˜‰๏ฟผ
@DreamMachine

Hey my cutie patootie dear Nadia!

Wowzers! You (and your daughter) are creating some amazing living plants.

So many projects and they all sound dreamy...especially when those warm, fragrant, incredibly fresh and delicious strawberries are harvested.

Yes...it's funny what follows us home, isn't it?

For example, the callistophylla...
Rumor has it that he was lying in wait, for the right person he wanted to come home with. It was worth the 2 hours hoping and praying she'd show up.

Aha!!!!!
"Here she comes....I'll just quietly follow her until she notices what a handsome dude I am. She won't be able to resist!"

"Oh!!!! My word!!!! She really likes me. I found my forever home...YAY" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜
@SweetAzurebluet

Hello dear Harriet!

I always look for your posts and am delighted when they appear.

What an absolute miracle your Ficus Ruby is.
She loves you and is unfurling those gorgeous leaves to show you how much! ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ˜
@SweetAzurebluet

Hi again Harriet...

We are so much alike!

My brain never did like science very much or doing a lot of research. But, I highly admire folks who have the patience and curiousity to do so...
@MariansOasis I am a โ€œwing it, unless they donโ€™t look like they are going to make it and I panic research to see if I can save themโ€
๐Ÿคฃ
@CutePolypremum itโ€™s almost eerie that you can see the scene ๐ŸŽฌ with my callistophylla perfectly! Almost like you were there yourself ๐Ÿ˜‰

Iโ€™m so excited for strawberries. I was just going through pictures of my garden a couple years ago, here I am making a funny face, and you can just make out my strawberry bed at the bottom edge of the picture. It was 9โ€™ X 3โ€™ of only strawberries ๐Ÿ“ ๐Ÿ˜ณ This year is very much downsized but I still hope itโ€™s fruitful, pun most definitely intended! Iโ€™m having to let my beds rest this season so containers it is!
@SweetAzurebluet good morning Harriet! Wowww your ficus is so incredibly beautiful ๐Ÿคฉ I hope you have a lovely Friday and weekend ๐Ÿซถโ™ฅ๏ธ
@CutePolypremum I absolutely agree with you, no pun intended to those who do, Just in my case, Iโ€™ll pass! ๐Ÿ˜‰๏ฟผ
@DreamMachine Thsnks much, my dear! Enjoy your weekend as well! ๐Ÿ˜‰
@DreamMachine You are definitely in your element! Love the hat and the Sunflower ๐ŸŒป dress! I love the gorgeous pink and white flowers. I love strawberries ๐Ÿ“, I know yours will be juicy and sweet, definitely not like the grocery stores! ๐Ÿ˜ฉ
@CutePolypremum Thanks much, my dear! I adore my Ficus Ruby, as I do my Ficus Burgundy, who is also being well! ๐Ÿ˜‰
@CutePolypremum When you said, we have a lot in common, you were right! ๐Ÿ‘Your detailed beautiful Plant Oasis, are all the plants I would definitely buy. I have a Croton Petra, which is my pride and joy! ๐Ÿ™Œ
@IWantThatPlant lol isnโ€™t that the truth! What do you mean doing whatever Iโ€™ve been doing is bad?? ๐Ÿ˜ It was fine for a while (mad scramble to see where I went wrong) ๐Ÿ˜‘ ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ”ฌ ๐Ÿ“•
@MamaLinne back to the botanical gardens again! Thatโ€™ll be a fun time with your daughter!โ˜บ๏ธ I bet itโ€™ll be spectacular at night and April temperatures should be good at night. Oo la la that variegated polyneura ๐Ÿคฉ!!!
@CutePolypremum oooh Mr. False Aralia is so handsome!!! ๐Ÿ’“
@DreamMachine haha why am I not surprised by your mix of both approach ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿซ . But cha know what? It works! And whatever it takes to keep it fun ๐Ÿฅณ. Love the dahlias and the hand me down strawberry ๐Ÿ“ pot. Those things are expensive!
Those Hoyas, you gotta keep an eye on them! Always trying to elbow their way in ๐Ÿก what with their showy leaves and flowers.
I donโ€™t know anything about spray & go mushrooms ๐Ÿ˜ฎ. Spread and spore! New thing to Google ๐Ÿ”Ž๐Ÿ‘“
@SweetAzurebluet ficus ruby is stunning as always!!๐Ÿซ .
Yes many of my friends just want to know what their plants are called, not all the science behind it ๐Ÿคซ. I enjoy digging in to learn more but then often I canโ€™t remember it all and have to look it up again! ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ˜œ
Have a wonderful weekend!
@CutePolypremum hi Joanie! Yes it is wonderful to get outside and dig in the garden ๐Ÿช ๐Ÿชด โ˜€๏ธ lol note the emojis ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ. Sometimes Greg wonโ€™t let me post something so Iโ€™ve discovered if I remove emojis, then itโ€™ll post. Some platforms limit the # of emojis you can use โ€ฆ.interesting ๐Ÿง
@DreamMachine

Forget those luscious strawberries ๐Ÿ“ in the amazing pot.

Forget those lovely flowers ๐Ÿ’ growing so lavishly.

Who's that gorgeous babe
watering???
@SweetAzurebluet

Hey again!!!!

My Croton is also a Petra!
I absolutely adore him but all the gro lights are timed off now, so I can't take a photo... ๐Ÿ˜ž ๐Ÿ˜ฆ
@MariansOasis

Hello again dear Marian.
I'm on my Android phone now...I switched from the tablet.
This old phone โ˜Ž๏ธ won't let me pull up ANY emojis.
They just pop up randomly.

I just discovered that if I use at least 2 key words, the emoji I want will pop up. Then I can delete those words and move the emoji over.

For example...for Harriet's post, I wanted to show an emoji that I was sad, not happy. ๐Ÿ˜Š ๐Ÿ˜ƒ ๐Ÿ˜€...lol...these guys ๐Ÿ‘ฆ ๐Ÿ˜† all just popped up!

Anyhoo...I used the words "sad ๐Ÿ˜žface"...he just popped up.

Crazy ๐Ÿคช tech stuff!
@MariansOasis @MamaLinne @CutePolypremum @DreamMachine @SweetAzurebluet Where to start! You all have some serious show-stoppers! Those red/pink hues in the succulents to blue-like leaves, to cute Nadia in her gorgeous garden! Harriet, that color in your rubber plant thatโ€™s sun-stressing is incredible! You are all so talented and beautiful growers! ๐Ÿฉต๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป๐ŸŒป๐Ÿ
Okay, sorry for sharing a couple more. I got up early and worked on plants till it got too bright for me. ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜‰
@CutePolypremum I think itโ€™s so cool that there is room for all types of us plant parents- itโ€™s what gives each person joy and makes plant keeping sustainable over the long term! I love hearing from you about the way you approach things- I always learn something! ๐Ÿ’š
My little baby Patty is out making sure I donโ€™t go missing. ๐Ÿคฃ The last pic is a very leggy third-year science experiment. I wanted to keep my old fallen apricot tree, so we trimmed it up and it has a perfect hole ๐Ÿ•ณ๏ธ for a kiwi vine. Iโ€™m hoping to grow it across to the fence, making it a beautiful tunnel-like back entrance. One day it will be pretty ๐Ÿซฃ (I hope) ๐Ÿ˜‚
