new plant babies



Don't label the succulent species that's cool I'll just do whatever -_-







North American pitcher plant, about the size of my hand, so handsome ~*@3@*~
It's the time of year where they're dormant and dry up so that's no biggie.
It'll have purple veins in the new growth.




Lithops!! Willow I will get yours to you soon don't think I forgot :3




Aloe flower eeeee it's like a foot tall while the plant is like an 2" wide it's crazy



I tore out the pepper plants in those pots so I'm trying something
L-R seeds for Swiss rainbow chard, kale, cockscomb, eggplant
MAYBE OH GAWD WHAT AM I DOING




The habonero plant Gideon chopped up is magically still alive and in the best shape of the peppers! The base of the stem that he cut isn't quite cut all the way through so it's still getting fluid to the leaves and not withering. So it's hanging down the side of the pot, it's pretty. but WTF for real.

To start growing new peppers I need a heating mat but fuck those are expensive. hrm....

I initially started buying plants small or as seeds because of budget, but now I've developed a philosophy that separates having plants vs gardening, decoration vs activity. It doesn't really count in my head if I get a big healthy plant and just have it, especially if it gets really shitty and dies, which would be terrible. If I can keep something alive and let it grow then it's growth is on account of me, and that's the important part.

I have this quirk where I'm more likely to remember to take care of the plants if there's MANY so it's like OH GAWD THE STAKES ARE HIGH.

Made a ghetto sprinkly watering can for the seeds out of a pepsi bottle and stabbing holes in it.

Also bird vs greenhouse (greenshelves?) plastic lololol
