The Plant Thread

[Ponyfan]

I'm glad everyone likes the weekly photos of the plants. I wonder sometimes if people get bored seeing them. 

The Ficus has 2 leaves that are starting to yellow. 

Your snake plant looks great BC.

I brought all the plants in to the sunroom except the mints.  It's supposed to freeze in the next few nights. I think the mints will be okay. They'll probably go dormant.

My String of Pearls succulent is dying

[Beldarna]

Oh, no! Any idea why?

[BlackCurtains]

I might have overwatered them and because it sits so close to the soil it's rotting, is my guess. I lifted what was left of it up and put more stones around it. I hope it helps. I didn't mean to give them so much water but I used the sprayer from the sink and accidentally turned the faucet on too high before I realized it and could shut it off. The rest of them seem okay.

[Ponyfan]

I'm sorry your String of Pearls succulent is dying BC  I hope you can save it.

No new pics of the mints this week as it's cold and I don't want to go out there and get pictures of them right now.

I don't know if the plants will survive in the sunroom or not.

I like the pictures I wish I could share pictures of mine, but it's so much annoyance getting them from phone to PC now. I can't upload them direct.

All the plants that winter inside are now inside. The spider plants are huge. I cut off all their runners before they came in. They've already grown a bunch of new ones. I swear they're using them to watch the TV, since they're poked around the curtain in that direction, not towards the window light.

Poinsettia is her usual grumpy self. Nikolai is looking a lot better now that we've sorted out his pot and his leaves are growing more healthily.

Have so much work to do in the garden. So far avoiding all of it.

[Beldarna]

BC, I hope the added stones help. Would hate for that beautiful piece to die completly.

[BlackCurtains]

Ponyfan, wow you have great light in the sunroom! The ficus pic looks so professional

Taffeta, I'm glad your plants are so healthy

Thanks Beldarna. Me too.

[Ponyfan]

Thanks everyone.   BC, I'm flattered that you think the ficus pic looks professional.  I feel like I just dabble in photography and I always find flaws in my pics.

I think the heater in the sunroom was drying the ficus out.   Several leaves died and fell off.  I moved it from on top of the box, further away from the heater.

The lavender looks a little scraggily, but it also seems to have new flower buds?

All of your plants look lovely!

The String of Pearls is dead and my mini cactus is all moldy and falling apart I bought a new String of Pearls to replace the other one, now I need another cactus or a different succulent to put in its spot. The other four succulents are doing okay though. A couple of the bottom leaves fell of the jade plant but I think it was because they were closer to the soil.

Where the String of Pearls was.

What's left of the cactus.

I don't know what the tubular one is called but I hope the brown spots go away.

[Beldarna]

Oh, no!

[Ponyfan]

I think the Ficus is dying.   More leaves fell off today. 

The strawberry plant has two tiny strawberries  I'll try to get a pic.  I hope they grow a little bigger.

Ficuses has these strange phases sometimes where all the leaves fall off and it looks dead, just for them to return a couple of weeks later. Mine has done so twice with a couple of years inbetween. So don't feel disheartened and if all leaves fall, don't throw it away, just water it as you do and tend to it as normal .

[BlackCurtains]

My new String of Pearls came and the seller threw in a freebie Unfortunately, the jade plant lost all its leaves. Here's the new group.

And the rest of the gang. The Benlet on the left isn't going to make it, and Ben didn't perk up like usual after a good soak. The spider and snake plants are doing great. The two palms haven't changed much.
