Such a gorgeous and funky plant :love ! I’m definitely looking to find one in the next plant expo.
Thank you for sharing her, TwoCrows! This is definitely one of my faves from your beautiful collection!
How is our broody girl doing? I wouldn’t expect a hen as experienced as Peach to be having any problems, but how is she getting on this time, and how much is she tolerating the rest?
Welcome. Hope you feel safe here :hugs . Some of us live in less than safe communities.
Unfortunately, the more silent we are, the less safe our world will become
Gay orcas aside :p , you’ve done a lot more online succulent ordering than me, so your experience there is quite valuable! This is a very interesting, and dare I say shocking thing to read, as I’m used to succulents growing under almost any conditions, even after serious chops!
Seems like you two are doing much better with your Jade. I almost burnt mine to crisp last year, but she’s coming back. The cons of keeping succulents outdoors :lol:
Thank you TwoCrows, you give me far too much credit.
They definitely are fun little plants. Boring for some, but probably my favourite or second favourite out of all the succulents. They don’t grow like normal succulents, they split. Think of it as a reptile shedding its skin. Unlike a reptile...
I hope so!
WOW, she truly took her time! 6 months, that’s got to be a record of some sort! Hopefully yours will flower as well, but you’re probably right in saying that she won’t. Their flowers are absolutely gorgeous though
This is super interesting, and a very valuable website, thank you! I think you’re right. The attenuata in the photo looks very much like ours (and funnily enough, next to the photo there looks to be a small Jade)!
Thank you! I’ve already found too tiiiny pups, so I’m very excited. After looking at the collection, I think that the terracotta pot might actually become hers, no other plants are small, or big enough for that pot (with the exception of my barrel cactus, but I want my cacti in plastic pots so...
I had a whole reply post ready for thistlewick, but seeing as there have already been far more informative replies, I’ll say this.
Feather damage alone would not have worried me so much as the hen’s behaviour around Big Red did. Even under Kolovos, some hens would have feather damage. But none...
Wow, we’ve been harvesting ours for a week or more already. Lucia is already loving the fallen figs that are becoming more and more abundant. Kolovos would have already led the group to this new food source, but these boys do not have enough experience yet.
I hope your group are also enjoying...
Thank you! This is very informative. I guess I’ll come to know her better come November. It’ll be nice to have some winter growers in the collection. For now I think I’ll do one a week or once every other week, and we’ll see how she does with that!
I suppose it could be done, but it would be incredibly hard. One would need to research quite a few breeds and mixes to find a variety of breeds that fit their environment, and who brood naturally. Then one would need to find a source of those breeds, ideally one that broods naturally as well...
Really?! Wow, thank you! I loved capturing that moment on camera, but I also thought it wasn’t too share-worthy, since it’s quite shaky.
Thanks RC! This photo was part of a series I had captured. The very next photo, “ooh, is that food”…
