#crassula — Public Fediverse posts

Indoor rack has reached its final form (probably)

I upgraded the middle shelf to 65W Brim Panel As. The top shelf is already 65W, and the bottom shelf has plants like haworthias that don’t like too much light, so it will stay on 45W.

All of the panels stronger than 65W that I’ve seen have the LED driver stuck to the top of the panel, so I wouldn’t be able to fit them in here like this.

Thus: final form achieved

Big potting day today trying to get 14 plants (2 cuttings went to a friend) potted, photographed, tidy up, get frost cloth off etc.

I’m going big this week and next with ones I’ve really wanted before the money runs out and I’m out of space. It’s going to be tough to ignore the weekly sales going forward but I’m going to have to if I’m going to survive financially.

Next week will likely be my last plant mail post for a while. I’ll just have to post pics of the ones that are catching my eye instead! I’m waiting (impatiently) for my zygocactus to flower (only buds so far) so I’ll definitely be sharing when that happens!

This week’s #PlantMail newbies are:

- Echeveria Kabaldi/Prism (this is a maybe ID as the only one the seller could provide was “pink Korean hybrid”)
- Echeveria Pink Apparition
- Echeveria Chihuahuaensis x Red Velvet
- Echeveria Truffle
- Echeveria Black Crystal
- Echeveria Heather
- Aeonium Cherry Blossom (gift from a seller)
- Echeveria Lovely Bear
- Crassula Deceptor
- Echeveria Valkyrie
- Echeveria Kissing Bumps
- Echeveria Lilac Mist

Also, apologies if my alt text is not so great this week. I’m not having a good brain fog day but was really excited to share them and didn’t want to wait. It’s also really difficult to describe three very similar plants differently! If anyone wants to suggest any changes/improvements please feel free and I’ll edit it.

Yesterday's meeting of my orchid society was especially good and not just because one of my plants won a ribbon (see previous post) and we discussed the upcoming show. I got a #Dracunculus vulgaris and a #Pinguicula esseriana from one of my main plant swapping buddies; I got a starter colony of #Blaptica #dubia #roaches from another member; I picked up a #Crassula ovata, #Pachyphytum oviferum, and some sort of small #Haworthia from other members; and I sold an old glazed ceramic orchid pot.
