Today some plants arrived, including this Crassula pellucida marginalis. Will it behave like other Crassulas? That is, if we stick those leaves that broke off into soil, will they propagate? Do we need to keep some precise pH? Some particular temperature? Ballmer peak?
Check out the $10 Alocasia Melo saves. Wally World rejects for the win! Unpotted from the "soil" and have them soaking now to suck up the good stuff. Found about 5 corms while doing so as well so those will probably be started soon as well to get moar plants.
The volunteer squash plant was terribly neglected during my run in with Covid, but managed to persevere. In respect to it, I spent some time today pulling the weeds that were choking it, buried some of the dead-leaved stem pieces, and sprayed the leaves this evening with neem oil. Might be too late to get any squash out of it, but I’ve done what I can.

Lipstick Plant Rescue!
My Lipstick plant lost almost all leafs and looks terrible. In this video, I cut off all the dead parts and try to rescue my plant. Let's hope that it recovers soon.

Got a tip that the grounds crew at a local school district was going to spray herbicide and kill a patch of milkweed, joe pye weed, and other native wildflowers. So we took shovels and tried to save some to plant in our yard.
