plant shenanigans !

baby jades & baby mother of thousands still seem to be doing well! i also planted two kalanchoe cuttings the other day

all done!!! ended up potting a 3rd baby that didn’t break off with any roots bc i wanna see if it still survives. i’ll also be watering all these with distilled water now, since the water at our new place is very hard

and the kalanchoe has new growth at the nodes now that i’ve chopped off the top! very excited to hopefully get it to a thicker bushy shape (my parent kalanchoe plant is way too leggy lol)

the one on the bottom right i still need a pebble tray for (episcias need humidity to flower!), but at least it’s still growing! i put it in the bathroom to give it some more humidity in the meantime

the easter cacti have been putting out a lot of new growth since their flowering period ended, and the episcia cutting’s second flower is still blooming beautifully :) but i’m excited for it to stop blooming so i can pot it!

my dad’s baby mango tree is growing a new leaf! :)

iirc H. cuspidata might actually be a hybrid between H. retusa & some other haworthia species, so they must be very similar/very closely related either way

(the white fuzz on the mother-of-thousands is the rootlet i think! might be moldy but i’ve had baby plants with moldy roots before and they usually turn out fine. now that the roots are there i don’t need to keep the container so moist, so hopefully the mold will just go away after a while)

here is a general jade plantlet update! the 3rd leaf (far left) finally has shot up babies! noticed this morning it actually has at least 3 plantlets growing now :)

noticed some extra leaves sitting around in one of my new plant’s pots, so i’m putting them in the soil with my jade plantlets on the off chance they will actually take root. stay tuned :)

edit: pretty sure the haworthia is actually H. retusa

my mom’s very sad overgrown peace lily. im going to hopefully repot it sometime next week and also remove a bunch of the pups growing out of it + give them their own pots :)

chopped off the top of my newer kalanchoe plant, hoping it will branch out

repotted my jade plant because it was falling over + a lot of roots were dying…is now in a pot with drainage and i put it deeper in the dirt so it has more stem room for root growth, hopefully it does well

my ficus pumila is starting to show some variegation again! might prune some of the non-variegated growth, or all of it. haven’t decided yet
