Pickle Plant

This beautiful small succulent is now flowering. Just little yellow flowers. It's originally from Africa. Scientific name is Delosperma Echinatum.

CARE

Light: Bright, indirect light is preferred, but the plant can tolerate a few hours of direct sunlight. Insufficient light can lead to leggy growth.

Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

Humidity: Delosperma echinatum prefers low humidity and does not require misting.

Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 65°F and 85°F (18°C and 29°C). Protect from frost and temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix formulated for succulents or cacti.

Fertilizing: Fertilize sparingly, using a cactus or succulent fertilizer, once every 2-3 months during the growing season (spring and summer). Do not fertilize during the fall and winter.

Snow Peas, Lettuces, Succulents

I planted the lettuces in the bigger planter that once contained the bromeliad. I'm not even sure if it was the bromeliad but the lettuce plants fit perfectly. It will grow into a head so hopefully there is plenty of room. And right in the center I replanted the chives.

I replanted one of the swiss chard into a matching planter that the other one was in. Looks perfect. And planted the snow peas into the larger container. Snow peas need to be space 8" apart and the container allows that. I was planning to put them into the ground but it would had taken time to create raised beds. Easier the better.

I moved the succulents in pots to the side yard so that I can put the lights into them. At light it gets pitch black along the side and hopefully these lights will lightened up that area.
