Hello, dear friend of Hive Blog!❤️
Welcome to my sweet garden blog!
Today I'll tell you what I was doing today. I've been waiting for a weekend day to do some work on my ornamental garden. Notice how my cacti fell over. It seemed strange to me. This event had happened previously because one of my adult tortoises went into the garden and walked with her body above all.
The result had been a catastrophe. Broken cacti, destroyed plants, turtle bites here and there. The horror scene for a gardener. And all under the rain of approximately July.
My garden recovered, and is even more beautiful since then.
Until a few days ago. I dedicated myself today to finding the cause. It turns out that there were 3 not very compatible plant species in the same pot.
What you see in the cover image is the pot of my cacti. It was next to the one with the clovers. So these expanded towards her. Some lochitas also entered this game. Both are plants that require sufficient humidity to develop.
Rotten parts of cactus. Underground, when it rots, a kind of implosion occurs where only the light membrane that covers the cactus remains. The interior disappears, turning into compost, as in the first image
The base of my cacti rotted. There were several rotten parts. I cut them. I moved the soil by pulling out some roots.
My beautiful cacti again alone in their pot.
I replanted my cacti, taking only the healthy parts. While the others are now part of the plant fertilizer that I am collecting.
Clovers to plant | Sown clovers
You'll wonder what happened to all the clovers I pulled. Don't worry! I don't have enough pots, so I planted them along with their siblings. I hope you are comfortable there and surprise me as this plant always does.
There is more news
Now I have a new plant in the garden. I finally have a mother-in-law's tongue, whose scientific name is Sansevieria Trifasciata. What is it called in your country?
My mother-in-law's tongue
I planted it in this temporary pot, while it grows a little more.
I also took advantage of moving the cacti that I was telling you about to another place, its new roommate is a small succulent that looks like a dwarf aloe vera.
Two companions on their new adventure
This place will keep them a little away from the lochitas, which enter the pots from below, forming roots and invading the space of other species. It will also help keep clovers away from them.
I think it's beautiful that clovers and cacti grow together. But, I am not sure that it is a good combination according to the requirements of each plant.
My dear leafy clovers
Meanwhile, my clovers will remain in their individual pots. I water them abundantly in the mornings when I get up, or in the afternoons (in case I forget). This helps me a lot to make them look like you see in the photo, leafy.
Did you know that touching clubs recharges you with energy?
I notice that they grow much more when I water them 2 times a day. If I do it this way, I have to reduce the amount of water, I don't want to rot its roots.
That's all for today, I hope to bring more interesting news soon.
