I have been interested in cacti and succulents for like 8 years now, they really are awesome aren't they. I'm also trying my hand at growing a few bonsai as well.

Sick blog.

I surprisingly found this incredibly interesting, I'll be looking for those updates!

i'll probably update once i see my cuttings have rooted well (unless they don't and all die) or once i get the seeds assuming customs doesn't confiscate them

I don't think I know anything about any of your mentioned plants. That said, a lot of my food eats plants, so I suppose I like them too. That or I like the things that eat them.

I just yesterday ordered some seeds to grow this beaty

black pearl chili

After moving to city, I've noticed the lack of nature and plants is depressing. At least for someone like me who has lived most of his life with access to forest from backyard.

I used to have a cactus in my room. I thought it was one of the hardiest plants, and its a great fit for me because I'm kind of lazy when it comes to watering them. They have plenty of water in their stems I would always think! But then these little white balls appeared everywhere, it shrivelled up and died lol. Was kind of a sad day, I can't even take care of a cactus

.

Maybe I'll try again with a hardier cactus. Now that I think of it, it probably wasn't a real cactus. Surely my caretaking is better than being in a scorching desert, right???

wow, no official gardening thread on TL; all them greenies lobbying for greener things in General and it's like nothing came out of it. so, if i may ...

i have some date palms + Show Spoiler +

, some citrus trees + Show Spoiler +

(small one is from an orange seed and the big ones are from lemon seeds), some failed citrus trees(but i have hopes for them) + Show Spoiler +

, a failed attempt at imitating the sun + Show Spoiler +

(i experimented with DIY growth lights) and citrus trees with flowers + Show Spoiler +

after about 9 - 10 months of growth(which wasn't supposed to be possible), but there it is.

nine date palms in total and about two dozen of various citrus trees. also, i potted this spring some blueberries and sea buckthorn because they're actually native.

i too started looking at bonsai when i got into it but then i found out about the root cutting, the fertilizer usage, the wiring down and realized i can't do that to trees.
