hello my succulent and cacti brethren!!

hello! im new to the succulent and cacti thing but im starting to love them i was hoping i can get some tips on how to grow them... ( well cost efficiently im a stingy potato and confused) so yeah!

[tauforged]

why does my caladium act like she is starving for light. hang on

[tauforged]

every day i ahve to reposition the damn lamp cuz she’s dead set on sticking her first leaf Right The Fuck In There and i don’t want her to burn. but every day i come home from work and she has closed the distance anyway. bestie PLEASE cooperate with me

[tauforged]

i finally caved and moved her to the windowsill but this has clearly not satisfied her because she still presses that leaf RIGHT up against the glass

[tauforged]

apparently instead of actually growing new leaves in order to increase her light intake she’s decided that these are PERFECT conditions to flower in

BABYGIRL YOU HAVE ONE LEAF PLEASE

Succulents that look like something out of this world

Clear Succulent Plant

Rose Succulents

Bunny Succulents

Some of the fantastically strange plants like the mermaid tail or the opal-like clear succulents look like they’re from another planet and something that aliens keep on their alien desks in their alien offices.

If you want to get one of these peculiar succulents for yourself or for your loved ones as a gift, the mermaid one is called a crested Senecio Vitalis while the clear one is the Haworthia Cooperi plant.

Haworthia succulents are popular because of their “leaf windows” which let in a lot of light for the plant. The “windows” also minimize water loss from evaporation because the rest of the plant is buried underground. Haworthia plants also have accordion-like roots that pull them deeper into the ground so that they can thrive.

Haworthia plants are easy to take care of and are great succulents for beginners: just pop them on the windowsill and they’ll be happy. Especially if you plop it into some gritty soil.

In general, succulents need plenty of light and you need to rotate them occasionally so all parts of it can enjoy the sun and to help it grow straight.

Overwatering is a big no-no, so check the soil regularly: if it’s dry, get your watering can ready. Also, keep in mind that succulents need more water during Spring and Summer and barely need any in Fall and Winter when they’re ‘resting.’ Finally, wipe the dust off your succulents to help them grow and become your picture-perfect plant-pals.

Brighamia insignis—sometimes called cabbage on a stick— is a rare Hawaiian plant thought to be close to extinct in the wild. Besides the usual culprits of habitat encroachment, poaching, severe population isolation, etc, another major driver for this was the loss of its primary pollinator. We aren’t totally sure what species used to pollinate this plant, but it was probably a long tongued moth that went extinct. The extended nectar tubes and somewhat specific powdery scent keep other potential replacement pollinators from visiting— this meant that all remaining plants needed to be hand pollinated, but even that didn’t result in reliable fruit set or fruit maturation. This is an interesting example of the potential drawbacks to co-evolving a close symbiotic relationship with another organism. While the moth gained a reliable source of nectar reserved for only itself and the plant gained a reliable way to spread its pollen, the cost when one partner fails is total if the relationship is exclusive. You can still find these odd plants in botanic gardens/some nurseries, but they’ll never be able to make it back to the wild.

It was my nephew’s first birthday this year and I made a little series as a reminder of where his mama and I grew up. Can’t wait to see him again- he is such a joyful little miracle!! 👶

Imagine passing summer nights in a garden house: rain pouring in the morning, steam from your tea fogging the windows as the water taps away outside, fading later into warm sunshine that filters through to light your reading in the afternoon 🍃

please don’t forget to drink water and get some sunlight because you’re basically a houseplant with complicated emotions.

Instead of endless wastelands of mowed grass lawns, consider:

😍

[dvar-trek]

this only works in places with lots of rain, a temperate summer, and a nice cold winter. like England. or Michigan.

[star-anise]

True! Unless you can find an economical way to irrigate, more appropriate lawn alternatives in hotter, more arid places might lean more to prairie meadows using local grasses and wildflowers:

Or, they might mean doing classic landscaping, but with rocks and xeriscape plants:

Or having a cactus garden:

There are lots of exciting possibilities once you throw the classic turf lawn out the window!

these are all so beautiful and all I can think is ‘that stone arc isn’t a stargate and I’m sad about it’
