We're rescuing this #jadeplant from my MIL
😢
I would love to get some advice from someone knowledgeable about jades. 🙏
It was being kept outside in the shade, so only indirect light. We're in N TX == 100 degrees for the last several weeks. I believe she was watering it very frequently.
The last time I saw it was a couple months ago, and it was gorgeous.
Help! What do?

Been a while. Lets do a new #introduction post.

I'm Erika, a Canadian with a cat, a husband, and my first baby on the way (due in October). :queercat_autism: :queercat_enby: :queercat_ace: :QueerCat_Bisexual:

2026 has been a year of big changes for me. I lost someone close to me, been #Pregnant every day of the year so far, started a new job, and will be moving into my new home in the next month or two. I'm looking forward to re-watching Twin Peeks with my husband in the newborn sleep-deprived trenches.

Hobbies at the top of my mind right now are writing to #PenPals, #Reading, #Journaling, #Knitting, and figuring out my ideal use of #ObsidianMD. I also enjoy all sorts of #Crafting such as #Crochet, #CrossStitch, #SlowStitching, #Mending, #NeedleFelting, and #BookBinding. I do a lot of the #Cooking and #Baking in my home since I don't have a commute outside of my cat tripping me on my way to and from my office. Other things I spend my time on include #TarotReading, #FountainPens, #DnD, #SoloRPG, #HousePlants, #CozyGames. I'm really looking forward to getting back to #WeightLifiting and my usual #Yoga.

I'm still a #Salesforce consultant, focused on not-for-profits. And, of course, I like ants.

💚

Your bi-yearly tip on #anthurium care. If you want to extend the red colour - snip off the yellow spadix, once the flower(looks like a leaf) turns fully red. That extends the red for much longer.
This particular plant(we have several of these) was gifted to my Mom from a former Filipino coworker. Mom loves this particular anthurium because it's the biggest & healthiest out of all the ones we have. It's a good indoor air filtration plant.
*Keep pets away from it.*

I bought three $1 succulents from the clearance section of a local big box store a few days ago, and today I potted them all and found they're in excellent health...

so I'm going back at 10 pm on a Sunday to buy the entire rest of the clearance succulent rack.

I *am* taking questions at this time, primarily if the questions are "why are you so awesome," "how many succulents are there," and "are you going to name them."

I cut the #spadix off from my #anthurium plants, once foliage turns bright red, to prolong the life & colour on my lipstick plants.

Moved 4 of my flamingo flower plants outdoors for Summer open air time.

#FlamingoFlower is good at absorbing airborne chemicals released by common cleaning products & general pollutants. It's particularly good at absorbing harmful chemicals like ammonia & formaldehyde from the air.

Be careful if you have cats who love houseplants because it's toxic to felines. Asher has no interest in any houseplants so we are quite lucky because most cats like to sniff/chew on houseplants. He avoids the houseplants & only likes his little cat grass pot. Don't keep these in your home if your cat is obsessed with plants.

I found a really effective and safe method of getting rid of spider mites on your houseplants and seedlings that I want to share with you here:

The agent used is Potassium-based liquid soap (all liquid soaps are made with Potassium Hydroxide or KOH). Ideally, you'd find a "horticultural soap" or "insecticidal soap" that doesn't contain fragrances or other additives, but most plants, even young seedlings, will tolerate a bit of that with the method I'll describe and if you buy the cheapest soap dispenser refills you can find they won't have much of the additives anyway or there wouldn't be any profit in selling it.

Anyway, what you do is make a whole lot of foam out of your liquid soap. Use high pressure water hose or similar over uneven surface that you squirted your liquid soap over. Once you've got your foam nice and thick, start coating your plants with it, also from underneath the leaves and try not to let too much of it fall onto your soil / substrate / growth medium. Thick enough foam should stick to leaves where you applied it. Do this in the shade of course and let your plants remain covered in foam for 5-10 minutes, then gently wash it off with water. Let the plants dry up in shade before moving them back to where you keep them. Do not let the plants sit covered in foam for too long and wash it off while it's still a thick foam. You don't want too much of that to leak into your growth medium (but a bit of it should be fine).

And that's it. You'd have washed off most of the spider mites because liquid soaps are also "surfactants" i.e. they make the water less viscous which will make it reach into the crevasses it otherwise wouldn't and make the surfaces too slippery for insects to cling to. Your plants will now also be covered with a very thin film of KOH-based solution (Potassium is lethal to soft-bodied insects). It will kill both adult spider mites as well as their tiny eggs they deposit underneath the leaves. And the surface of your plants will be too bitter for pests to feed on for a minimum of a week after you've applied the foam, possibly longer. But do inspect your plants on occasion for mite damage and see if you have to apply the soapy foam again. Other, larger insects such as moths, bees and beetles visiting your plants can, involuntarily, carry stowaway spider mites on their bodies back onto your plants as they collected the mites from other plants they visit.

Obviously, this should only be done on plants that you don't intend to eat and/or before they start flowering and developing edible fruits, but your plants should tolerate this treatment well, even seedlings of soft-leaved plants (e.g. pepper, tomato, eggplant,...). I produced so many viable seedlings this year, despite spider mite infestation I was fighting using this simple method of pest control I had to literally beg neighbors to take my seedlings so I won't have to discard them. Happy gardening!

Krásně poprvé kvete, stačilo asi na 1..2 měsíce od prosince dát někam do chladu k oknu (teplota byla kolem 9°C) a skoro nezalévat.

The ordinary becomes extraordinary under the right lighting conditions. I dropped everything to setup and paint this corner of the house. It was done in such a fury that I didn't even have a light on my setup, so I was left in the dark when the sun faded. Winter light moves fast but there's something extra intriguing about it.
