Made my first arraignment of plants. Just a mix of succulents and cacti from Home Depot. Bretty good, or did I fuck up? Specifically, is it too over crowded? I may be wrong, but I heard you can plant a lot in a small area.
Anyway, post your planters.
>>2068759
looks fine
there's a pervasive pink coloring on the plants which is freaking me out tho
>>2068763
It's from the fake flowers every cactus at Home Depot has glued on top. I took them off, but there's still some coloration left.
I have no idea why they do that. Literally every cactus at these shitty fake flowers glued to the top.
>>2068769
I've emailed them about it, they say they sell better that way.
I'd be a big fan of putting those colored fake flowers on some cholla and selling that to whoever likes that crap. (Or if there's a better cactus at fucking your shit up, that'd be good too.)
>>2068759
Seems good, id watch watering schedules. Bigger plants can demand more water or water more frequently than little guys.
>>2068759
I must be gay as fuck then because I love this.
>>2068811
Glad you liked it. Here's all of them I made today.
>>2068853
Is that some san pedro:^)
>>2068759
Your thread made me laugh. I don't have my camera on me, but I have all those same plants. What makes yours gay?
>>2068759
>putting cacti and other succulents in the same pot
>confirmed retard
How are you going to water this? What the crassula needs will be too much for those cacti.
My bottle garden project just watered. Need to clean em up a bit,
>>2068944
Is this guy correct? Should I separate the plants?
>>2069007
Yes in pic, made rainforest bottle succulents bottle and desert cactus bottle 1/2 Gallon
>>2069012
ah, thank you
>>2069007
Looked it up. All of them call for infrequent watering. While the cacti could probably use a bit less water, I think it should be fine.
>>2068994
that won't last long. succulents don't tolerate those humidity levels.
>>2069016
>infrequent watering
that's as vague as it gets
>I think it should be fine
It won't work in the long run.
pic related is my crassula falcata
>>2069239
Pretty plant.
I plan on transplanting them in a year or so. But for now, I think the arraignment looks nice and should last for as long as I need it.
Anyone have suggestions for small houseplants that aren't particularly sensitive to cooler temperatures?
>>2069276
How cool are you talking about?
>>2069237
first time i watered it since planting, gave it two tablespoons for three plants per 1/2 gallon container and it still condensates, kind of creates its own ecosystem with rain and clouds, I read a story about a guy who had a vine in a closed top bottle garden that was about 3 gallons watered it once 2 cups and the vine lived 40 years on just that. I haven't got the humidity level right yet so thats why the tops lids are off. I have a soil meter might check it, might not, should air out in a couple days. In each garden put half inch gravel in bottom followed by 3/4 inch of activated carbon then another 2 inches of soil. I'm hoping they last a year or two before I break them open to rescue the plants.
>>2069320
setups like that can work, but it isn't gonna work with the succulents you used. They're just going to rot.
>>2068759
I also have succulents.
I need some advice though: I have one pot with the same species as seen in the far right bundle of OP's pic, but mine are all pruny and wrinkly looking.
I water it the same as I water my other succulents and they're all fine except for this one.
>>2069327
Wasted 10 bucks, meh just an expirament, do you have expirence with bottle gardens or are just shooting shit out your ass. Could you recommend a general humidity level for soil and air. We will see if my bottle garden turns into a mold garden
>>2069569
not the guy you're replying to, but if you want to decrease humidity, you could try pumping air in
never tried it, not sure it will work, just a thought
>>2069569
Not with bottle gardens specifically, but the vast majority (all?) of succulents will rot in contant humid/wet conditions. It's not so much the bottle thats the problem, just the constant moisture.
can i get an ID on this plant? it has long vines and a large leaf.
>>2069725
dragonfruit cactus cousin.
>>2069727
i think it's a night cereus
So I've had a small cycad in my window for some 6-7 years now. However, recently I noticed some of that had been facing away from the glass have started to turn yellow (they'd turned facing the window in the pic). I'm not sure if a lack of sunlight has finally caught up to it, or the soil has run out of nutrients for it. Please send help
This fern thinks it's going to places.
I fucking love succulents and lucky for me they are found in my backyard naturally (mid Texas). My cholla was the only one bought by a friend at lowes but has grown to 4 ft before my recent transplant.
>>2075348
I haven't finished the area yet and wanted to get them rerooted before summer comes.
These two were found out hunting down the road.
>>2075351
>taking cacti from the wild
kill yourself
>>2075391
Or moving it from one side of my property to my house while actively working on its propagation so there will be more in my area. Kill YOURSELF nigger for assuming the worst. I know damn well about what is kosher and have encouraged others to take the ones that I've grown as gifts to grow on their land.
>>2068759
Arrangement looks good bro
The African split rock is one of my favorites. Mine has been around since 2009
>>2075408
There are almost no saguaros left in some of their native areas what with all the ranchers selling them to Phoenix and Vegas where they won't reproduce but, muh land, muh freedoms, muh catcusses.
Drunk friends knocked my porch cactus over, sucks too because I got it when it was about 6 inches tall and at the time it got knocked over it was about 4 feet tall, an entire foot got ripped off when it fell.
Instead of dying like I thought it would it became a man, and now it looks like a giant potted penis.
>>2077141
>it looks like a giant potted penis.
Penises look nothig like that. Look it up on Wikipedia.
>>2077143
It's just a little prick
>>2077143
>>2076918
Cool story, too bad the cactus in my pic is of a horse crippler.
>>2077163
like bugfag
>>2068759
what species is that cladonia-shaped one on the right? I need it in my life
>>2078394
Crassula ovata 'Gollum', probably. It shouldn't be very difficult to find, nor expensive.
I recently got this little succulent arrangement from Lowes as well but they didn't have any labels sadly!
Anyone know the names of the plants in here and how to take care of these little friends? Watering frequency and light preference?
>>2078404
looks like some Kalanchoe tomentosa with some Echeveria and a bit of Peperomia or something.
how do I get my succulent to get a red coloration? does it need a lot of sunlight?
I keep some tillandsias in a little terrarium. If they would bloom I would be more sure I'm doing well with them, but they seem to be staying alive at the very least. Maybe in the summer they will do something. I'm considering adding a critter like a mantis to the tank, but in no rush
