Succulovin

I'm a lover of succulents, and nature in general! Soon I'm hoping to start creating a garden to bring hummingbirds, butterflies, and even bees to my yard!

Guys this self-quarentining is making it hard to not online shop and I already have 3 succulent orders on the way to me, one with 7 plants, the 2nd with just one plant, and the 3rd with 2 plants! And I have a planter from Target on it's way also! I must be stopped especially since I don't have a job for the time being! I also definitely am guilty of shopping therapy when I'm stressed and I am very stressed so all I want to do is say

Air roots are roots growing in the air instead of down in the soil. Why does your plant have them? When the plant is thirsty and the soil is dry he might grow them! Another reason could be that the plant is leaning to one side or getting a long stem and is scared to tip over and by growing these roots he hopes to find some soil to cling on to

These are my plant children! Some of them I've had for about a year, one small cactus baby I've had for 3 years in with that thimble cactus cluster, and the rest of them I just got!I have some more on the way and a new pot! Hopefully I'm not too ambitious by having so many new plant children but with this Corona virus craziness I have lots of time to keep an eye on them lol

watering plants is so stressful like you can’t ask them if they need more or less? like is this enough for you, oh is this too much or do you need more water to grow, are you thirsty, shit are you drowning can you answer me   P LE ASE

i thought succulents were supposed to be the easy do-nothing plant thats impossible to kill but these fuckers are WAY more difficult than all the beans i had to grow in high school. wtf

a normal plant: just fuckin stick it in the sun and give it water. lookin malnourished? nourish it. stuff like blight, aphids, and spider mites are easy as fuck to diagnose and treat.

a god damn succulent, apparently: only likes dry aerated soil mixtures and barely any water ever and lots of indirect sunlight but no direct sunlight and sometimes they just start to look rotting and crinkly and mushy which either means theyre overwatered or underwatered or the soil’s retaining too much moisture or they’re just sad about living in your shitty house. will become naked and die for no apparent reason. you fucking suck

also fucking succulents: throw a rotten dead leaf from 1964 on a plate and watch it spring back to FUCKING life, i guess.

This photoset shows my monarch butterfly experience. My swanplants (milk weed) got really big which meant they were just heaving with caterpillars. All the plants have been stripped completely bare. I have bought a pumpkin which the caterpillars can eat. The cocoons are so pretty, the are bright green with a strip of gold.

“I’m just going to look” usually turns into buying more plants.
