Oh tumblr have I got a job for you! I’m making a plant care guide for my spouse because I’m gonna be out of town for like 16 days so please send me names for 31 indoor plants and 21 outdoor pots

Am curious and ur boob cactus post reminded me-- why are the cacti they sell in stores so small? Do they just need time to grow, bc I feel like every one I've had has stayed at like six inches?? If I want a chunky boy do I just need to wait or is it gonn have to be a Big Purchase

Yeah, many cacti grow very slowly when kept in pots but also, most larger cacti tend to be very delicate and hard to ship to plant shops in the usual fashion for varying reasons (some are fragile, they're heavy, they are... spikey) so also do end up being very expensive.

My cacti mostly take their sweet time growing and only grow at all in a really narrow window of time every year which I don't mind so much because I have far too many. My euphorbia, on the other hand, do what they want.

Imagine when I have time to make a TRIPLE plant hanger for that far right spot? 👌🏻🤤 It will be like a tetris installation

Caddy is flowering! The flowers are pretty small right now but it's really cool to see the little yellow flowers peaking out on the tips.

As testy as succulents can be to grow, I’m glad they’re hearty little things, especially in winter time. Due to a dip in my mental health, I didn’t really take care of them for almost a full month (bad, I know), and I’m very glad that it’s winter so most of my plants were going into hibernation around that time anyways as they all seem to be doing fine despite my lapse in care.

Anyways, I’m back now and should be able to maintain a mostly regular schedule again. I’m hoping having them to take care of will help me get out of this bad mental space.

The sempervivum are looking really nice this time of year from the cold stress.

I don’t play The Sims at all but I’ve gotten back into watching a lot of Sims 4 YouTuber and building content lately and there was a new update to the game that added a lot more plant décor. I’m living for this, all the items are really pretty and I’m having fun seeing which plants I recognize or can name (I audibly gasped when someone put down a string of pearls light because it’s so pretty) and there are a few that’s on the edge of my memory but I just can’t name. Maybe someone else will name it in a video.
