But not everything is bad—my aloe vera plants grew a lot! They’re actually overdue for a pot change, so I’ll be posting about that soon too.
What brings me here today, though, are some other Moss Roses I found one day while walking down the street. I spotted a planter with a plant I immediately recognized as a Moss Rose, but this one seems to be a different variety. Its stem has more leaves and they’re slightly smaller. The flower is also quite different, but the plant looks so similar that I’m betting it’s a Moss Rose. Still, I’d love to hear in the comments if I’m mistaken. So, I took a little stem and decided to plant it to see what would happen.
Back to what I was saying earlier—I spent a long time neglecting my plants, but not all of them react the same way when you leave them alone for too long. I’ve noticed that many succulents actually thrive when they’re left in peace. For example, my other succulents are full of new shoots, even though I feel bad for forgetting to water them and nearly letting them dry out. Thankfully, they’re doing fine now.
And before I knew it, this plant had grown huge, with lots of delicate and beautiful fuchsia flowers.
One thing I noticed about this plant is that it dropped a lot of seeds, and since it’s in a large pot, it looks like they all spread throughout the soil.
If I’m not mistaken, there are lots of little sprouts growing—maybe I’ll be back soon with an update showing a pot completely full. I guess I’ll have to give some away, which actually makes me really happy. I feel like Moss Roses are perfect flowers, even if they’re fleeting.
I really liked these photos I took—the flowers are so beautiful. Now I’m curious to know what other colors exist. I’d love it if you shared pictures of yours, if you have any. Honestly, I haven’t seen many around—tell me in the comments!
What I love most about this plant is that it truly doesn’t need much care, and it spreads quickly. I’d love to plant them directly in the ground—it must be stunning to have a carpet of flowers in the garden—but I can’t because I have pets.
Also, I’d love to share some ideas on how to decorate with these gorgeous succulents. There are some really creative ways to prune them!
I hope this post serves as a little reminder to pay more attention to your plants. I believe they feel things, in their own way, since they’re living beings. I don’t know how that works exactly, or if there’s a logical explanation, but even when the rain waters them, if they don’t feel the love of their caretaker, they seem dull—sad, even. Maybe it’s just me, hehe.
That’s all for now. I hope to be back soon with more plant varieties. I haven’t been able to expand my little garden much, but seeing beautiful plants around here makes me happy. See you in the next post, mwah. (｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡
