http://kellysnotsogreenthumb.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html

Kelly's Not So Green Thumb. Monday, February 25, 2008. Okay, so my old project, propagating succulent plants from leaves, blew away,. Yes, Donna and I experienced a great deal of wind about a week or two ago and I came home to find my leaves and their corresponding pots all over the balcony, and dirt everywhere. I got over it and I'm trying simpler methods, but the other day I picked up some Aizoceace Split-Rocks, Lithops and Conophytum plants at Lowe's and one thing led to another. It's an awesome store...

Kelly's Not So Green Thumb. Thursday, June 12, 2008. My "Baby Toes": Ficoidaceae-Aizoaceae fenestraria. Remember me whining a while back about how terrible my "Baby Toe" succulent plant was doing?

But what really got me wanting to blog about this excellent succulent specimen was the fabulous flower buds that appeared on one of my other plants. Three buds, to be exact! I can't...

http://kellysnotsogreenthumb.blogspot.com/2008/06/exploring-succulent-propagation.html

Kelly's Not So Green Thumb. Tuesday, June 3, 2008. As you know, I'm interested in propagating plants, especially some of my favorite succulent plants. I have a few plants that are actively reproducing themselves via fallen leaves and through offshoots. My favorite "Blue Bird" Echeveria. You can see tiny little plants growing on the side, right? Offshoots and taking cuttings from plants represents asexual reproduction too; The plant is basically cloning itself. Only with seeds do you see a change in t...

Kelly's Not So Green Thumb. Sunday, March 30, 2008. MOTHER OF THOUSANDS: Bryophyllum daigremontianum. Donna, do you remember this little guy? He was a "bonus" when I bought my varigated Bear Paw plant, a tiny little seedling that I was sure to pot with the very same Bear Paw plant. Anyway, at first we thought that he was going to be a baby Bear Paw, because of the jiggy-jaggy edges, but he always seemed to look a little like something else. And where was his fur? Plus a link to the website. And realize t...

Kelly's Not So Green Thumb. Friday, June 20, 2008. So What Subtropical Tree Did I Get? That's right, I got myself a fig tree. I can't remember exactly how I came to the conclusion that I would get a fig tree. It really just happened. I think I read somewhere about growing trees in containers and a light bulb. Came on. I have always wanted a fig tree. I love figs. The trees are gorgeous, and I read that they grow very well in containers. They prefer a tight root ball. That fact really surprised me! I have...
