I'm super satisfied with how these two came out! NGL I've been planning that Martini setup since my first succulent, just needed to find the right plant for it. Probably going to rearrange some stuff (the blue marbles look really awkward - I tried to make it look like water on a beach but obviously that didn't work out), but other than that, aa they're so pretty!

These are so creative, I love them!! The tree stump is definitely my favourite, but both are beautiful. I would love to try making one of my own some time in the future c:

I got some new plants today, but obviously I picked ones without labels so I would be truly grateful if anyone could help with identifying them!



woah these pictures turned out huge, I'm not sure how to resize them sorry ;-;

Lunapic can help with resizing! Also my mum has birds-of-paradise plants outside (front and back yard) along with these other purple plants.

@cheesecake.
im not sure what plants those are, but maybe this will help? its kinda a pain to sort through,
but once you find the plant you think is yours, you can click the link and look at the other
pictures/description to double check. hope this helps!!
also, what i do is take my picture, email it to myself, save it, and then use the OIE to
resize it. i then save it and upload it to imgur where i then copy the image address and
put it here! (p.s. the upload button isnt grey for some reason but its still a button!) sorry
if im like dumbing this stuff down, i just want to make sure you don't have any trouble!

i managed to get a picture of my cactus!! he is such a round boy. i am looking for name
suggestions if anyone has any for him! (sorry the container/pot is so rough. i cut it in a rush,,)

I found out that the first one is a "ficus tree" or "weeping fig" but I'm still not certain about the cactus. Thanks for the website link, I'll try looking through it! I'm a goose and took the photos straight from my camera, so I will use the editor next time, I appreciate your help :D

@cheesecake.

I think it can be challenging to identify cacti without their flowers! but I hope you find out what it is :3

but I definitely agree about the other plant being a focus! super cute! I'd love to get one to replace the one I lost last year :3 (if you don't mind me asking!) how much did it cost? as I'd like to look at costs to establish what is a reasonable price for a new ficus

@jodjo

I don't think the quantity of chlorine in tap water is dangerous! :3 but for the moment I'm just using pond water to water it haha, once we have a water butt I'll use that! ^v^

ahhh your cacti is super cute, I love the round ones too much ;v; (this isnt a huge deal, but it looks like yours has fake flowers glued on :0)

I'm afraid I'm terrible with names so I usually pick based off of characters I like or just really silly names haha!

I'm gonna get pics later today but I finally!! got my monstera deliciosa yesterday and I cannot explain how excited it made me! I decided to name it Brie as I have a sort of 'B' naming theme and I felt like it suited the plant since it's a 'swiss cheese plant' idk haha it's silly

@Catskitten
i bought mine from Aquatic Arts on amazon. i bought 6, a
nd it has 4 and a half stars for their reviews! Mine should b
e coming tomorrow and i can tell you then if it really deser
ves that though!

@lesbian + @Catskitten
oh my goodness D: i feel so bad for my cactus!! upon furthe
r inspection, i can see hot glue. im a little distressed becau
se i dont want to hurt my cactus, and i feel so bad for him a
nd i thought that he seemed so happy to have flowers on hi
m. i dont know what to do!! thank you both for telling me!!
once my parents come home im gonna tell them and hopefu
lly we can get them removed without hurting him. poor guy
:( now i know for next time though!


more on my cactus, how does the name wug sound? i feel li
ke it matches his roundness and its a unique name! also, i c
hopped up the words on this post, is it still readable? i dont
want anybody struggling to read my posts.

It's no problem at all! It was £2.49, so I think that's quite cheap for a ficus??

That's so cute! I saw one of those in the garden centre, they're really pretty c:
I have new names for my plants too: Fifi and Clive. ("Clive the cactus" made me laugh so I thought why not xD)

Hello! I’m back!

First off, happy Earth Day everyone! Unfortunately, I’m cooped up in the house and can’t go do something for it.

Anyways, I have two avacado plants, none which are named yet, and I recently put them in pots. Since then, they’ve started to wilt a little. Why would you guys think that is?

Also, one of my friends is interested in buying my Gala Apple sapling! How much should I ask for it? I don’t want it to be too much, but not be ripped off from it. Is $10-$15 okay? It’s still very young, almost a year old, so it’s not very big.

Thanks for the help!

@Catskitten

AHH omg Muenster is a pretty cute name, if I ever propagate Brie, I'll definitely name all of it's babies after cheese! ^v^

@Jodjo

I understand the concern, I have had the exact same realisation with my first few cacti in the past, don't fret too much - it's the sellers who are to blame, not you!! I hope you are able to get them off safely, but even if you do damage the cactus, don't worry as they usually heal very well!

also I LOVE Wug! it's such a cute name and totally fits it perfectly! (and your post is perfectly readable to me! :3c)

@cheesecake.

ah thank you! £2.49 sounds really cheap omg, nothing would have held me back from buying it if I saw one for that price! the one I was looking at recently was £5 which I think is okay bc it was a larger plant but I might wait to see if I can find one for cheaper haha

and Fifi and Clive are really lovely names! (gotta love alliteration :') )

@Firefoxx01

welcome back! happy earthday to you (and everyone else too! ❤️). when it comes to wilting the three things you have to consider are pests, water and sunlight

pests: it could have an infestation of pests which are causing damage, if they are in the soil they may affect the trees' ability to take in water and nutrients. if you do not see any obvious signs of pests on the plant of in the soil, it's probably one (or both) of the other two
water: I assume they're just seedlings? and maybe they're getting less water than they like and you need to decrease time between waterings? if the soil is still very moist, though, maybe they are being overwatered and would prefer soil that drains more freely?
sunlight: I'm not sure what avocados prefer but if you have moved them to a different place they might want more or less light?
or maybe they're just going through a bit of shock since they've been put into a pot! unfortunately it's quite hard to tell, but I hope I helped a little!

I'm afraid I'm awful with the cost of plants, but I hope someone else can help you! ($10-15 sounds ok to me!)

(also I'm still in the car omg, I swear I'll get those pics of Brie!)

@cheesecake.
i love both of those names!! so pleasant!

@Firefoxx01
happy earth day to you too! im pretty new to
plants so this may not be any help, but is it po
ssible there isn't as much drainage? again, im
not sure, but perhaps thats it.

@lesbian
did you end taking the flowers off your cacti,
or did you just leave them on there? im cons
idering just leaving the flowers on there, but
im scared it may damage poor wug. also, ive
decided that wug will be his name!!

also wondering (this is mainly for everyone n
ow by the way), theres a little flower growin
g on the side, like this:

is this a real one or fake? it seems real to me,
but i just wanna make sure!
