More new plants…I stood no chance today, although there were plenty others I wanted so some restraint was used :sweat_smile:

I keep my plant budget at half my part-time job check, maximum. Thankfully the employee discount is great. So…TREAT YOSELF.

Walking through the store today among our hundreds of new tropical plants had me feeling like I was in “Predator”.

Pachira Aquatica, AKA Money Tree

Adenium Obesum, AKA Desert Rose! Such amazing plants. I’ve been eyeballing our big ones but they’re all ~$75. We got baby ones in so I jumped on it! One which can be planted outside once I have a yard to do it in, so consider it an investment. Yes, that’s what we’ll call it.

Got another baby desert rose yesterday.

The one I got last weekend will produce white flowers. Yesterday’s purchase, red flowers.

Trying to figure out if I want to let them grow unchecked into big, mighty trees…or if I want to bonsai them :thinking:

And this pachypodium a customer bought yesterday had me majorly jealous. What a beauty.

Also, my new pictus splash pothos (which I really need to untangle some more).

I love how the leaves are more like satin instead of waxy/glossy.

I am terrified but I am going to have a go at air layering…

Look at this insanity!!! G and I have been having a good chuckle because before she sprouted this massive leaf he’d said. “Her leaves arent that big…” and I had defnded her… " shes super young, give her time…"

I’LL SHOW YOU!

I have never known a plant to take so much time and care to bloom.


It must take so much effort because she is not only giving me muliple flowers on each bloom but a beautiful leaf as well!

Two weekends in a row I came home with baby desert roses, so I guess it’s only suiting I came home with a mature one today. Grown and raised by a local horticultural “celebrity”, he’s well-known across the country for his work with adeniums like this.

Would usually go for $100+
Perks of working “in the biz”, hooked it for $25 :partying_face:

Gorgeous! And what a hookup you’ve got there - envious!

Will you be able to repot that little one coming out the bottom in the second picture? Will it be like the aloe and give you babies?

No, this one doesn’t work like that. They are both succulents, but adeniums are more like trees. Those protrusions are the branches

Desperate times call for desperate measures…I neglected my Peperomia Obtusifolia and it got leggy and pale, so I’m starting over with cuttings of what looks healthiest.

The succulent propagations are doing way better than anticipated! Here’s hoping the cold dark winter in an old drafty house doesn’t kill them.
