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

#peace lilies are sensitive to minerals in tapwater & don’t need to be fertilized much etc #so! hopefully with distilled water & more wiggle room these will all start looking healthier #my plants #houseplants #peace lily

i am finally going to repot & propagate the peace lily today…….can’t procrastinate anymore 😤 stay tuned

#my landlord is here fixing some stuff but once he’s done i think i will go ahead and do it #changing its environment doesn’t seem to have done much for it #still all sad and droopy. SO it’s time for me to put her in a new pot w fresh soil #and also make her babies move out bc it is crowded in that pot #text

jade and kalanchoe updates! the jade’s new growth is starting to look really nice! and i think it must be growing new roots since it is still looking pretty healthy, not getting squishy or crispy, etc.

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)

both my potted episcias have been looking pretty good! the one in the pebble tray has at least 2 flower buds and the newer foliage is a really nice color :) not sure if anything can be done about the older less colorful leaves, but oh well.

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!

been looking at some different haworthia species & i think my new haworthia may actually be H. retusa rather than H. cuspidata 🤔

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

#wish i had a massive plant encyclopedia featuring every plant lol #text

my succulent selection was honestly a jackpot bc i noticed i’ve got this extra little guy (?? i’ve seen them before but idk what they’re called) in with my H. retusa, and also the mother-of-thousands plantlet i found in one of the pots is already rooting!! really hoping these two make it :)

(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)

#the other succulent leaf doesn’t look so good #but if i end up with these other 2 i’ll be pretty darn happy #my plants #houseplants #mother of thousands #i’ll add the other name when i figure it out hopefully #haworthia retusa #jade plant

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 :)

#first one i think is another ghost echeveria #the other one i think came off of a mother-of-thousands?#i need to look up how they reproduce #/how they are propagated #would be real cool to have one of those!#my plants #succulents

decided to get myself some presents after graduating :) Sempervivum arachnoideum, some type of haworthia (i think Haworthia cuspidata), and some type of echeveria—Echeveria lilacina maybe

edit: pretty sure the haworthia is actually H. retusa

#unfortunately i think i’ll have to cut off the echeveria flowers (bottom right)#the stalk got damaged :/#but they are all so very pretty!#my plants #houseplants #flowers #succulents #haworthia #haworthia retusa #star cactus #sempervivum #sempervivum arachnoideum #echeveria #echeveria lilacina #ghost echeveria

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

#i think it’ll depend on how much variegation keeps popping up #we’ll see if he gets enough light #my plants #houseplants #ficus pumila #ficus pumila variegata #creeping fig
