Once again my #desertRose 🌹 blooms! 🥰 This is the most #flowers it's ever had -- 3 in full bloom, 1 about to unravel big time, and 1 little bud in the middle. Yes yes, it's still alive. 🫣 I think it's my longest living [surviving] plant. 😂!

Yeah yeah, I'm still awake. 🤦‍♀️ Such cool lovely #weather today for a #bike ride, but because I haven't slept in a couple of days I really can't be riding or driving anywhere. Bummer. 😐🚲

Once again, it blooms.
🌹🌹🌹 ❤️😊 #DesertRose

That's right. It's still alive!

Oh my goodness oh my goodness oh my goodness... 😲!

I woke up to this outside my window. 👇

Wow. 😳 In less than an hour, the droopy #Celosia got all perky after watering. 😃👍

The orange one seems much* thirstier than the crimson one. It gets really* droopy. 🤷‍♀️ Been needing to water it every 2 days.

I find the difference in behavior strange since, except for the color of the flowers, they look like the exact same variety. To me, anyway. #clueless #YellowThumbs #plants #EducateMePlease #CityGardening #ApartmentLiving

Just checked on my #DesertRose. 🔎🌴

Bugs or buds? 😶

Those have* to be buds.
Right?
Right?!
Somebody tell me I'm right.
My eyesight can't be that bad.
😅

No more bugs, please. 🙏

I bought new #plants.
😅!

Everybody meet my new roommates, The #Celosias.

Relax. I haven't killed my #DesertRose, #pothos and #sansevieria. Yet. They're all still alive. 😃👍

Now I must look up how to not kill my new plants. #YellowThumbs #celosia #woolflowers #mfungu #CityGardening #ApartmentLiving

@jblue
Thanks. 🙂🙏 The #DesertRose is getting plenty of sun, from sunrise till around noon. I've only had it for 5 weeks. It grew a good deal of new leaves till the mealybugs showed up and the leaves started falling off. 🤷‍♀️ So far, no more yellowing/dropping leaves. 🤞

It's warm here most of the year. Cool #weather is rare. Strong winds and heavy rain (and my #YellowThumbs) are quite problematic, but not cold temperatures. 😃👍

Just checked my #DesertRose again.
I give up. ☹️🏳️

Somebody please tell me it'll recover on its own if I leave it alone. 😐 #YellowThumbs

Eww!! What is that on my #DesertRose?!!
😳 #YellowThumbs #plants

The leaves were yellowing and falling off. I thought maybe I watered too much (every 10-12 days), but upon closer inspection... I don't know what that is, but I decided it doesn't belong there.

I got out my house remedy solution + an old toothbrush. There was something under the leaves too. Sprayed and brushed as much of it off as I could.

I hope the plant doesn't mind all the spraying and the soapy solution. 😶 @plants

Oh, forgot to introduce y'all! 😃

Everybody, meet my new roommate #DesertRose.

Desert Rose, meet my Mastodon neighbors. They might tease you about my #PlantCare abilities. Worry not. You're special. You'll, uh, survive my #YellowThumbs.....

🤞😅
