Wow, that's beautiful! What an amazing plant.I have hens and chicks in my outside garden. They get a lot of sun, and survive winters. Last year I had a death bloom.
Not really, I use a potting soil that is supposed to be specifically for cacti and keep them out of the way of the cats. That's about allDo you do any special care to promote blooming for your cactus?
That's so pretty!My Calathea is loving its spot in the corner of the sunroom.
What do you do with your babies? Do you separate them and repot or leave them on the mother plant?new babies popping out!
Not sure yet. My plans for this week was to research it and decide what may be best, imo. I'd love to gift a baby cactus to my plant loving friend, but not sure if I should wait for them to get bigger before doing so. For my non cacti succulents, I was thinking of cutting off some of the offshoot babies and making a mixed planter. That depends when I have energy to do plant stuff though.What do you do with your babies? Do you separate them and repot or leave them on the mother plant?
Dinosaurs!!! Soooo cute!! That would take a lot of power, LoL. Those look like really nice quality, too! Ah, being a grown up sucks some times.They had orange and purple dinosaurs too, but I used all my powers of self control and only bought one. I don't need to fill my house with dinosaurs and cacti. I'm a grown up. I won't do that.
I'm pretty sure I'll be back there next pay day to get another one.Dinosaurs!!! Soooo cute!! That would take a lot of power
I think it's a sacroiliac, not a skull. From a deer or boar, probably? That would be one freaky skull! Looks like a Chinese mythology dragon .That skull is so unique!
The purple plant in the first dino looks like a Sedum of some kind. Bet if you broke off a piece, it would root and you'd have another.What do you do with your babies? Do you separate them and repot or leave them on the mother plant?
I found this gorgeous little dinosaur planter today. It was around $8 for the planter and the succulent and I've never seen this kind of succulent before.

I bought a similar dinosaur plater last year, so now he has a friend.

I've been thinking about that today. I have one arrangement with a lot of straggly looking pieces, as well as a few other gangly succulents in pots of their own. When I gather up the courage I might redo the whole arrangement.Any plans for the beheaded pieces?
Actually, it's a deer's cranium, but I've got it positioned upside down. The face you are seeing is where the skull joined the spine and the nerves went from the brain to the rest of the body. It's pretty cool though, isn't it? Found it deep in the woods with a lot of other bones. I think she must have died a natural death and then been picked clean by scavengers.I think it's a sacroiliac, not a skull.
That's what I'm hoping will happen. I'll just let it grow a little bigger first.Bet if you broke off a piece, it would root and you'd have another.
How exciting! Wonder how long before they'll be in bloom?Both of my orchids have spikes, one has one and the other two. I kept looking at them because they looked different from new roots. They have just started to grow.
That's interesting that air conditioning would trigger the spike. Guess we'll see blooms in a few months then.I started running my air conditioning constantly a couple of weeks ago, I think that is what triggered them to start a spike.
