Gave some plant babies to a friend of mine! She loved them 🌱🌿
Repotted my String of Pearls last night. Had to snip some roots growing on the strings I left hanging over the pots and accidentally got the big pot all potted and realized I had two more strings I had set down elsewhere, so they got their own little pot. Hopefully they like hanging :)
I’ll probably repot the Haworthia and the watch chain in the other container there, the watch chain is getting floppy and I’d rather it be all together and bushy rather than sparse and floppy.
Two species of clubmoss: Lycopodium clavatum and Lycopodium obscurum. From Wikipedia: “Historically, L. obscurum has been harvested from the wild for use as Christmas greens for wreaths, as well as the use of its spores for flash powder. While flash powder is now practically obsolete, the harvest of L. obscurum has caused it to become threatened in several areas, leading Indiana and New York to declare it protected by state law.” We have another clubmoss in the woods here, but it’s a Huperzia (lucidula), not a Lycopodium, and although I see it way more often than that top one, I didn’t see any of it today.

Munch or Murder? Munch, but not like you’d think. The Princess Pine is not toxic to humans when any part of the plant is ingested, but no part is particularly tasty to humans. However, parts of the princess pine can be used in medicinal products, which are safe to ingest.

#plantfailfriday my #crassulamuscosa #watchchain #princesspine is looking a little sad for itself. I think the problem is that it is not getting enough light. I moved it from my windowsill to my lovely new #plantshelfie, but it doesn’t get so much sunshine there! Thanks @nelly_ohoh for the advice. I’ve taken some cuttings and potted those up in the hope all is not lost (last picture). I’ve also kept the stumps with their tiny root systems and planted them in the hope that without the heavy legs (or are they more arm or hair-like?!) they might sprout again too 🌱 The moral of the story - keep plants where they are happy, not where you think they look most aesthetically pleasing 😂 #houseplants #houseplantgang
