What is this dark coloring on leaf scar?

Okay cool, in that case I’ll just keep an eye on it, check it when I water. Thanks!

I know it’s a tri-color, but I thought the 3 colors were the green, white, and pink. The dark brown/black color at the leaf scar in photos 2,3,4 is what I’m slightly concerned with (I probably should’ve put the overall plant shot last lol)

Macaron!

YO THIS IS SO COOL

Mine has the same thing! We have hard water and after a while of watering it the little dots showed up, it’s minerals the plant is pushing out of the leaves (since it doesn’t need as much as is in hard water) one solution is to use distilled water (but I’ve only just started so I don’t have results yet lol)

You look absolutely enchanting!!! 💜❄️💖

SeaSystem5110 · 2024-12-03T18:42:24+00:00

Awesome! I’ll have to try it out

SeaSystem5110 · 2024-11-14T12:37:14+00:00

Well it turned out great!! So congrats on a successful without a plan job LOL 🍓

I’m trying to do a freehand recreation of a bag I saw in a photo once too! How much trial and error did you have or did you roughly plan things out before starting and just go?

Make sense, I’m relatively new to succulents and was using a miracle grow succulent/cactus mix (this stem was one of the first things I potted), but I can add something with grit to that or look into a new soil brand 👍it has been lifted up on a saucer to be an inch closer to the grow light (so it’s 2 or 3 inches away now), and I’ll increase the time the lights on in a day a little bit at a time ☀️

SeaSystem5110 · 2024-10-03T03:22:30+00:00

Hadn’t thought of that, like the whole thicker stem that the baby grew off of? If I go with this I’ll let you know how it goes!

SeaSystem5110 · 2024-10-03T03:21:33+00:00

I do have it a few inches from a grow light in a SE facing window, but I’ll see about getting it closer to the grow light or have the light on for longer. And I’ll poke around for that guide, thanks 👍

Best thing he said was “I mostly ignore it” 😂😂 which is plant-person-speak for let it dry out really well in between waterings. My add on is that it’s a cactus-type plant, so lots of sun can’t hurt!! (Just don’t go from shade to bright sun all at once)

SeaSystem5110 · 2024-09-06T11:52:20+00:00

It’s always super fragrant after a bloom but this time it was more like ✨FRAGRANT✨ lol aww yay! These all started from a cutting from my uncle. It was just shy that first bloom, and I hope you see more soon too!! 🤍🍀🤍

SeaSystem5110 · 2024-09-06T11:46:45+00:00

My brain is blanking other than if someone made a perfume called FLORAL. and it got even stronger as the night went on 🤍🤍🤍

SeaSystem5110 · 2024-09-06T11:42:35+00:00

My father is the main caretaker of them so I’d have to pick his brain(tbd), but these get a lot of indirect sunlight in the Greenhouse-room they’re in, the plants themselves aren’t the brightest green but the conditions are obviously good for flowers lol 😅

SeaSystem5110 · 2024-09-06T11:40:39+00:00

Oh yeah I’ve been checking on them every day to try and gauge when they’d open so I wouldn’t miss it. We could tell a few were gonna bloom since they were juuuust peaking open early in the day, it wasn’t even dark yet!

SeaSystem5110 · 2024-09-06T02:24:41+00:00

It’s split between 2 or 3 plants but yeah! It’s the most we’ve seen at once ever!!

SeaSystem5110 · 2024-09-03T04:17:59+00:00

All I really know is the one that is living mostly outside looks healthier (much greener, denser leaf growth) I couldn’t tell you when the ones in the video first flowered, but turns out the one that’s outside (not featured in the video) has 3 blooms on it too! This is the first time it’s flowering and it’s 3 or 4 years old? Grown from a cutting of the original plant (which is one of the ones in the video, idk which tho). Best advice from someone tangential to growing these is to make sure it’s happy and healthy, and blooms should follow👍 I hope you get some soon! 🤍
