CAI9300, Where are my manor's.... Welcome to The Garden Helper's Forum by the way...we are very glad you found us....
And we have lot's of New Yorker's.... spread all acrossed the state... ***Even a few that have moved outta town so to speak***
There's lot's to do here, and we keep ourselves especially busy here, even in the winter months, when the wind is blowing and it's snowing and there's a BLIZZARD goin' on!!!!!
Whoa..that is an awesome plant. Almost enough to get me into houseplants
And welcome to the forum...I'm one of the ex-new yawkers who transplanted to S. Il. Loved Rochester in the fall - great weather...and great memories of my first 'love' LOL!
We have one of those. It came along with a cactus we purchased and was tiny for a long time. This summer I put it out on my porch with my jades and kalanchoe and it is huge now.
Kalanchoe daigremontiana (devil"s backbone, mother-of-thousands)is so named because of its unusual production of tiny baby plants all along the edges of its leaves. These baby plants drop to the soil below and easily take root on the surface of the soil.
It does best in a sunny south-facing window, although it will survive in bright indirect light. It is a succulent and prefers to stay on the dry side. Allow the top half of the soil to dry out before watering thoroughly. In winter, keep it even drier and try to keep temps in the 50 to 60 degree range. It does fine in low humidity. Fertilize very sparingly at half strength and only when it is growing vigorously
This plant will grow quite tall and gangly if it is not pinched or pruned back periodically. It tends to drop off its older leaves, as it grows taller. In time it will bend over as the stems become too tall to support themselves. Pruning will help promote branching. It sometimes flowers if it gets lots of bright light, is kept potbound, and has long days and short nights. It is a nearly pest-free plant.
OMG!! That is so cool! I had one year's ago and was never able to find another. I wonder where you can purchase them? Anyone have any good online sites to purchase succulent/cactus plants???
