Echeveria black prince July - Nov 2024

update on my adansonii! may 2024 > august 2024 > now (november 2024)

The wall a year ago and today 

So I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for struggling plants, and my heart went out to this umbrella tree from my office. The former occupant of that office never took great care of it to start off with, then ended up working from home full-time during Covid and never came back to the office.

I wish I’d taken a picture of it in its original state. It had a couple of other very leggy branches that had withered away, was covered in dead leaves and its soil was also thickly blanketed in dead leaves.

So the first pic is after I’d already pruned off the dead branches, picked off all the dead leaves & cleaned its pot of dead leaves and debris. Leaving exactly nine living leaves left on the plant.

Then I got it on a regular watering schedule, along with fertilizing it once a month. Eventually, after it finally started some new growth after a couple months of this, I took it home. A year later, and it’s thriving.

I did end up trimming off the one extra-long leggy branch after taking it home, but it promptly shot out two new healthy branches. And in the last pic, you can see that the one solitary survivor leaf that was on the remaining original branch is still there!

Top left is Oct 2023, below that is Dec 2023, & the larger pics are from today. Love these clovers, they fold up at night to 'sleep' and open when the light turns on. Neat.

A wandering jew/dude was a little neglected in my house so beginning of July I trimmed the live pieces and replanted them and have been very dedicated watering it and checking on the little cuttings. Some are definitely blossoming!! Hoping to get a full healthy plant 🪴 back.

My Monstera grew so much in less than a year!

Bought in December 2020. Even after trimming multiple times throughout its growth, it has grown so much 💚
