mini Phalaenopsis update
we're not in full bloom yet, but the spike has a few open flowers now. i think it was November when the spike first started developing? it's been a long time coming but i'm excited to see some flowers, finally.
'Kiwi' aeonium update
on a whim, i pruned this little aeonium to see how it would respond to bonsai techniques. interestingly, it has produced some aerial roots that give it the illusion of a buttressed trunk. it may never become anything other than an 'interesting plant' but i kind of like it. as a bonus, any rosettes i prune off are easily propagated and added to planters, or given to friends.
if grown in full sun, the colour of the leaves will turn yellow, with red tips. this plant is grown indoors under grow lights, so the leaves are green.
Hoping what I've read about tillandsia dying after they bloom is not true.π€
And I propagate my long-dead relatives house plants, and feel thankful that they're alive. My grandmother's African violet has made tiny violet blossoms this week, and it delights me every time it happens.
some nice instant ramen for lunch
