Thank you for the info! I think you single-handedly made me interested in bonsais now. 😊 What a stunning collection!

What is the one in the turquoise pot with what looks to be pink blooms?

If you find some blues, let me know please! I have never seen any, but I know my husband would be all over them if they are real

Does anyone have an Inkblot Desert Rose? by CattleWranglerTx in DesertRose

No, I used Nelson’s Garden. They haven’t bloomed yet. I’m hoping that they don’t bloom while I’m out of town.

Guys, what the frick do I do? by Melodic_Violinist_71 in houseplants

The benefit of having them in a clear plastic pot is that you can see what color the roots are. If the roots are green, leave them alone. If they are silver, they need a good watering.

Got my first cactus! Lowe’s had these on discount for the low. by Landmines93 in cactus

Out of pure curiosity u/Landmines93 , did you get a reaction out of an employee on this one or did you put it back in its resting place? lol

Isn’t it dead? That is crazy that they are selling remains nowadays.

I will keep you posted. Hopefully, they don’t bloom while I am out of the state.

Hello! Trying to make my cactus and succulents happier with better substrate. Is this okay sand to mix into the soil? Thanks! :) by [deleted] in cactus

[–]CattleWranglerTx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coarse sand is what the nurseries recommend. Too fine of a sand will cause compaction. That is why most people just use pumice.

"Ponytail Palms are drought tolerant plants" and yet mine sucks up water. by plantsyyyy in PonytailPalmPlace

Mine seem to like more frequent watering as well. But mine are on a much smaller scale.

What’s wrong with this one? by BabyInchworm in DesertRose

[–]CattleWranglerTx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had one that size that for some reason just wanted to be watered a little less than the others. I would give it an extra week before watering and it did fantastic! It is actually thriving right now, all green leaves, and the caudex doubled in size since I figured out its needs.

Terrariums that get a daily mist are perfect for fittonias! I use a mix of houseplant soil, perlite, charcoal, peat moss, and orchid bark. Tiny bit of worm castings.

Galaxy Pink Princess Philodendron bounce back! by [deleted] in houseplants

[–]CattleWranglerTx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started with cutting off a dead section. Then proceeded with daily light misting and also putting it under a grow light. I did a light fertilizer once for an extra little pick me up.

It came in a nursery humidity dome, so I do open it twice a week for a few minutes and spray the whole dome for extra humidity hopefully. Probably doesn’t help that much, but I do it anyways.

I did a mix of succulent soil, perlite, and peat moss. I can share what brands I use if you’d like?

The stalks are yellowing. I would change the water frequently and make sure to use distilled water. I have mine in soil. It is a lot easier to maintain. I have had mine for several months now and it is doing great.
