19 Aug 23 Update

It's time for an updateeeeeeee!

So the first thing I'd like to say is that the number of plants I have has decreased almost drastically.

The oldest plant I have is Saturn, my Aloe Vera, and he's doing really well. Over the summer, I gave him to my assistant manager to babysit because he is one of my biggest plants, and I thought it would be a hassle to bring him back and forth between home and school.

The next biggest plant I have is my Pothos, who doesn't have a name at the moment, but I'm working on it. He's doing well, and I have two leaves of his propagating in water. I am undecided as to whether I will add them back to his pot or create an entire new plant.

My Jade plant, Aphrodite, is doing pretty well. I have to do some research about which direction they're facing in terms of the sun, but she's right against the window. I have her facing away from it right now, so that her stems can start to grow straight up.

My Gasteraloe, Athena, is doing pretty good as well. I've had little to no problems with her at all over the summer. However, because if the sun's direction at home, she has started growing lopsided. So I have her next to Aphrodite and she's facing the opposite way to promote the correct way of growth again.

I posted a picture of Lucifer's, my snake plant, growth. And it has gotten a lottttt bigger, which is great for me. I watered him about 4 days ago, and before that, I think it's been 2-3 months since he last had water.

Today, I trimmed back Jupiter, my cobweb tradescantia. A few of her stems were really long and had almost no leaves, so I cut it and stuck it back into the soil. Another stem broke off in that process, so I also stuck that back into the soil. I also had a baby that was propagated from Jupiter and earlier in the week, I added it back to her because I wanted her to be fuller. She was also in a 6 inch pot and I reduced the pot size back down to 4 inches.

My Purple Heart tradescantia, Callisto, is doing pretty good. Last month, he had two main stems and I cut them back and stuck them back into the soil. For one, to make it fuller, and second, Callisto gets really top-heavy. If he hasn't been water in a while, he will start to tip over, so I decided that was the best course of action for him at the moment.

I have a propagated Hoya in an egg-shaped cloche. I have yet to name this plant, but I have decided that her pronouns are she/her. She really likes the humid because she had around 3 full leaves, 1 small one, and 1 barely there. Now, all of the leaves are near the same size. When I propagated her, she only had two fully grown leaves.

Rumplestiltskin, or Mr. Gold, my string of turtles, is doing okay. He's also in a cloche. It's not that he's doing bad and he's still producing growth, but it's not as fast as it used to be. I don't know if I should be worried about that or not.

Helios, my air plant, is okay. He has a few browning tips and some of them are going really far down, but I am attesting that to not being consistent with my misting.

Neptune, my lemon lime Dracaena, is doing okay. I watered him with a lot of others on the 14th, I think. I'm concerned that his soil might be compacted, but when I lift him up, the pot also lifts this time. I find this to be a good sign because initially, only him and the soil would lift as one directly out of the pot.

Around a week ago, before moving back to school, I switched Hermes's, my bamboo, jar. He is now in a bearology jar with no rocks, and I think it suits him really well. In the larger container, his roots were turning right, and it was becoming a hassle for me to tend to him. Having him in the smaller jar looks better because it fits the amount of bamboo stalks that I have. However, a lot of his tips are yellowing, and I think that has something to do with sun placement. Whether it's too much or too little sun, I'm not sure yet. I have him on a table where he has access to the windows but he's not anywhere near them.

Next to Hermes is Zeus, my Zebra Haworthia. Last school year, I kind of kept him out of the sun a little bit and he thrived. However, now his tips are turning yellow and I'm not sure if it has to do with his pot or anything. I'm trying to stop getting trigger happy with repotting my plants so frequently.

At the moment, I have a ZZ plant propagating in soil. I have a leaf that I just added probably 2-3 weeks ago. Then I have a lone baby potato (you know what I'm talking about) that I found at Lowes in the dirt. It's been in there since probably March maybe. And I thought nothing was happening but the potato has tiny roots coming out. SO I'm just trying to be really, really patient with that one.

Okay! Now I get to talk about my propagations! Like I said earlier, I have two Pothos leaves propagating. And I've heard that they stimulate root growth in other cuttings when placed together. In a tiny plastic jar, I have one small Pothos cutting that is growing pretty slowly and with it, I have four variegated Peperomia Obtusifolia leaves. These are from the pep that I had to dispose of a few weeks ago, due to pests. After treating all of my plants and propagations with water and hydrogen peroxide, I took the leaves to attempt at a new plant. This is really one plant I hope to not let go of. And two of the leaves have very tiny roots!

In a double shot glass with the other Pothos cutting, I have a cutting of an Umbrella plant. I don't know what I plan to do with this plant or if I even plan to keep it. It's just something I'm trying out. But it looked like this cutting also had a tiny root growing. However, since discovering this root (maybe), I have not seen any other changes.

This was a pretty long update, so to make it more enticing, I hope to include pictures of everyone I mentioned.
