#myplants

I made this a while ago but I wasn't happy with how sparse it was, so I added in the shield fern (the big dark green fluffy one) I got from work recently. I took a risk and just ripped the root ball in half and stuck it in there, and it has had very minimal browning! I put the rest of it in another terrarium which is also doing ok.

It has sort of become a nursery for my dying selaginellas that I previously kept in a plastic bin of wet pumice and didn't water for about two years oops. They're happy now though. The blue green one is selaginella uncinata and the bright green I'm not sure about. It grows upright like a little tree and will adhere to the glass.

The little fuzzy plant on the left is a petrocosmea (I love this name!) that I ripped out of the other terrarium because it was losing all its color. The left is Begonia Withlacoochee (just learned the name comes from a river in Florida). There's a kind of reddish green selaginella in there too, as well as some little trailing guys. This terrarium has been going strong for a few weeks since I redid it.

I’ve recently gotten into plants/gardening and wanted to share:

This weekend I have to re-pot my aloe plant because now there’s too many babies and it’s super crowded! Also, in the process of growing sensitive plants (where when you touch them they recoil a bit), and so far they’re sprouting nicely :) My bromeliad is dying but she’s leaving me some babies so I’m going to wait until they’re bigger to pot them separately (also bromeliads can’t live forever so this is a natural process). And lastly, my strawberry plant continues to grow and flower! I found out she has a fungal infection so I definitely need to re-pot her soon (vertillium wilt) but otherwise she seems to be hanging in well.
