Rooted!


This is my String of Bananas cutting. I noticed it on the floor, under the plant stand on which I have the pot of cuttings ... and when I picked it up I saw it had rooted! So I've planted it in the green wellies. I've also put the string of hearts cutting I had in the "rooting pot" in the wellies too.

I've just bought more succulents!! I can't even remember where I came across the name - Succulents Ireland ... but here we go again ... They had mini plants, and you bought 6 and got a seventh free, but of course it didn't stop there! Plus postage was 7 Euros ...

I finally threw away the dried up fatsia ...

Sedum Pachyphyllum


 Day TWO - 15 June 2019 ... after ONE DAY



 29 June 2019 - just look at those roots!



Have decided to put my Sedum Pachyphyllum leaves in soil. (The fat leaf in the centre, is a Little Jewel Red Tips - a pachyphytum). I'd never tried to propagate leaves before, but I'd a video on YouTube, where someone was propagating them, suspended over water, so thought I'd give it a go.  I was AMAZED to see roots after just ONE day, and they've been doing quite well over the past couple of weeks. Thought it was time to transfer them to a pot of soil, and hopefully that works, and they grow into healthy plants! I've misted the soil, and hope that was the right thing to do ...

I had these in water too - a burro's tail, string of bananas and string of hearts cuttings - but now that I have soil I've potted them up instead. I have two more string of hearts cuttings in the kitchen, and those are in water still. They're in a water bottle I brought home from Bianca's last week. 

I want a string of hearts plant, but the postage on eBay is twice as much as the price of a plant, so I'll wait to see them in a shop ... and then I'll grab 2 or 3 of them!
