Guess what I didn't forget to bring home today!!!
#plants I am all out of saucers of the right size, however, including saucers that are repurposed plastic ... things ... that will behave like saucers.
I'm looking for help identifying a
#plant. It looks to me like it's in the euphorbia family, and has a lot in common with "pencil cactus," but the leaves look too big for one of those
#plants.
My plans for the next 2 days:
Windowsill basil. The plant was headed for the compost at work a few months ago, but my coworker said I could rescue it (there were a bunch of herbs, vegetables, and annual flowers that were all scraggly and getting tossed). I'm a bit dubious about keeping herbs going inside for several months, but so far so good. Also good added to salads. (It's some kind of purple basil, not the usual Italian basil)
Anyway here's some plants. Poinsettia cuttings, Primulina 'Loki' getting ready to bloom, Acalypha reptans and co.
Met a new wild plant today: Douglas-fir dwarf mistletoe! 2nd kind of mistletoe I've seen out here.
Someday this may be an enormous plant; today it is just a cutting. Fingers crossed! (Kangaroo palm fern)
BAD. kinda cute tho. (Whiteflies on some plants at work. Maybe the beneficials we released a week or two ago will eat them)
Acalypha reptans, not a common
#houseplant but has been pretty easy to keep happy here where it gets lots of light. Assuming I don't let it get too dry, it gets sad and wilty and won't bloom and I freak out and no one is happy
