Good job.
Keep it up. ๐

Just observed something interesting today. โ๏ธ
Around 10AM I saw that the ๐ #Celosia was half* droopy already. I watered it yesterday so I thought I'd wait a bit before I water it again. It recovered from being super* droopy, so it should still be fine. The ๐ด one was just mildly* droopy.
I didn't water them, but around 1PM I looked again and the ๐ and ๐ด were both back to being very perky.
๐คฏ!?

I got this bag of potting mix some time ago -- I wanted to plant little sunflowers from seeds but kept procrastinating. ๐
So anyway... ๐ Move the ๐ #Celosia into a bigger pot and add potting mix.
Now I'm thinking maybe I'll move both ๐ +๐ด into one bigger pot or planter.
๐คโ
To combine or not?
What do you think?

Wow. ๐ณ In less than an hour, the droopy #Celosia got all perky after watering. ๐๐
The orange one seems much* thirstier than the crimson one. It gets really* droopy. ๐คทโโ๏ธ Been needing to water it every 2 days.
I find the difference in behavior strange since, except for the color of the flowers, they look like the exact same variety. To me, anyway. #clueless #YellowThumbs #plants #EducateMePlease #CityGardening #ApartmentLiving

Just checked on my #DesertRose. ๐๐ด
Bugs or buds? ๐ถ
Those have* to be buds.
Right?
Right?!
Somebody tell me I'm right.
My eyesight can't be that bad.
๐
No more bugs, please. ๐

Everybody meet my new roommates, The #Celosias.
Relax. I haven't killed my #DesertRose, #pothos and #sansevieria. Yet. They're all still alive. ๐๐
Now I must look up how to not kill my new plants. #YellowThumbs #celosia #woolflowers #mfungu #CityGardening #ApartmentLiving

Thanks. ๐๐ The #DesertRose is getting plenty of sun, from sunrise till around noon. I've only had it for 5 weeks. It grew a good deal of new leaves till the mealybugs showed up and the leaves started falling off. ๐คทโโ๏ธ So far, no more yellowing/dropping leaves. ๐ค
It's warm here most of the year. Cool #weather is rare. Strong winds and heavy rain (and my #YellowThumbs) are quite problematic, but not cold temperatures. ๐๐

I give up. โน๏ธ๐ณ๏ธ
Somebody please tell me it'll recover on its own if I leave it alone. ๐ #YellowThumbs

Oh! ๐ฒ So I brought them in with the plant when I bought it??
I better check periodically then. Maybe there's more of them. ๐
Bummer. So I should stop buying from that vendor where I got my #DesertRose. I bought a #Vinca from them months ago, and that too had mealybugs show up on the leaves after a few weeks. Or maybe sooner, I just hadn't noticed. ๐คทโโ๏ธ That Vinca died. โน๏ธ
#desertrose #vinca #YellowThumbs #plants
Eww!! What is that on my #DesertRose?!!
๐ณ #YellowThumbs #plants
The leaves were yellowing and falling off. I thought maybe I watered too much (every 10-12 days), but upon closer inspection... I don't know what that is, but I decided it doesn't belong there.
I got out my house remedy solution + an old toothbrush. There was something under the leaves too. Sprayed and brushed as much of it off as I could.
I hope the plant doesn't mind all the spraying and the soapy solution. ๐ถ @plants

Desert Rose, meet my Mastodon neighbors. They might tease you about my #PlantCare abilities. Worry not. You're special. You'll, uh, survive my #YellowThumbs.....

I bought some fruit. ๐คช
Got a different-looking apple. It's yellow and red. ๐ Supposedly from #NewZealand. I hope it's good. I didn't find the kind that we normally buy. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Happy to say that the bananas ๐ I got are local. ๐ I wonder if the lemon ๐ is too. ๐คโ #MaybeNot
Also happy to see our government is putting a spotlight on #agriculture, giving assistance to #farmers. ๐
Life is hard. Hopefully our farmers don't tire of their job. ๐ I can't grow my own #food.

Welcome to Mastodon, Doc! ๐๐ค๐ฟ
I got #YellowThumbs and like edible mushrooms and the occasional salad greens. That's the extent of my #botany and #plants experience. ๐
@jordan
I was considering the one where the pot had 2 parts. The bottom part for water with a wick to bring water to the top where the plant is. But that means transplanting to the new pot. I'm afraid I'll just end up hurting/killing the plant. #YellowThumbs
My #hydroponics attempt was a fail. No idea if I did it right. Instruction was: let water sit, mix in 5ml of Solution A, mix in 5ml of Solution B. Days later I see yellow powdery stuff in the bottom of my li'l hydroponic tub. Dunno if that's normal. I waited. Observed. So anyway, my lettuce didn't survive. ๐
I'm now trying a Rocket Arugula grow kit. I really prefer to not deal with soil, but maybe this'll work for my #YellowThumbs. ๐คทโโ๏ธ

Hey, people ๐๐ค Anybody know if this self-watering setup is suitable for ALL* types of #plants, including those that don't require daily watering -- like #sansevieria, #pothos, #JadePlant, #MoneyPlant?

I'll be away a couple of days. These little #lettuce #plants aren't going to get any spritzing ๐ฆ while I'm gone. I hope they don't die. ๐ I do have them indoors right next to the window for plenty of sun.
My #pothos is pretty settled. It doesn't need me for another week, I think.
I've sorta given up on the #cereza. It's outside. Let the rain take care of it. It's not a baby plant anyway. ๐คทโโ๏ธ #YellowThumbs
