#plantmail — Public Fediverse posts

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.

Despite the physical changes and now just wanting to curl up in my bed and cry, I did manage to get my #PlantMail potted up today.

This week’s newbies are:

- Echeveria Sea Dragon
- Echeveria Ballerina
- Echeveria Tolimanensis Hybrid
- Echeveria Laui x Strictiflora Nova
- Echeveria Edgy

I also repotted my Echeveria Neon Breakers that was bursting out of her pot with lots of babies. I forgot to get a pic before she went back out under the frost cloth but she looks little in her new pot despite desperately needing the size upgrade.

I went more than a little overboard online plant shopping this week so next week’s post will be a big one!

I got the #PlantMail from this week potted up earlier this week. Hoping to keep the time inside in the warmth to a minimum so there’s not so much shock at being sent out into the freezing cold, especially as a couple came from the Gold Coast. I’m also pretty sure I’m coming down with something and didn’t want to risk not being up to it later in the week. These babies are too important.

- Myrtillocactus Gometrizans Fukurokuryuzinboku (Boobie Cactus): I’ve wanted one for ages and scored it from a seller’s closing down sale at a bargain price

- Echinocereus Rigidissimus (Rainbow Cactus): another one I’ve wanted for ages but others were higher on the wish list

- Echeveria Superbowl: I got at a discount, presumably because it’s not a perfect specimen, but it’s perfect to me

- Echeveria Cante x Laui: was just too petty to pass up

- Aloe Vera: I mentioned to a friend that I’d never actually seen it for sale so she dropped me off a piece

- Tacitus Bellus: has also been on my list for a while (the flowers are so beautiful) but had never come up in a sale when there was something else I wanted

- Echeveria Moulin Rouge: I just couldn’t pass up. She’s going to eventually get bumps and if you’ve followed me for a while you’ll know bumpies are my absolute favourite plants
