My Plant Collection One Year Ago.
This pic popped up on my feed. My little collection a year ago 🥹 I thought I would do an update on all the plants in the picture a year on to see how well they’re doing, a different plant every day. Anything I learned along the way, mistakes I made and tricks. 🫶
My first before and after is my
Agave attenuata.
This plant has been through a lot with me, I placed it in numerous spots inside and outside of my home. Being an agave I thought it would be happy getting direct sun on my front porch with my other succulents, but she would get burnt tips and scorch marks. It also was a tasty treat for slugs 🐌 and snails! So I brought her back in, she only has 3 leaves remaining from when she was outside now, all of her indoor created leaves are perfect 🤩 She’s now living in a west facing window (southern hemisphere) with a sheer curtain. At the moment she’s giving me a new leaf every two weeks! So fast 😃 I really adore this plant and hope I can grow her into a majestic plant one day. I may repot her soon but she’s so happy in this pot it’s hard moving her. She’s in plain succulent mix, glazed pot with drainage. I water her when dry, but she’s never made a fuss if I’m too soon/late. Very easy going plant 10/10 recommend #BeforeAndAfter #HoyaAddictHome #Agave #HappyPlants #PlantAddict

@LatiTish84 Aww I’m so glad you like it too! The leaves are so nice to stroke 🥰 they can get HUGE! I hope you can find one near you, this was a bargain for $5aud (approx $3usd)
Agaves thrive outside in the ground here (coastal San Diego) but after seeing the gorgeous leaves on your indoor 🪴 agave I might have to give it a go!
