I thought I had lost all of my tradescantia zebrina when I left it out and there was a frost overnight. I had taken the big bowl shaped pot out for the summer but also transplanted a bit into a hanging planter with other fall foliage. Well that bit survived! I brought the planter into the garage and then forgot about it for over a week. Went and saw my pretty “wandering dudette” was looking gorgeous, so now she has a pretty pot of her own and is safely inside.

In my country we call thes little plants “levende steentjes” (living stones). I had them sometimes but they always died

That’s a pretty common name for them here as well.
You’re not alone in that, until this attempt I had stayed away from them for nearly 2 years because they’re so sensitive. My little joke is that if you sneeze in the same room as them at the wrong time of year, they’re over-watered.

Been on a total plant bender lately.
I just say I’m doing my part to support local businesses.
Got these first 3 over the weekend.
Aloe erinacea
Shoutout to the cool rock I found to pair with it
Euphorbia ammak variegata
I have a standard e. ammak (dark green), but the variegated ones are just so cool. They are often marbled in appearance, which this one has spots of, but ultimately it’s nearly completely white/very light green. Couldn’t say no.
Haworthia reticulata
One of my lithops arrangements also began blooming
Really proud of this photo in particular
Lastly, there was a neighborhood plant swap in my 'hood on Saturday morning. I brought 13 or 14 plants to give away.
Mine were all gone in 15 minutes, lol. Several went to kids, which is pretty cool. Felt good to spread some joy (and, perhaps selfishly, to free up some real estate in my greenhouse, heh)
EDIT to say - the one in the middle in this photo is NOT La Gordita. I’d never let her go. Same species of plant, but a lesser specimen.

Thelocactus Rinconsensis Freudenbergeri
Not new, got it about a year/year and a half ago. Wasn’t coming out of winter dormancy so I repotted it in…August?
Now it’s waking up and sporting new growth…but will just go right back into dormancy shortly, lol. Just means she has a head start on next growing season.
Another “new pot, who dis?”
Aloe “Raspberry Ruffles” (does not have a Latin name as it was created in cultivation, not a naturally-occuring plant).
Started off as one plant a year ago, has grown into multiple offsets with super vibrant color. Repotted this weekend into the cool pot I got for free out of the plant swap last weekend. Needed something blue-ish to look good in this pot, think it works great.
This one is new.
Fenestraria Rhopalophylla - “Baby Toes”
I have stayed away from these for my entire 10 years or so growing plants. They’ve a reputation for being very temperamental, but I caved and decided to give 'em a whirl. Too cool not too.
Got this awesome bowl from a local antique mall and drilled a few holes in the bottom.

Hi all,
New here and am so happy to find this thread! I love plants and find that taking care of them keeps me occupied and watching their growth is so rewarding.
You all have beautiful babies!

Hi Kate,
Welcome, post some of your green babies if you want.
I’m the one with only green fingertips, on one hand, sometimes

Haha. Same here. I have a few and want a million more, but I’m not the best plant mom out there. Glad I found this thread though!
