Rain

Here's one of my Kalanchoe after being rained on.

New Additions!

I got two Haworthias. One of them is a truncata variation. I've wanted a truncata for such a long time! I totally don't mind that it's a Whirlpool variety! I also got a tesselatta as well, which is absolutely beautiful!

I also got an absolutely gorgeous Graptopetalum paraguayense variegated.

I got one more Stapelia to add to my collection. This one has yellow starfish looking flowers compared to the hairy red fleshy flowers my other two have.

Lastly, I have this weird looking guy that has thick fleshy leaves, and an almost euphorbia looking bulbous trunk. It's called Monadenium ritchei.

Two New Euphorbias

I got two new Euphorbias today.

I got a Tanzanian Zipper Plant or Euphorbia anoplia. It had so many little babies in it, so I repotted a few into different pots. When I took it out of it's original pot though, there were so many more new babies trying to grow up out of the soil! I'm certain this guy will be one of my more prolific growers if I can keep it happy!

I also got a crested Medusa's Head or Euphorbia flaniganii. I'm pretty excited to start my crested collection with this guy!

New Succulents

I've been feeling crummy for the last couple months, and also had to watch my spending. I'm finally feeling a bit of relief from both, so I went out and got myself a few new succulents!

The one on the left is a bulb! I didn't know succulents could be bulbs. How interesting is that?

New Stapelia

I got a new stapelia very recently. I just couldn't pass up how cute this little guy is! I'm pretty sure it's a Stapelia scitula. Her flowers are tiny as well as her stems. Just adorable!

Propagation Progress

It's been a while since I made cuttings from my plants. They are all sufficiently calloused so I potted them all up today. I put them on a shady part of my porch so they won't be overwhelmed. I think they look very handsome next to my pots of freshly sprouting leaf cuttings!

2015 Succulent Propagation

It's been a few years since I've gone out of my way to make as many cuttings as I could comfortably fit in my home! This year I'm trying again on plants that didn't work out for me before, and new ones I haven't tried as well as some oldies but goodies. Here are a couple pictures of my current propagation project!

In the top container I have leaves from my Pearl von Nurnberg, sunset seedum, anacampseros, and a few other plants I've not identified. In the bottom container I have leaves from my burros tail, and a couple varieties of stacked crassula. I have no idea if the latter will do anything at all. I had to snap the joined leaves in half in order to pull them off the cuttings. I figured instead of tossing them, I'd try rooting them.

In this box I have some cuttings out to dry from my crown of thorns, bears paw, stapelia, three varieties of stacked crassula, and a burrows tail plant.
