got dirt?

got dirt? Probably the coolest place to get your plant fix in Macoupin County 😉

This leaf though. 😍I'd say we're coming in around 16 inches wide, still has a bit of that new feel though.

Peace Lily rehab, day 24! She's been outside on the patio (no direct sun, don't worry) for the past few days because mine seems to really be enjoying it out here and I figured why not? Lol.

I'm going to assume that the roots are at least comfortable now, so leaf production is resuming! For now I'm just waiting on a couple of new leaves to come all the way in so I can remove a couple more of the oldest/roughest looking ones.

I think Big Mama is up next. She is at least 30 years old, coming in at exactly 4ft tall, repotted this past winter into a 16"×16" pot so she's still good for a quite awhile.

Full sun will scorch the leaves but does tolerate morning/late afternoon rays here and there. Indoors, pretty much any window will do but south is best. As for watering, every couple of weeks in the summer (or more if we get a stretch of desert temps) and once a month in the indoor/cold months.

Back side has some leaf scarring, I think from being up against a tree or shrub, but otherwise, she's happy and no bugs! I've been removing the old damaged leaves as new ones come in so there's not a ton of ugly bits left.

On that note, I think that's it for the XXL chopping block - stay tuned for future plants you *can* fit into a normal sized vehicle lol

At long last - the new store layout!

If succulents are your thing (or if they're not but you can't help yourself).. I'm putting a sale shelf together and will post a picture in the morning! They still look better than your typical clearance succulents, but I can't keep this up much longer and I will probably never do a large batch of succulents again (because they are not my thing and I will own that 😂)

*I will also post the whole dang store tomorrow - I did take pictures today and then I sold a bunch of plants afterwards and rearranged things again lol

PSA
1) I am for sure closed tonight, Thursday 5/28. There was a slight change in travel days for the summer so we will resume normal Thursday hours after this week and I need to change my board again lol

2) New plants will be here today and ready to go starting tomorrow night!

Got half of my order delivered and repotted today! The hoyas and peace lilies look good! Begonias not so much - one looks okay (but still embarrassing lol), the other two I think will be in rehab at least for a little bit - they were on the side of the box that was smashed in 🙃 maybe we'll have better luck with the other box lol

On that note, change of hours for the summer, starting this week!

-Now closed Thursday nights instead of Friday. That is all. 😁
