Sunday Sunday Sunday! Houseplants go!

Cycad: New Growth?

I suppose now that it’s getting on autumn and the temps are cooler and the days are shorter, even houseplants are gonna stop growing a bit, etc.  I suppose I shouldn’t expect too much in the way of progress.  Nothing’s dying, so that’s cool!

I don’t know much about cycads / sago palms.  My cycad, which is now completely mealybug free, doesn’t appear to be growing. Or maybe it is, I don’t know!  If a cycad dies, does it very CLEARLY die? Or does it just look healthy until the end of time, even though it’s friggin’ dead? I dunno. At any rate, it still looks fine, and there may or may not be new growth.

A. Nobilis Cuttings

The avocado is still growing well, too!  Lots of new leaves!

My aloe nobilis cuttings are kickin’ around and not really changing, but I think that’s okay. They tend to take forever, so it should be okay.  My jade leaf is doing the same dealio, but I dunno, it may be fine.

Spider Plant

Finally, I’ve gotten around to transplanting my spider plant out of it’s little water bath into hydroculture.  Got a little foofy and added some coloured beads for fun, but whatever.  Also have it in a cute little jar from the Daiso, with leaves and ladybugs on it. ^_^  I hope it does well~

How about you? How are your houseplants doing?  What plants do you keep? What do you want to try keeping?
