#TheWateringHole Good afternoon to all my #TheWateringHol...

#TheWateringHole Good afternoon to all my #TheWateringHole friends! It has been forever since I’ve started a post! I’m off work today recovering from our drive home from North Port, Florida yesterday afternoon. Lots of watering and fertilizing going on today. I knew eventually someone would try to get me out of my comfort zone of the succulent world. My stepdaughter, after killing off succulents (including a prop or two from me!) has gone plant crazy and decided to share some of her prop efforts with me. She gave me a small pot with a combination of neon pothos and marble (?) pothos and a prop from her green prayer plant (hers is gorgeous). Everyone please pray that I can keep the prayer plant alive! We went to a plant sale while we were there. I was a good enabler and she bought 2 Hoyas. In turn, she encouraged me not to leave empty handed. I bought a tiny pot of variegated string of hearts. I’ve got to figure out were to put all my new goodies!
Has anyone else stepped out of their plant comfort zone recently either by choice or being gifted?
What’s happening on this Monday at your watering hole?

Good morning Joy @RefinedSandwort and #TheWateringHole friends! ☀️ It has been a while, I was thinking recently, since you started a post and what beautiful new plants 🪴, plus a pic of you & hubby, to show off!🥰 💚 I too haven’t posted much as I was in Las Vegas for a couple of weeks with the horse 🐴. And so Greg is telling me I have 61 plants to 💦 🪴 care for 😅 😮‍💨. Congratulations on the prayer plant, pothos and variegated SOH 🩷💚🤍. Recently I dove 🤿back into SOH with enablement of @stephonicle 🤪😜😝. I have to post pics of the bebes 🌱. It’ll be fun to see how yours grow as the weeks go by 🪴! I also jumped back into a variegated Hoya compacta. I have a regular compacta but it was banished outside because of mealies. Now there’s one inside with his/her Hoya friends 🤭🫠. So that’s what’s happening around my oasis. I’m sure there’s a lot more happening, just haven’t dug in yet….need a few moments to unpack 🧳 and get in some Pearl snuggle time 🐕🤗 👋
Glad to see you post! My sweet hubby gifted me a calathea for my birthday…it’s truly the only plant I refuse to try again. Sold it on FB marketplace the next week. 🙈Being a nurse, I deal with enough death in my job, I don’t need it at home too! 🙊
@MamaLinne At least you got rid of it before it had a chance to die!
@RefinedSandwort yes exactly! I did all of us a favor! (Except maybe the buyer lol)
@RefinedSandwort @MamaLinne @MariansOasis

Hi ladies!
Nothing much going on here but I'm enjoying reading your messages along with awesome photos and emojis!

It's 92 degrees today with very high pollen and humidity.
My car was dusted with yellow and light greenish pollen when I went out early this morning 🌄.

I even had to use the windshield wipers!

Staying close to the AC and fans for the rest of the day.

Enjoy!
@CutePolypremum sounds like AC and fans are a good plan for the day. 92 and humid sounds uncomfortable!
@RefinedSandwort Love the pic of you and the hubby! ❤️ And how did I miss that you’re an ALL SUCCULENTS girl?? I could learn a thing or two from you 😂 I have full confidence that the pothos will thrive 🌱 and I wish you all the best with the prayer plant 😂 Msybe you’ll be one of the chosen ones like your daughter in law! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
@MariansOasis Welcome home Marian! Enjoy this Pearl snuggles 🥰 I’m sure your 61 plants won’t mind 😁
@MamaLinne I wish I was as wise as you! My hubby was drawn to a beautiful prayer plant when we went plant shopping for our anniversary in January. I thought sure, I’ll try one again! I’m sure I can do it this time! 🙌

(Morgan Freeman cameo: She, in fact, could NOT do it this time).

I gave it away before I’d completely killed it, but it was close ☠️
@CutePolypremum 92 and humid…oof! I’m glad you’ve got AC Joanie! Stay comfy! 🪭
I’m back at work today, so nothing new to report really. I guess I am quite proud that my Florist Kalanchoe rebloomed for the first time 🥰

Yesterday I spent most of the day fussing with my plants which was FUN! I took one break to grade exams, but other than that it was 🌱🌱🌱❤️
@debbiedo

Am staying cool!

The new bright red flowers are a wonder.
Hey kids...

Me again!

Someone posted an awesome remedy for fungus gnats from WE THE WILD that they purchased at Wal-Mart.

If you see this, could you please post again with photo?

Thanks so much! 🤗😍
@debbiedo 🤣🤣💞💞we need to start a Calathea Failures club!
@debbiedo @RefinedSandwort @CutePolypremum @MamaLinne it’s almost evening here, got through 57 plants 🪴 today!! 😮 There were a few surprises 😁- blossoms on some epiphyllums that I got as cuttings so it’s a surprise to see what colors they’re turning out to be - supposed to be fuchsia, white, coral and one other color 🤷‍♀️ 😝. So far the fuchsia are blooming first.
Oh and @debbiedo start up the Calathea Failure club 👍. I’m definitely a member too! 🤪🤭
@MariansOasis Nice blooms!
@MariansOasis I love those Epiphyllum blooms! 😍
@RefinedSandwort @CutePolypremum @debbiedo @MamaLinne

Yay!! So nice to see your post and welcome to my world *maniacal cackle.* I just adore that you and your stepdaughter have been encouraging each other with plants. Really warms the heart 🥲

Oof Marian!! I feel you on the plant count, I have 79 today to check 🙃 With work this weekend I was only watering the plants I could visibly see desperately needed it 😳 So today my goal is to check on everybody thoroughly. Welcome home!!

Omg Deb I’m so glad you sold that calathea. As you all know I have many, but when you showed me that pinstripe I went, ‘oh 💩…THAT one.’ 🤣🤣 That’s staring at the hardest level!

Debbie your florist kalancho is so vibrant, wow!! 🤩

My dear Joanie, I feel sticky just thinking about that!! 🥵 🥵 So glad you have AC!! 😮‍💨

And for me I have actually branched out into succulents more!! So Joy we are like a complementary pair 😂 I have a beautiful bloom on my new split rock (I cheated, in my own line of reasoning, and picked one with a flower spike starting) 😁😍 And I have a little raindrops echeveria there, and a couple lithops that I haven’t killed yet!
@DreamMachine I’ve been meaning to tell you I sold it! I just couldn’t stand watching it deteriorate. 🙈
Hello! My sweet #TheWateringHole friends. I've been down and out... I have fibromyalgia and went on a day hike with a plant society we belong to Saturday... So my body rebelled! I'm finally moveable! Now I have 53 plants to water! And get this... It *̣̥☆·͙̥❄‧̩̥࿌ིྀ྇˟͙☃️˟͙࿌ིྀ྇‧̩̥❄·͙̥̣☆*̣̥!! My poor outside garden! Love everyone's beautiful blooms! Thank you for sharing!! Hope everyone is well!! 🪴🦋🌵🐞
@MamaLinne I’m glad you did, and that’s coming from a calatheaphile 😂

My top 5 most unfussy laid back prayer plants for you and anyone else ( @MariansOasis @debbiedo ) are:

1. Ctenanthe lubbersiana (or burle-marxii)
2. Stromanthe triostar
3. Goeppertia makoyana (peacock)
4. Any of the Maranta leuconeuras
5. Goeppertia insignis (rattlesnake)
@ZestyWhiteghost wow, MORE snow for you Carmen?? ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ 🫨 I’m sending good energy to all your outdoor plants 🤞 🙏 🌬️✨💫🌈🌹🌻🪻🦋🐝

Glad to hear that you might be feeling a bit better yourself ♥️🫶 (and I hope the hike was at least beautiful!! 😆)
@DreamMachine the learning was beautiful... Our state flower is the sagebrush... Here is 1/2 of the group... The other 1/2 is in the ravene... 🏜🌵
