Ah, yes yes... 👀
Looking good.
Very good.
Good job.
Keep it up. 👍

😂!

You need to grow more more more... 🪴🪴🪴
There are other people like me*, you know.
And people like you* gotta help make up for our failings.

Oh my goodness oh my goodness oh my goodness... 😲!

I woke up to this outside my window. 👇

Finally!
Flowers!! 😊

Well, good morning there, beautiful! 🥰🌹

Just observed something interesting today. ☝️

Around 10AM I saw that the 🟠 #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 🔴 one was just mildly* droopy.

I didn't water them, but around 1PM I looked again and the 🟠 and 🔴 were both back to being very perky.

🤯!?

🤷‍♀️ #plants #PlantCare #YellowThumbs

@JauneBaguette
I got this bag of potting mix some time ago -- I wanted to plant little sunflowers from seeds but kept procrastinating. 😅

So anyway... 📝 Move the 🟠 #Celosia into a bigger pot and add potting mix.

Now I'm thinking maybe I'll move both 🟠+🔴 into one bigger pot or planter.

🤔❔
To combine or not?
What do you think?
#YellowThumbs #plants #PlantCare #CityGardening #ApartmentLiving

Wow. 😳 In less than an hour, the droopy #Celosia got all perky after watering. 😃👍

The orange one seems much* thirstier than the crimson one. It gets really* droopy. 🤷‍♀️ 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. 🔎🌴

Bugs or buds? 😶

Those have* to be buds.
Right?
Right?!
Somebody tell me I'm right.
My eyesight can't be that bad.
😅

No more bugs, please. 🙏

Everybody meet my new roommates, The #Celosias.

Relax. I haven't killed my #DesertRose, #pothos and #sansevieria. Yet. They're all still alive. 😃👍

Now I must look up how to not kill my new plants. #YellowThumbs #celosia #woolflowers #mfungu #CityGardening #ApartmentLiving

@jblue
Thanks. 🙂🙏 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. 🤷‍♀️ So far, no more yellowing/dropping leaves. 🤞

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. 😃👍

#Philippines #CityGardening #ApartmentLiving

Just checked my #DesertRose again.
I give up. ☹️🏳️

Somebody please tell me it'll recover on its own if I leave it alone. 😐 #YellowThumbs

@Kiki
Oh! 😲 So I brought them in with the plant when I bought it??

I better check periodically then. Maybe there's more of them. 😕

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. 🤷‍♀️ That Vinca died. ☹️

#YellowThumbs #plants

Eww!! What is that on my #DesertRose?!!
😳 #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. 😶 @plants

Oh, forgot to introduce y'all! 😃

Everybody, meet my new roommate #DesertRose.

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.....

🤞😅
#plants @plants #ApartmentLiving

You kinda* know me by now.
So I'll just say,
before anything else...

Don't laugh,

Please don't die. 🙃

#plants #YellowThumbs 😅

I bought some fruit. 🤪

Got a different-looking apple. It's yellow and red. 🍎 Supposedly from #NewZealand. I hope it's good. I didn't find the kind that we normally buy. 🤷‍♀️

Happy to say that the bananas 🍌 I got are local. 😋 I wonder if the lemon 🍋 is too. 🤔❔ #MaybeNot

Also happy to see our government is putting a spotlight on #agriculture, giving assistance to #farmers. 🙏

Life is hard. Hopefully our farmers don't tire of their job. 😕 I can't grow my own #food.

#YellowThumbs 🤷‍♀️

@dr_norb
Welcome to Mastodon, Doc! 👋🤓🌿

I got #YellowThumbs and like edible mushrooms and the occasional salad greens. That's the extent of my #botany and #plants experience. 😅

@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. 😁

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. 🤷‍♀️

#plants #edibles #CityGardening

Hey, people 👋🤓 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?

#EducateMePlease #clueless #YellowThumbs #indoorplants #IndoorGardening @plants

I'll be away a couple of days. These little #lettuce #plants aren't going to get any spritzing 💦 while I'm gone. I hope they don't die. 😕 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. 🤷‍♀️ #YellowThumbs
