Thanks Jen! No they did not split all at the same time, it was quite staggered from November to April. And at glacial speed I might add. I THINK it was due to being cold inside as once late spring set in and I got them outside, they started growing much faster and got down to business. I really have no idea if they split each year? I know they don't always flower because only 2 of these flowered last year. I am new with these, @fluffycrow knows way more about these plants than I do. 😊

Yes it is a Ruby Cascade Pepperomia! It was outside too, it's about 2 feet long! She didn't do well with standard light coming in through the windows, not enough light, so I had her outside and she got plenty and loved it! So I tried to squeeze her in there under the grow lights. I think she will do ok, IF she doesn't grow any longer! :p

From what I can tell, no. They need to have gathered enough nutrients from the soil, from the sun, and have been watered enough to survive the transition. It’s a very fine balance between too much and too little.

OMG this is SO beautiful!! :love I just love yellow flowers!! ❤️ My crew did quite well outside this year in sun and partial shade. They are back inside under the lights so hopefully they flower just as pretty as yours! 🥰

Hopefully much prettier! While I deeply thank you, I think this particular flower came out all scrawny, making it look less than impressive. Hopefully yours will flower soon, should be around mid winter when they do

Thank you for all this great info on these little guys, I will keep you posted on any flowers I get! 😊

I found this cactus growing out back, I have never seen one of these growing anywhere around here, so I was pretty excited to find it! It's a very healthy specimen! ❤️ It lays flat to the ground, very little height, and about 15 centimeters wide (6 inches). Can you identify it please? 😊

I believe it's a Mamillaria of some sort. Belongs in the desert of Mexico, I've got no idea how it got up here in the mountains at 7,000 ft!

That was my impression, too. "Wow! Puny!"...:lol: No, that is so funny. I thought it looked lovely! I mean, if I could get rocks to grow flowers at all, that'd be impressive! I could see how those flowering would really make your day. Fun to see!

Says it grows up to 7300'! :)🌵⛰️
 
Oh, and I totally defer to @fluffycrow's opinion--I deffo no succy ID'r, if that makes any sense, haha. (You get it.)

I clicked on this before I even realized what it was. (There is F-💣 droppage, so maybe pg-13? Sorry, it's totally cool to take it down if it's not okay.) 😇

I hope everyone is enjoying their Saturday!

Oh gosh Jen, thank you so much! :hugs This is the plant! You are a star! 🥰 So it does grow at this elevation...this plant is so low to the ground and had it been growing deep in the grass I wouldn't have seen it. I'm sure I've stepped on many of them not even knowing it! :oops: Now that I know to watch for them, I will. Thanks again Jen!! ❤️

No, I love it! Maybe you can check on it again later during their flowering window--I'd love to see it if it ever blooms! They are very cool to look at. Almost like nature's mandalas. 🤩
