I'm really happy to know I'm not the only one buying all the broken plants!
Your plant's waistline is beautiful because it shows what a difference some tlc can make.
There I'm even poetic tonight

188193 you have a cactus with a waistline I can only dream of??? What's going on there?

Ps I showered my rose and the notes have been washed away! I'll keep doing it until they stop coming back.
Thank you for that!!

It's spider mites
Horrible things and they keep coming back

I really love this thread! No matter how bad my day can get, I can always count on these pictures to cheer me up I'm the evening =D> Thank you so much for posting! Ps hopefully you'll soon manage to get rid of your pests, I have a little indoor rose plant and it keeps getting mites, I don't even kno...

I have "rescued" two cacti that had had a Santa hat stabbed into the stem and googly eyes glued on
I often buy the plants that have been reduced and thrown in the bargain bin, I am a sucker and feel sorry for them

I love the babies, and I really like the idea of giving the baby plants to random people!
You're absolutely right, you never know how much something so "little" can actually mean when done to the right person at the right time.
Well done!

Hello again! After moving home, being buried up in snow, working like mad, finally I have a moment to put up an update of sorts... I relocated the plants in the new home, and returned after a week. I found that my sedum palmieri had decided to flower and dry up while I was away, so I missed out on t...

so there's going to be a lot more happy plants in Koln soon?

Your plants all look so happy!
I have to ask, who is the chap in 170559 and what's going on with the reddish growths?

PS do you accept day requests? As in what pictures did you take on April 1st?

Eh, the "mother plant" had been uprooted and left for dead in a grassy verge... I actually went back with scissors and oven mitts and removed a couple of pads whilst humming the mission impossible theme :lol: Sadly this means that the plant has gone from lovely, sunny balmy sea air to the ...

I am younger than your average member then, yay me! Considering that I relocate every 3-6 months this is not really the right hobby for me (I have to move 40 plants next month... It's going to be like the hanging gardens of Babylon in my car!), but I really enjoy my little plants, and how they chang...

I think you'll find it on youtube...

I would just like to stress once again that I am not interested in growing weed or opium!
Plus I only seem to be able to keep succulents alive, normal plants take a look at me and quickly wither and die

As a new member, I have to say that stepping into a specialized forum can be a bit intimidating: I am an "expert" in my field, so being the latest dork in something else is quite humbling. We often start with the odd cactus from the supermarket, and before we know it we're hooked with a do...

I do know that people grow weed very successfully in the UK, and the guy who told me about the sodium light mentioned a grow site where they also kept an aloe vera, which apparently flowered under this light...
I think I need a few dodgy friends to help me out with a second hand one
