Is this normal? #succulentlove #monkeytailcactus #cactusc...
A few weeks ago the tip of a monkey tail broke off and now 5 are growing from it. Is this weird? Should I cut them off and plant them?
10ft to light, indirect
8โ pot without drainage
Last watered 1 week ago
@Luvlilu Itโs so cool! Keep us updated please! I would love to see it in a month!๐ชด
@Luvlilu OMG ๐ฒ ALL of your plants look like they are from "Plants Digest" ! ( like Archetectural Digest) Wow.
@Ponytailmom I will try my best to remember to post an update on this one for you! Forgive me in advance if I don't though because my brain is menopausal ๐ตโ๐ซ
@DaringColtsfoot thanks ๐ your 26 look great too! Real talk.... 126 is at least 30 plants too many for me right now but the more I give away, the more I buy or propagate ๐คฆ๐พโโ๏ธ. It's the dopamine thing ๐. I'm working on it though. Trying to give what I already have its best life instead of spending ๐ฐ on more. It's just so hard NOT to get happy in the nurseries and plant stores during house plant season ๐คค๐
@slayonium Huh! That is very interesting ๐ค. Thank you! I ALWAYS love to learn new things about my green babies ๐. And this one does grow pretty fast, I bought it in December and each stem has already grown 3 inches!
@Luvlilu ๐ฏ same here! Honestly 50 or so plants feels just right for me, but it never stays that low for long. Definitely a dopamine thing. For me itโs a good lesson in enjoying the process at least as much as the product. Iโm getting better at letting plants come and go (the go part could still use some work ๐)
@Luvlilu Girl! I am finally finished with that! YAY ME! I went through 7 years of hell for Mother Nature! She can be a bitty sometimes! Good luck and I will try to remind ya! ๐๐ชด
@Ponytailmom I am proud of you! ๐ Only plant people (and possibly ex-smokers ๐) understand how hard it is to come back to a healthy place with this. I am learning what plants fit my atmosphere, my lifestyle, and my budget and I've been gravitating towards that way of thinking, living, and buying for a few months now. I'm also focusing on traveling and other hobbies too which helps to "scratch that itch" ๐.
@Luvlilu ooh your oasis IS beautiful ๐คฉ I also needs must use a lot of artificial light, but it works!
@DreamMachine looks like you have a beautiful full oasis yourself! ๐
@Luvlilu 100 too many for me. I keep getting more whether I like it or not now. When people come over now , they consider me the go to expert ! Give me rehabs...and never come back!?
@DaringColtsfoot you have to learn to say NOOOOO to the rehabs ๐ Give them advice and let them work it out themselves. I had to stop doing that because people just dump sick and dying plants on you that they really don't want back and then you're stuck spending time, energy, resources and emotions on a plant that you never wanted in the first place. I buy or trade for plants that I WANT. ๐
๐ฟโโ๏ธ No more scrubs! ๐
