Lookie what I caught my Bryophyllum tubiflorum doing :D He's trying to root into midair! xD I wonder if I should put another pot next to him, for those little roots to get some nutrients...that would get hard to move around though...

More bad news! :( Some of my Senecio howorthii seems rather flaccid... I think it's rotting... Its two main shoots seem ok for now...


In other news, my Echeveria melaco's flowers are finally fading...I'll probably trim the stalk once they're completely dry.

The rest of the Peperomia gravolens is looking good (for now. fingers are crossed!)


With all this rot popping up so suddenly, I've been keeping all the succulents away from water. I don't think they've been watered for two weeks now... maybe next week they'll get a drink...

It seems my Peperomia graveolens has rotted. Only one of its shoots, thankfully. :( I'm going to try to salvage it though, since I spotted it before the entire shoot was destroyed. I cut off the top with a sharp knife, and it is now drying. I think the consensus on the internet is to let it dry for a week before replanting it... we'll see how it does...

see where the stem near the root has gotten squishy?
Luckily, the majority of the plant is still ok...

My Peperomia gravolens has some new baby leaflets! They're sprouting from where some of the larger leaves fell off at Home Depot. :)

Nothing much to update really... just posting a picture of the full happy succulent garden. :)


The Bryophyllum tubiflorum (?) is still sideways, but reaching upwards... so I guess he's ok...

New!

Went to Lowes today and picked up another succulent! It's some sort of lithops. I was impressed with selection of succulents and cacti Lowes carried, but not with their care. There were many that had withered...but not my lithops! :D Here he is, in all his stone-like glory.



Also, my Bryophyllum tubiflorum (?) is wilting! Does anyone know what might have caused this? D: Too much water? Not enough light? Too cold when I bring it inside? :(

He doesn't seem to be rotting, though I suppose any rot could be below the surface...

More plants~

Ok, so these were actually some of my first succulents. I just haven't gotten pictures of them up yet. So here they are :D

Senecio howorthii -I am rather fond of this one, and keep a special eye on it, because one of its shoots rotted soon after I got it home... :( -


Portulacaria afra -I accidently knock its leaves off sometimes...are they still called leaves on a succulent?-


Sedum pachyphyllum -see the fused 'leaves'? on the right? :D-


Jovibarba heuffelii -with two 'chicks'! I will take no credit for nurturing these though :) they were there when I bought this one-
