Kalanchoe humilis 'Desert Surprise' - one of my oldest plants and one of my first gateway Kalanchoes 😅 The colors are true - I didn't do any editing. 🌱 #succulents #plantsky #gardenfeed

You certainly can ask! It's a mix of drainage materials as a thick top dressing with about 50/50 organic and non filling the pot. Non-organic includes turface, pumice, expanded shale, and black lava. I 'dilute' the mix with cheaper materials I can find locally like turface and the expanded shale 🙏

Turbinicarpus pseudomacrochele - one of the new cacti I scored at the local Houston Cactus and Succulent Society sale a couple weeks ago. It's so fozzy and wee - I love it! 🌱 #succulents #plantsky #gardensky #cactus

Here's how I make my fast draining succulent soil mix w/ pumice, turface, expanded shale, & soil. You can add more drainage materials as needed. It's cheap and most ingredients can be found locally so you save on shipping $$ #succulents #cactus 🌱 #plantsky #gardenfeed youtu.be/WW3gmRqriqQ

Good morning ☀️ and good night 😴 I do love it so much when cacti flowers go to sleep and wake again for a few days. Astrophytum myriostigma 'Bishop's Cap' #bloominginmay 🌱 #succulents #plantsky #gardenfeed #bloomscrolling

I checked on the plant I recently saw mealybugs on (I caught a whirligig mite and freed it on this plant 2 days before) and I saw a lacewing egg on it today! It's the small white oval on a filament above the cat hair 😅 Dead mealybug white dot on the right 💀 🌱 #succulents #plantsky #gardenfeed

💐🐈 ☠️ Don't kill your Ma's cat this Mother's Day! True Lilies (liliaceae family) are highly toxic to cats - just the pollen licked from fur can cause kidney failure. They should have warning labels considering how often they're sold in bouquets around the holidays.

I noticed (& ignored) some mealies on one of my Sedeveria 'Starburst' or 'Peckerwood' plants. Then I noticed the new growth was super tiny compared to the already small quarter-width normal growth - you can see it in the background. 1/ #sedeveria #mutation #plantmutation #mealybugs #surprisesurprise
