Remember this little guy, grown from a sproat stolen from an estate sale?
So big now!
This one had a pink cactus grafted onto that white bit on the top of the main stem (remember, from Christmas?), which I impetuously pulled off a couple months ago:
That whole side sproat has grown since then, complete with roots!
And these two are bits of that giant cactus I saw on the street that time:
Now both pieces are growing new leaves on top!
My mom made that little pot for me, using a cabbage leaf as a mold. So perfect. Thanks Mom!
your Mom is cooler than mine :-(
ReplyDeleteit's true, she is pretty cool
ReplyDeleteBe carefull with the 1st one : it will produce a lot of "babies" on the leaves, and when the roots are ok, they'll jump everywhere !
ReplyDeleteAnd, yes, the cabbage pot is very nice :-)
Donna's right re babies jumping everywhere - the plant is a member of the Kalanchoe daigremontiana species and is toxic to animals.
ReplyDeleteAnd the cabbage pot IS really nice!
I'm for the cabbage pot too - I have pot envy! - your Mum is vveeeerrrry clever!
ReplyDeletePot envy! I love it.

Oh I also have one like the first one- and it grows like mad. It looks really funny now, half a meter up in the air. I´m not sure how it´s supposed to look...
