I bought the same plants from Home Depot. They look humongous. I’m surprised how that’s even possible. I repotted them and don’t water. They look the same one month later. I wasn’t not sure what to wait for.

It is likely due to pesticides that were on the milkweed

With lithops planted all in the same pot, sometimes one or two will be at a different stage. Would using a pipette to put a small amount of water on the top help? There is one in a group that is not actually splitting but the old leaves are shriveled up though you can barely see them (level with substrate). The other ones have flowered and are splitting so they are good but this small one with dried old leaves is kind of wrinkled so should be ok with some water right?

Is it possible to have markings on a cactus that look like scale but are just scaring? I wish I could share photos on here. I bought two cute cacti (one for my daughter for Christmas and one of the same for myself) and they have some markings as described above. I’ve had scale on other plants and though they really suck on tight, it’s possible to get them off. These spots seem like part of the cactus. I’m not super experienced with cacti but trying to learn.

🤦🏻‍♀️ I am all for sharing what we can with our precious insects, but there are times when we have to put our foot down.. even right on top of them! 🤭 xoxo Happy holidays, Andrea

Yeeeah! Love The Dinosaur 😁

I never knew i was a plant activist until something activated the plant activist within. lol Slightly over 4 years ago, i was duped. I bought a Bunny Ear cactus and an Opuntia Decumbens, each with a pretty yellow flower. I was excited. After i got home, and began learning about their blooms, something wasnt right. Those flower were plastic AND it was hot glued onto the cactus. I was a bit pssd that they used hot glue. It took 6 months before that fake flower and glue came off. Several months later, I saw these painted cacti, and i felt a bit disgruntled about it. I said to myself "OMG Im A Plant Activist" 😂 Yep, here i am, nearly 4.5 years into my plant life, and im a plant activist! 😂 Im not going out and pouring paint on company cars, or anything like that, but i will kindly state my opinion kindly. lol

I really like begonias, can you made a video of your begonia collection please?

😲😲😲😲

I absolutely love squirrels, especially during the winter season when they fatten up! 😍 I get excited every time I see a black squirrel. They look like micro bears with tails. lol

An escutcheon is a small decorative plate around a drawer pull or key hole plate in a set of drawers, for example. And a great video too. Thank you so much. I've been putting off dividing my ferns for so long, but you've motivated me now! Thanks from Australia!

😂🐛💩🤣

Oh, those telltale poppy seeds. That's exactly how I know when I have caterpillars on my plants.

Uau! Bela captura😅 Você foi mais esperta😊

Is it proper to water a lithops in the winter that is wrinkly and showing signs of needing water?

Such a beautiful plant can't wait till mine get that big 😊

How Cool ❤

Those are Common around here❤

ummmmm.. awesome. Does it ever bloom?

As always, PERFECT music for the visuals, Andrea.. I love this clip! ❤

😱😁😁😂😇

Awesome 🤩

Do you have a link for the pot?

Hi there! I found your Awesome video and collection that must have grown a lot bye now as I'm hoping to buy an SF 1000. I have been considering a grow tent for my cactus to get them out of the window but I really don't like how they look and I like what you've done and also your pleasantness! Do you think it would be possible to convert a 3x3 closet into a grow space?

I use chop sticks and terra cotta pots.. I love this big aloe...what's it called??

I have that too 😊 , im from Philippines

Ugh!!! 😣😩💚

Does it stay standing on its own or is it one of them that propogates itself by laying on the ground?

Those blooms look like spun gold threads 💛🧡🌵

Such a pretty plant I must have 5

Loving the plant.. and loving that accompanying music, Andrea.. 🎶👍

Excellent! I will have to expand my cactus group! Yours are most excellent!!!!!!!!!!! Jamming too!!!!!!!!!!

Fascinating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love the Whale Fin and love the piano music!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is so cool!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful barrel cactus!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh wow! I love the piano!!!!!! Love the Euphorbia! That is excellent growth!!! I only have one and I can see how they grow! Mine spent one season outside and it has grown huge! I am in a seasonal area Northeast Ohio and so it can't stay out, however it still grew it's tail off!

Super cool

I need this

Just seeing this video now. Sorry to hear about Annie. Losing a cherished pet can take a toll..time heals but can never erase the beautiful memories. On a different note love your aloes.

Yuk! 🤮

Ngl I got my dad to light the bugs 😭 he does woodwork and I dand thats the best way to feel better

What!?

Those poor plants.. 🤦🏻‍♀️😢

I bought a Lithops at a store that was in very organic soil but blooming. It's a twin that's patterned very much like your twin. I've recently moved it to very gritty soil, about 5 days ago and removed 99% of the organic soil. The blooms are still sticking up which I thought would fall out and it would split but it looks soooo dry. 😞 It's all wrinkled on the sides and the top is sinking. I want to water it so bad but I'm afraid of killing it. Any advice?

I have seen some that were sprayed in fluorescent orange/yellow/red/blue.... looks terrible. Thing though is that if people continue buying them, they will continue making them.

Ive seen where people have bought them and properly cared for them resulting in the plant outgrowing the latex type paint. Its sad that they're treated like fake plants.
