something I had always wanted to do – Integrating the Spirals

A review of a new hobby of mine based on the Laidback Gardeners’ post of a thorough guide to succulent care, that I guess I didn’t read thoroughly enough because three of my new lil babes didn’t make it. Ugh. I know. Sad!

I believe what I did wrong was that I’d been spritzing each succulent every day using a tiny spray bottle yet the directions said, do NOT spray the succulents! OOPS! I guess no amount of sun or me doing Reiki on these little ones were going to help combat my overwatering them. Darn.

Thankfully though, the survivors are tough! They are actually growing!! I’m so excited! And I was finally able to find a big glass canister too, so I can make the terrarium tomorrow. I still need to go find rocks and mesh, etc. to ensure I have the groundwork correct inside the jar before I put the new soil in and then transplant the succulents into it. I watched a great YouTube video on how to do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Lg4tzkHgVo I just hope to find everything I need at a local fish store.

Here’s a recent picture of the succulents and I’ll post again once I get the terrarium going.

And yes, I finally got all the dirt off the big guys’ leaves too.

For now, keep pointing towards the sun and drinking your water! Wink!

Align with your soul and then, blend. That’s what I say.

Be open to receiving many blessings and always is my prayer for you every moment.

Omniscience is always with you. You are never alone.

A review of a new hobby of mine based on the Laidback Gardeners’ post of a thorough guide to succulent care, co-mingled with my desire to build a terrarium. I’d wanted to do this since I was a teenager and I just turned 61! Ha! I’d read the post on succulent care, went to the link embedded in the article and ordered about $50 worth of these lil babies.

Hubby thought I’d lost my mind. Maybe I did.

But for my birthday I wanted to do something I’d dreamed of doing but really never knew anything about–and I’d never known anyone to build a terrarium! I was sooo glad these came with a brief “how to” booklet. And I was thrilled to find I had an empty CBD spray bottle (it’s tiny) that I washed out and use as my spritzer. I also use a dropper and shot glass to water the larger one and some of the ones that I can fit the dropper around (to water the dirt along the edge of their small pots).

I had some china stored that I hadn’t been using and for now, thought these serving trays would be a pretty way to display the succulents. I switch the plates around every other day too, and reverse them, so each plant gets a good amount of sunshine.

The whole fam damily (not a typo)! Including my avocado seeds that are starting to grow outside in pots. Haha!

I don’t have all the fixings for the terrarium yet, but the day after receiving these plants, and you can’t make this stuff up, a friend posted pictures on her Facebook page of terrariums she’d made for Christmas! I messaged her about where to buy the fish bowls, etc. and she directed me to Wal-Mart (go figure, and I never shop there)!

Only one of the succulents has lost one leaf so far. One of the small ones got a little crushed, not sure how though we’ve had some visitors so… though I don’t want to blame anyone.

Here’s a closeup of the big guy. I haven’t found a good way of getting the dirt off his leaves yet. I tried a soft brush but it didn’t help much. I thought the water would eventually take it off, but though it has some since I took this photo, it hasn’t all come off yet. Hmm. Any ideas? I don’t want to damage him. (I have no idea why I am using male pronouns with him either).

Somehow it may sound odd, but it calms my mind when I care for these little plants. I talk to them a bit and do Reiki on them as well. I water them and touch them a tiny bit too. I never would have thought I’d do that, but that’s what’s happening and it sort of grounds me. I guess because I can’t do much outdoor gardening where we live right now, this is filling some sort of void. I’m enjoying them for sure.

I have been so busy with other projects and classes that I am just now sharing this, but I have photos of the growth of these little ones over the last month and will share in a follow-up post soon.
