Kalanchoe luciae

I've had this plant for quite some time.  It keeps growing taller and taller, so I decided to try my hand at beheading! This plant already had two babies growing at the base of the stem, so I have high hopes that I will get a couple new plants. I'm not sure how the head will do though! I had to pull off (more like rip off!) many leaves to get enough stem to plant.

The stem of the beheaded luciae has started to grow tons of babies on it!

Hoya Blooms

My Hoya carnosa finally bloomed tonight! It's been working on flowering since 12/22/15! It took nearly a month to flower!

Many of the buds fell off just before blooming. I wonder if I stressed it out or if that's pretty normal. It was in a pretty high traffic area, so the buds may have been brushed off. I'm not too sure.
