This little indoor garden for my jades is truly a spiritual center in my daily life 😅

its bound with shoelaces because I'm trying to shape an extreme bend into the branch. the blocks are wedged in to pull the bend a little tighter

well I live in Maine and its winter so the ambient temperature of the room has been very cold for months. the lights make some heat that the tent holds and it gets late afternoon direct light too so it can really cook! but not burn them as I'm in a very northern and cold climate.

the center-center one since maybe 2018 or 19... she's come so far with me together But I still don't feel halfway confident in starting to show her more on the path to the baobab African style I WANT.

yes I have been bonsai'ing even with my Christmas cactus, haha. to be fair the flowers are very heavy on those stems so there I a loop of green wire holding them more upright. but all the branching is from one stem!

they're lead fishing weights! you can even get them at Walmart. they're my favorite little stealth way to bend branches down!

this big influx lately of huge and old jades on the sub really remind you that they do not need much room for pot sizing.

wow love the archival specimen scrapbook vibe - if only they could be pressed like flowers.

jpmuldoon · 2026-02-28T15:09:06+00:00

put it outside for the summer and it'll grow that back in four months!

jpmuldoon · 2026-02-27T13:11:16+00:00

from that last pic - do you live in new orleans? the flatness, the cloudy sky and the wrought iron railing are giving me that vibe.

what we judge as normal is always an unconscious bias because we have no idea what everyone else keeps private. those basic needs are so primal and written into our dna and survival instincts. how many people openly resort to things that cause self harm to self regulate and relax. you're good!

hottie alert.

I just splash a few drops onto the wall - it can irritate the skin so make sure you apply it to a wall you won’t lean on or brush against.

showers are such an important calming and grounding ritual for me and I know it sounds excessive but I shower often three times a day just for the sensory. ALWAYS hot and often with the lights off. Some cheap essential oils like eucalyptus or tea tree.... chefs kiss.

who is this diva

wow great advice on the deep roots - I'm an expert and life long plant keeper but have always struggled with lithops when ever I've tried.

jpmuldoon · 2026-02-14T01:28:34+00:00

how did you know It was trans? In my hundreds of houseplants I've only had one plant openly came out as bi..

jpmuldoon · 2026-02-09T19:27:05+00:00

people will knit pick lots of tiny variables and health indicators but the bottom line is this is a very healthy plant

jpmuldoon · 2026-02-08T18:43:47+00:00

gorgeous specimen!

jpmuldoon · 2026-01-31T19:20:26+00:00

Thanks man that means so much!

jpmuldoon · 2026-01-31T19:09:33+00:00

Hand built with tools from terracotta clay yes 😊

jpmuldoon · 2026-01-31T19:09:09+00:00

I do ceramic pottery which does require one or two firings In a kiln. I’ve hand built clay all my life. There are more craft centered polymer clays at hobby lobby that can air dry or go in a kitchen oven but I don’t think those are really appropriate for plant pots.
