Curly Jade Plant Growth Update

HaeunGardenLeave a comment

Curly Jade Plant is currently my favourite plant. It was the first plant I purchased after moving to London but this is not the only reason I love this plant.

I couldn’t water the plant for 3 months when I went to Korea. Naturally, I saw that the plant had almost dried up on my return. I watered the plant and it came back! It survived! I think this is why I cherish this plant even more.

It also grows well. The weak parts of the leaves recovered and the plant became bigger and bigger. I can literally see the difference every week.

I found this baby growth from the surface of the soil and I moved this to a small pot. But it died because it was left under direct sunlight.

Unkillable Plant: Planting Lithop Seeds

HaeunGarden2 Comments

I’ve fallen for succulent plants especially Lithop, Gibbaeum, Lapidaria margaretae and Conophytum which have unique shapes. They looks so gorgeous. I wanted to buy fully grown Lithops (living stone Plant) online but I couldn’t find a good one. So I bought a Lithop kit for £13.50 from Ohh Deer.

A lot of people say Lithop is an unkillable plant. Lithops can store water for months so it doesn’t need regular watering and much care. I just need to water them only when the soil is thoroughly dry.

The kit contains

-1 x Packet of living stone seeds.
-Instructions and tips included.
-Starter growing pots.
-Natural coconut husk compost discs.
-Wooden plant markers.

It’s just a short introduction. It doesn’t explain how to use the compost discs so I just poured water on the discs and mixed it with a wooden stick.

Apparently, the correct way to use the compost disc is to put it in luke-warm water and let it soak but I think it’s all the same. Add some water and wait until it’s fully expanded.

These are Lithop seeds. When I opened the packet, I thought it was empty but realised that the dust looking particles are the seeds.

There are around 11 seeds.

I carefully put the seeds on the soaked soil. I’m not even sure whether I put the seeds in properly or not. It’s too small to check.

I covered the pots like in the picture. They will germinate in around two to 12 weeks.

It’s time to wait (again) !
