You really know your plants, this one is lucky to have you! If you were able to bring this one back to life, I should be able to keep mine alive!

That's very flattering

Exactly. Another story to further prove how resilient they are. I forgot one of my kalanchoes in my watering "bin" for about a week. It rained almost every day of that week. When I remembered about it, I found a plant with no soil, with a pot separated, floating at the top of the water, and a chalanchoe completely submerged in water. Took it out, dried it with some paper towels, put it in some soil and left it for a week (maybe two). Then I put some more soil, readjusted a bit (because the roots had not held on to the soil, so the plant had drooped a bit), and watered. I did sparce watering for some time, and then started it on the normal succulent programme. It's thriving now as well, and has given me quite a few propagations

if anything, I can somewhat speak succulent dialect. Anything else is probably dead


Not sure I'm a succulent doctor, maybe a succulent collector

A$$hole scared me just now. She's doong those broody peeps and i thoughr it was a baby already

 

[Sally PB]

But yes, this is why waiting is important. A plant can only handle so much change in a short amount of time

Are you saying... Plants are like chickens...?

Are you saying... Plants are like chickens...?

Eh, in some aspects

hi guys! I haven’t been on BYC in a bit because (don’t remember if I said this on this thread yet) i recently found out I have to move to colorado in two months and so I’ve had no motivation. I’m going to try to come back though!

One broody hen is down to a single egg that's still going.
The other broody hen kicked her eggs out is only sitting on a fake egg while also allowing a baby chick to sleep underneath her. The chick is from a group I transferred to outside before all but the single chick died.

 

[calicocows]

YES

YOU WATCH HER TOO?!!

I'm exhausted today. Just want to go home and lay down
