Plant of the Day
Tuesday 12 September 2023
This garden dry stone wall hosts a number of Sedum species including the grey foliaged Sedum spathulifolium 'Cape Blanco' (spoon-leaved stonecrop). The fleshy rosettes are silver-grey in winter becoming blue-grey in summer, overlaid with a white bloom which intensifies with drought.

Been really into gardening, so what about Nikolai and König with a gardener s/o? Would they be interested in helping out, or have a specific favorite type of plant?
(I love love LOVE rambling about plants, they're so cool once you get to know them!! I blame my mom entirely since she has a green thumb)
(Also, do you have a fav kind of flower? I personally love hydrangeas)
Plants are really cool, though! Hydrangeas are very pretty, I think I've seen some here and there! I personally adore lisianthus, though! They're absolutely gorgeous! Now I can't help but wonder if I could grow some someday when I move out, haha!
Nikolai and König with a Gardener!S/O
Nikolai: I do believe that he has a garden somewhere near his house only he knows about, where he grows vegetables. He loves having his own little garden, just that little bit of space that no one can take away from him with which he can do just about whatever is nice. He especially likes tomatoes, they’re nutritious, healthy and very delicious, as well as easy to cook. Nikolai is a pretty good cook, so he knows how to utilize tomatoes to their full potential. He has tried to grow flowers as well, though. He’s made some good success with sunflowers, in fact he still has some in his secret garden. So he absolutely knows how to take care of a garden, he finds it relaxing even and would love to help you out a bit, if you let him. Do let him plant some plants of his own, though, he loves watching them grow. Although he’s never been able to do so, he’d love to cultivate some melons at some point as well. Watermelons, cantaloupes, honey melons, he’d love to eat his own ones someday as well, especially with you. He thinks it’s so cool that you’re a gardener because, in another life where he wasn’t a soldier and or leader of a PMC, he, too, would be a gardener. Has always dreamed of having a garden with you and would love to plant some trees as well. Apple trees, cherry trees, maybe even some orange trees, as long as he gets some delicious fruit out of it, he’s down. Besides, what’s more domestic than working at your shared garden together? He’ll even plant some flowers as well. He can’t particularly surprise you well with them, but he can look at your surprised face when they first start sprouting. While he won’t pluck or cut them unless he needs to, he will cherish the moments he gets to spend with you and your shared plants. And if you’re the type of person to name your plants then I can assure you he remembers each and every single name.
König: He’s never really been into gardening. He had a small succulent as a kid once so he had something to take care of that would help him with feeling down, but it didn’t survive very long. He loved the little plant a little too much and gave it too much water every day. To this day he feels guilty about it. He named it “Luisa”. Ever since then he’s not very confident in his plant keeping abilities, thinking he has the worst green thumb imaginable. He would love to help you, don’t get me wrong, but he’s afraid of killing your plants and making you mad about it. No, he’d much rather watch you and encourage you with your endeavors. He’ll buy fertilizer, if needed, or some new seeds or saplings if you want some, but he won’t really do much with your plants, aside from moving them to the sunlight if you want him to. Although, it should be added that he could still learn how to take good care of a plant. With some guidance, and another small succulent that’s hard to kill, it’s not too late. Just show him the ropes, tell him what to do and he’ll do it. He might get nervous about having overdone it again from time to time, and will come up to you, the succulent tiny in his hands, asking you if his plant will make it. Reassure him and give him some good tips, he’ll appreciate it more than you’ll ever know. König feels very accomplished when the plant has survived over two months. As time goes on, he’ll grow more comfortable with plants and ask you if he could maybe help you water some more plants. He may still need to get a feeling for it all, but he’s very eager to help you. Again, this is all very domestic for him, so he quite likes it. Just watering some plants with you, harvesting some parsley, maybe picking some apples from the tree. He can get most fruits from the tree due to his height as well, which is great. König’s more into the practical side of gardening, so he prefers fruit and vegetables over flowers. His favorite plant would be a pumpkin, but only because he loves pumpkin seed oil.

Me, a week ago: okay, so I might be doing three weeks of field work in another state (connected to my grad project), and then hopefully get to go back and visit my parents for 1-2 weeks, so I should probably not buy more plants/expand my collection because if my landlady is watching my plants while I'm gone, that's potentially 5 weeks of being gone, and in the summer half of my plants need water every other day at a minimum. So we are going to not buy any more plants until summer is over.
Me, today at the store: what a pretty fern I'mma buy it

Succulents Part 10--Tradescantia
Succulents are a wide variety of plants, spanning multiple orders. Some have succulent leaves while others have succulent stems. Cactuses are succulents, but not all succulents are cactuses. Defining what exactly makes a succulent is a little tricky. For example, cabbage leaves are considered by some to be succulent, but tulip and onion leaves apparently aren't.
All photos mine. Unedited.

Spiderwort leaf shapes can vary a lot between species, but the flower shape is pretty similar: fuzzies in the middle and three petals. About half of these were taken in my grandmother's garden, and the other half (the bluer ones) from mine. Mine is a native species of course: Tradescantia ohiensis (Ohio spiderwort), which has edible parts but I haven't tried it yet. Spiderworts are stem succulents.

one slightly funny thing from earlier is that we did a bunch of cleaning and decided to rotate one of the planters that's next to the windowsill and realised that amost all the leaves on the anthurium in it had grown towards the window so it's like... this is the side that was facing us before
Tumblr media
and this is the side that's facing us now

just a solid wall of foliage
(also I think the pale patched on some of the leaves are just from them being old? the newer leaves are shiny and those don't have the pale patches)

Plant of the Day
Thursday 21 December 2023
The spectacular succulent Echeveria ‘Mauna Loa’ was created by Dick Wright in 1976. This plant is a complex hybrid with Echeveria gibbiflora ‘Carunculata’ and other cultivars in the parentage. The appearance varies under different growing conditions with the edges of the leaves turning red to burgundy when in the full sun.
