[axofixations]

i wanna introduce you guys to my plants,,, so

My Plants!!! [in pot height order, ignore the shotty editing]

Mr. Silly Goofy

this is Mr. Silly Goofy. He's the original, he started out as a small lil offshoot of another succulent, and now he's his own lil guy! [I refer to Mr. Silly Goofy using He/Him pronouns.]

He's been a bit busy producing a new leaf. I think he may be a Kalanchoe Dwarf Hybrid, since afaik he's similar to some Kalanchoe succulents, but he has his own distinct features.

The lil pink cup you see in the background is his old pot. I actually recently repotted him! Also, he has a lil bead. It wasn't in his original pot, but when I repotted my narcissus, one of the beads fell into the potting mix.

he also used to have a name tag! I mean, he still has it, but since the pink cup will be repurposed, i figured I might as well tape the ol' nametag to the bottom of his lil well-plate.

Jimmy Carter Hughes-Neutron

The Aloe Vera! His name is Jimmy "Jimney" Carter Hughes-Neutron. [naming like this will continue with my other plants.]

Amusingly, the Jimmy Carter name came from a friend BEFORE he died, so it's mostly unrelated to his death. I bought him for $5 from a plant sale. He's the only one I haven't repotted! [Also use He/him for 'em.]

The lil Q-Tip is because the day I bought him, I was hanging out with a friend, and we were doing art together. There were some q-tips lying in the open, and I was like: "...Lil sword."

So I grabbed the Q-tip and stuck it in his pot. It used to be at the edge of the pot, but I actually moved it inwards today to act as a sort-of stake, since the guy was leaning pretty severely [he was at a 45° angle, literally.]

He also has a new little sprout! [lil yellow thing.]

Narcissus :]

THE NARCISSUS!!! I've had him for such a long while and I've yet to give him a name! Quite a shame, honestly. I think he rather quite likes this pot! He has a few beads with him too from his old one so he didn't completely ditch his roots! :]

If you guys have any name suggestions, let me know! [I use he/him for the guy :3]

Drogas Queso Lacey Nerve-Plant

Last but [Certainly] not least, Mr. Drogas Queso Lacey Nerve-Plant!!!! Yes, he has like 2 first names that are in spanish [Drugs and Cheese], but who cares!!!! [If you've noticed, all my plants use he/him.]

This is actually him before & after I pruned him. Unfortunately, I forgot to water him for a bit, and he... well, you can see how much I trimmed.

He was actually the second plant I got! First was Mr. Silly Goofy! I got this lil guy at a local fair I performed at! [I also saw some live axolotls there, which was nice :3]

I'm hoping he'll bounce back, he's still a bit green at the bottom so he's not completely gone!

Anyways, despite my tactile botanophobia, I am taking care of them! They are thriving! [Well, except Drogas, but.... I'm trying.]

I keep 'em all near the window in my kitchen, which is curtained, but it faces roughly the south, so the sun rises there, and there's a decent amount of light that comes in during the day!

I also keep any animals away from them. I learned the hard way when my stepmom's dog, Stryder, knocked over Mr. Silly Goofy within like a week of having him [Mr. Silly Goofy]. Was not a good time, but he's doing alright now!

my happy pink fittonia plant ෆ

[alphashley14]

I keep plants as a hobby and here’s a great thing that happened to me today: I bought my first orchids from a sale my University’s botanical gardens was having. I’m really excited about it. Just wanted to share.

And yes I also got some other plants because they surprised me with more than just orchids at the “Orchid” sale. I’m really excited about those too.

Also I’m in a computer lab because I had to walk across campus to work on a project right after.

Also please ask me about my plants. I love talking about them.

Yes, this is fanart of half of Måneskin, but more importantly it’s fanart of two of my houseplants.

@magicmetslogic requests plant pics, so here we are! These are Very Very Not All My Plant Babies but it's nighttime outside and there's not enough light to get good photographs of the ones I have sitting in windows.

Also not pictured: the five billion yards of pothos vines that are going to end up strangling me in my sleep I just know it lol.

[traught-whelmed-aster]

I truly never let my friends have a day off 💖

~

I’ve taken up every day off they’ve had for the last 2 weeks with holidays and brunches and shopping and I love that they just let it happen ✨

As a consolation, we went plant shopping. Her name is Ellie.

fittonia insider info, valaki szólhatott volna előre. azt hittem, milyen jól működik a kommunikációnk, hogy

ő: drooping én: szaladok a vízzel

közbe meg :(

épp issza a növényem a talpa alá öntött vizet (az egyik különösen szereti így) és odapillantva pont elkaptam ahogy a kis levelei beleremegnek a gyönyörbe

[moomeecore]

"is this a plant or a weed" im going to pull all the hair out of your head

[coolhorse]

So anyway heres my brief backstory that i just made up comic.

[quicksilversquared]

Once again, my landlady offered to water my plants while I was gone over break. Once again, she texted me partway through to be like 'okay just so you know I couldn't water this past week/week and a half for (insert reason here) but I will be doing so ASAP!'. And once again, I got back and found that the latter part of that statement was clearly a lie, because everything was dry as a bone and three of my plants are dead (one of them a clearance rack fern that I've been nursing back to health since late spring).

....ma'am, for fuck's sake, if you know in advance that you likely won't be able to keep up the watering schedule for a week or two, let me know ahead of time (or at least partway through the week! whenever it's coming up on the next watering time!) so that I can track down someone else to throw some water at the plants, whether that be the non-Smokestack other renter or one of the other grad students (now made possible because we have a code entry rather than key)! Don't wait, tell me after the fact, lie about being about to water them, and then let me find dead plants!
