Here’s a new addition to my plant world. It’s a Peperomia Incana AKA Felted Peperomia. Its leaves are fuzzy. If you zoom in on (especially) the darker leaves, you should see the small white hairs that make it fuzzy.
@Twizzlers this is for you, hope you’re enjoying your evening
Sooo, I went to Home Depot 1 last time to get a couple more plant pots, I refused to even look to the side at all their plants. But, on the floor in front of me were all the snake plants, plus this 3 foot red beauty I’ve never heard of!
Somehow it convinced me to take him home. It’s called a Cordyline fruticosa, or common name Ti plant. It belongs to the Dracaena family, and it’s belief is it brings good luck and good fortune. It was marked $19.99, but I found out at the register it was on sale for $14.88. The good fortune already working!
NO MORE HOME DEPOT FOR ME! But I have to say, they have a huge selection of plants at great prices, so never say never.
They do. We’re the second or third sunniest city in the US, you often see them on the roofs of parking structures etc. Frankly they should be on top of every single building in the city.
I had looked into it for my greenhouse but it wasn’t terribly practical.
I didn’t have a pot to fit the new Ti plant, it’s in its nursery pot & was sitting inside a black plastic bucket. So I taped a stripe on the bucket and spray painted the rest in white. Looks good from across the room, lol.
Can you give me any tips on growing venus fly traps as ive not had much luck with them over the years . Also im looking for sundews as never grown them before ?
As much bright light as you can give them. Never top water, should be sitting in a bowl of water about 1/2" deep. Not tap water - distilled or reverse osmosis water only. No fertilizer, ever.
Re: sundews…I’m on the other side of the world so can’t really help you with where you can get them.
There is one at my office that I’m trying to nurse back to health. It’s pretty sparse but the new growth looks healthy! It’s a low maintenance plant but didn’t do well being completely neglected!
And those growths on my tephrocactus are now almost certainly flowers! There’s too many for it to be new segments. So, first time with flowers on this one
