My iceplant / Mesembryanthemum Crystallinum has been in its own Kratky pot full of saline for 24 hours now. It's thriving!
I am a very happy mad scientist / indoor gardener / space station denizen today. ☺️

I did it! I moved my #IcePlant to a #Kratky pot (1l juice jar, covered in a black sock) with a 0.1 M NaCl solution. I am now growing, or attempting to grow, a plant in salt water.
I even managed to find yet another sock with a hole in the toe that I saved in the confidence I would find a use for it.
This is pinnacle mad scientist. My (space station) life has peaked.
I am so excited to see how my little plant fares! 3/n

More information on the benefits of NaCl for iceplants, aka Mesembryanthemum Crystallinum . (This fascinates me!)
It truly feels like an experiment worthy of my Space Station Life.™😂 2/n

My Common iceplant (#MesembryanthemumCrystallinum) has had a growth burst this week!
I *may* eventually transfer it from its current #hydroponic slot to a #Kratky set-up so I can experiment with adding saline!
Has anyone here done that (Kratky ice plant, hydroponic ice plant, and/or adding salt)?
I'd love advice about harvesting select leaves early if anyone has experience with this specific plant. 1/n
