Just observed something interesting today. โ˜๏ธ

Around 10AM I saw that the ๐ŸŸ  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 ๐Ÿ”ด one was just mildly* droopy.

I didn't water them, but around 1PM I looked again and the ๐ŸŸ  and ๐Ÿ”ด were both back to being very perky.

๐Ÿคฏ!?

I got this bag of potting mix some time ago -- I wanted to plant little sunflowers from seeds but kept procrastinating. ๐Ÿ˜…

So anyway... ๐Ÿ“ Move the ๐ŸŸ  into a bigger pot and add potting mix.

Now I'm thinking maybe I'll move both ๐ŸŸ +๐Ÿ”ด into one bigger pot or planter.

๐Ÿค”โ”
To combine or not?
What do you think?

Wow. ๐Ÿ˜ณ In less than an hour, the droopy got all perky after watering. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘

The orange one seems much* thirstier than the crimson one. It gets really* droopy. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏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.

Thanks. ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ™ The 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. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ So far, no more yellowing/dropping leaves. ๐Ÿคž

It's warm here most of the year. Cool is rare. Strong winds and heavy rain (and my ) are quite problematic, but not cold temperatures. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘

Oh! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ So I brought them in with the plant when I bought it??

I better check periodically then. Maybe there's more of them. ๐Ÿ˜•

Bummer. So I should stop buying from that vendor where I got my . I bought a 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. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ That Vinca died. โ˜น๏ธ

Eww!! What is that on my ?!!
๐Ÿ˜ณ

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. ๐Ÿ˜ถ @plants

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.

My 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. ๐Ÿ˜

I'm now trying a Rocket Arugula grow kit. I really prefer to not deal with soil, but maybe this'll work for my . ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

I'll be away a couple of days. These little aren't going to get any spritzing ๐Ÿ’ฆ while I'm gone. I hope they don't die. ๐Ÿ˜• I do have them indoors right next to the window for plenty of sun.

My is pretty settled. It doesn't need me for another week, I think.
