Update (as of 2/8/2021). I know this blog has been inactive for some time now and will be for a while longer. It’s low on the list of priorities for the moment with everything that’s going on and I don’t expect that to change anytime soon.

So I've got a question about this plant in my aunt's salon. A few of the leaves have started to wilt, and I was wondering if it was because the leaves in the back couldn't get enough sunlight. Would rotating the plant regularly help? Or is there something else that could be affecting it.

Rotating would be a good idea, making sure the plant gets even light levels. Im going to be honest though, I’ve got no experience with these guys, as lovely as they are. Good luck!

Christmas cactus is just starting a mega flowering session. Every branch has at least one bud on it, some have two!

My new split rock plant named Neil A. He’s got a bit of a stacking problem going on, but isn’t he cute?! I’m hoping he will bloom soon ☺️💕

The outdoor gang is coming inside! It’s gotten cold and rainy enough so it’s time. Also did some reporting, I know it’s not the right season but it was badly needed.

There will be flowers soon on this Graptopetalum mendozae!

Dasylirion wheeleri

As with the related genera Nolina and Beaucarnea, plants in Dasylirion are dioecious (that is, male and female flowers occur on separate plants). Dasylirion wheeleri is certainly the most widely grown species in the U.S., with its bluish strap-like leaves and saw-toothed edges. The flower stalks emerge in summer, and the many tiny flowers are magnets for honey bees. While the male inflorescence is straw-colored, the female ones take on more interesting colors - green in the case of the plant shown, but often reddish or rust-colored in other dasylirions.
