Tonight I split a rex begonia that was over-growing and I got 5 plants out out one. I also split the spider plant, which had 3 crowns instead of one. I also put down some Peperomia leaves to see if I can get any babies.
I found an aphid on a plant. Devastating, I know. But appearantly if you have alot of houseplants you will see them eventually. So I went out and got a pint of Malathion, and mixed some up, and sprayed down my african violets. Take that, aphids!
I think thats it. I have baby cacti everywhere, so I will have plenty to sell and trade. And I am thinking of doing a dish garden, or a desert type box garden to mimic the natural enivoment of cacti and succulents.
The tangerine seeds are doing well, and I have baby trees. Im happy to see that they took off. And the coleus I grew from seed it thriving.. maybe my black thumb is turning brown.

I think some of my cactus seeds are doing something! So far I just see little bits of white underneath where seed casings are being pushed up. It’s a start! I just posted a picture of my “desert in a bowl” over on my blog. I’ve had a lot of fun with it, except one of my cats is obsessed with digging in the sand. I have a squirt bottle on hand at all times!
