Ellie is Scale victim: changed soil, granules, bright light, fungicide, watered a day or two ago after not watering for 8 days 😭😭

I left (also scale victim) Anakin a little too long in water (over night) so I’ve been having my fan on so his soil can dry out a lil, but idk what else to do 😭

Answer

@RJG  look at this! Smfh. They restricted valet water privileges. 🤦🏾‍♀️😂 @jcPlantProper

@LatiTish84 well usually he’s pretty tolerant to not getting much while he works. I watered him and let him sit in water. Hopefully he doesn’t tell on me 😂

Awww @starfirejem groots hair is perfect😍

Answer

@ESylvanus there's something I absolutely love about elephant bush. Mostly I think it's the thick stems. Love your planter!

Answer

@PlantEsteem that’s the dinteranthus pole-evansii, or “golf ball succulent” :p it has a texture like a golf ball!

Answer

@RJG  last night after midnight the flower did end up closing all the way.  Took the pics at about 12:20.  Now this morning the flower looks like it’s starting to open again.  Not sure if this will be the last day it flowers or if it will also bloom tomorrow

Answer

@ivysaur omg I need that one now for my office. I work at a very popular mini golf/waterpark family entertainment place.

Answer

@ESylvanus this looks great....once it settles in and starts growing.....ooooo.....pretty....🤤😍🤩 I can't wait to see future updates!!!

Answer

@PlantEsteem *squeals like a four year old girl* that is a natural response to seeing a lithops and as stated before it won’t hurt, just calmly wait for them to begin to whisper affirmations to you all day, and yours dewrinkled from watering?!  Your already a better lithops caretaker than me!!

Answer

@Lithopslover I honestly watered  a little cause I didn't want them to explode......and waited...my ac is in that room so I knew it would be 68 degrees so they could actually do their drinking thing!   You are right.....no pain just a ....fuller feeling in my chest....is my heart growing like in the grinch?? 🤯🥰🥰🥰😉

Answer

😍🥰

Answer

@RJG this first pic was some lithops I rescued that were pretty much so damaged they looked dead and they probably would’ve thrown them away.  I bought it for $2 and now they grew new leaves and recovered.  This is some of my lithops with new growth

Answer

@RJG this is one euphorbia I haven’t posted.  It was damaged and lost some leaves but it’s better and recovering just fine now.  It’s been inside under the grow lights and seems to be happy and rarely needs water since inside.

Answer

@RJG Check out the flower stalk on this swordfish aloe! #whatthesuccwednesday

Answer

@SirLiquorice omg life goals!!!

Answer

These are a couple more with a lot of new growth.  My cabbage on a stick/Hawaiian desert rose keeps growing new leaves like crazy

Answer

My raindrop plant grew a branch that was broken off somehow so I put it in the pot with my bonsai crown of thorns and it has been growing since.  The crown of thorns has been steadily flowering.  And the dwarf prickly pear cactus has been growing a lot.

Answer

@RJG no I didn’t see that yet.  Have to look for that

Answer

What do I do about my succs 😭😭

Answer

@RJG Ellie is losing more and more leaves and does not look like she is getting better 😩 even thought about putting her out of her misery. I don’t know what else to do 🥲

Answer

Got this little cutie for my birthday last month

Answer

@brittnee where did you get it?

Answer

The storm is about to get here.  Can hear the thunder now.  Clouds are already coming in.  Flower won’t get any more sunlight today it appears.

Answer

My airocarpus that I got for free since it was damaged is slowly growing some new leaves in.  It only had one small one.  That one is now sticking out more and another is coming in barely.  By next year you may not be able to tell it was damaged anymore

Answer

@RJG speaking of succulents look what just arrived at my door!!!

Answer

@RJG I won a giveaway from east Austin succulents so I bought something also and they shipped it together.  Should be 5 total.  I won 4 succulents they said.  Don’t recall what they are.  Have to check

Answer

@RJG is the same kind?

Answer

@AwesomePlants yeah those appear to be the same type

Answer

The free giveaway ones made it pretty much all in one piece.  Looks like ups was a little rough with the box and broke the tallest one.  I can just used some clonex rooting gel and try to grow roots on the broken piece now.  Shouldn’t be too difficult to save it  I’m hoping

Answer

@RJG are they the same kind of plant? Just a little one?

Answer

@RJG  @sarahsalith  got this one in the mail today from east Austin succulents.  I had never seen this one for sale ever so I had to get it.  It’s another one that has flowers that smells like rotting meat.  Should grow a vine similar to my elephants foot it sounds. http://www.llifle.com/Encyclopedia/SUCCULENTS/Family/Asclepiadaceae/32277/Matelea_cyclophylla#:~:text=Soil%3A%20In%20pots%20it%20needs,the%20branches%20have%20died%20back.

Answer

I’ll have two new ones to show off next week I hope. Some accidentally fell into my online shopping cart at Plant Desert…. 🤔

Answer

@SirLiquorice oh WOW!! I'm gonna have to go check them out! Thank you for sharing!

Answer

@Roserade planet desert is one of my favorite nurseries to buy from.  So cool how they ship most in the pots. And they have the best customer service.  They even went out of their way to ship with UPS and looked for plants for me to see if they had another one hiding somewhere even though it said out of stock

Answer

@SirLiquorice it’s definitely awesome!  It’s where my euphorbia Susannae prize came from. I’ve always loved succs and cacti, so happy to have an excellent source. And of course Greg friends who are BAD influences. 🤔😂

Answer

You should also reach out to Gary Duke on instagram.  He will video chat with you so you can shop unless you’re able to stop by his house.  He has an amazing collection.  Some prize winning cacti and some over 100 years old.  He won’t sell from his collection of those but he sells a lot of cool and harder to find cacti and prices are pretty inexpensive for most. His customer service is also awesome and he ships fast.  He also wrote a book that’s useful that I also bought from him.   https://instagram.com/garyduke53?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=.  @Roserade

Answer

@SirLiquorice thanks my friend, that’s amazing!!!

Answer

That's so pretty @McWifey!!!
@yeahwills love your lil cutie😍😍😍

Answer

@SirLiquorice I finally visited East Austin Succulents over the weekend and it was amazing! I will definitely be back

Answer

@Ehlane if you ever go to San Antonio also check out palm Buddha nursery.  They have a super cool nursery and they sell much larger and older plants also.  A lot of nurseries don’t have plants as old or as big as them.  But they also have tiny ones also.  That’s maybe my favorite locally.  But also rainbow gardens is amazing and they have two locations here.  I’ve only gone to one so far but it’s at least 5 acres of plants everywhere.  Nothing as big as palm Buddha but they have a lot of cool stuff.  And they stock all the plant supplies like soil and sprays and whatever else you can think of.  Palm Buddha doesn’t sell pots and accessories like rainbow does. But they are both my favorites here.  Both have so much to choose from it’s overwhelming sometimes.  I need to go to east Austin succulents ones day.  It’s funny I won 4 succulents from them and bought one and I haven’t even been there before.  Lol.  And it’s cool they do an instagram live auction every Sunday.   That would be cool if they were able to do that on the Greg app.  👀🫣@RJG

Answer

@RJG next time!! I went with my daughter, and we decided it’s a very good thing that it’s not near our house!

Answer

@PlantEsteem haha Lithops definitely have that effect on people!  @RJG I’m totally down with #LithopsArmy, because if you have one Lithops, pretty soon you want an entire army of them!

Answer

Agreed @Jana85 .....the lithops definitely make you want an army of them!🥰🤣

Answer

@PlantEsteem thank you!!!
