Fear not this Weird Succulent Blight!

If you see a plant that looks like the above, it’s probably fine. If your succulents are anything like mine, they’ll probably get worse and look like the pic (below), which was another succulent I had that started getting this odd mystery blight on it’s newer leaves about a month before the echeveria pictured above. 

It’s pretty gross looking, but I’ve had this pop up on a lot of my plants and it never seems to hurt them (I don’t qualify the plant as being hurt unless it’s dead, dying or in danger of dying; ugly is fine). Eventually, the weird leaves will grow out. Here’s a pic of my Echeveria Contempo that’s starting to grow out of the blight after about a month of looking ratty. By the end of the summer it’ll probably look like new.

While I personally don’t worry about this blight anymore, if I do see discoloration of succulent leaves I'll usually check them for signs of rot, every once and a while, just to be safe. 

Signs of rot: Mushy stem; Weirdly dark spots in stem; Rotting or dying roots; Clear mushy leaves; The plant suddenly dropping all it’s leaves for no reason and then stem shriveling up and dying (all leaves =/= the lower leaves drying up and falling up, which is normal for a lot of succulents); severe discoloration or melting of new leaves; etc

The moral of this story - I have no idea what the heck this succulent mutilating blight is, but it doesn’t seem to do any permanent damage to my plants and it doesn’t seem to be contagious (I’ve had plants packed super tightly together and it never seems to spread pas a single plant). If anyone knows what this is or possibly how to treat it, hit me up.

This weirdo was beheaded in October of 2016 and only started getting roots in march or April of 2017. I thought it was just waiting to die, but it’s starting to regain its former glory!

This is the same plant in November 2017. It’s about 6” across, overflowing it’s container and looking mighty fine.

Terrarium for Sundews or Tropicals???

Or some unholy combination of both?

I have a 10 gal aquarium that will absolutely not hold water, but would be a great terrarium... I’m trying to decide if I should fill it with sundews or tropicals, So drop a comment if you think one would look cooler in an office!

Whatever I do with this, I’ll make a video about how I clean up the tank and plant it and such :)

Ruby Plants Unboxing 3 28 18

3rd Order from Ruby Plants, first time not ordering non-succulents. All of the orders were very healthy. Creep around to see what I got/a cat wandering around.

I recently got some plants from Ruby Plants and figured I’d share the unboxing video here. 

All the plants looked really healthy and it was a satisfying unbox even though a cat tried to nom my plants. 

If anyone is ordering from Ruby and wants a free 3D printed pot, just use this link: https://rubyplants.com/share/PU41E90RI7

As it turns out, I had a lot of random succulent artwork hanging out in my sketchbook. It’s now available for sale on my RedBubble since I finally figured out how to work the scanner.

Lush Life

By Alex Jones Nakia Maples, better known as Philly Plant Guy, has around 200 plants in his South Philly rowhouse. They're mostly tropicals like palms, philodendrons and long, trailing pothos in hanging baskets. In his “plant room”—where the only unoccupied space is a small sofa—a fountain gurgles

An article written about Philadelphians, like myself, who are super into house plants. I know a lot of the people mentioned in the article and they’re all great. I’m also mentioned XD

[asexual-plants]

Gonna see what I can find at the flower show.

Bioluminescent algae that’s been happily growing on my desk for the last month or two. It looked 57.12x cooler in person.

At what point do I need an intervention???

*EDIT: This post was in my queue for a while and 4 days after I shot this, I was collapsing boxes from plant shipments - there was a pile of them - and I found 3 bromeliads that I’d accidentally left in the box... They’re in the frog tank temporarily...

[asexual-plants]

These bromeliads remind me of fall and for that I love them.
