Want more colour from your succulents? Look closely ๐Ÿ‘‰ here is a lesson about succulents โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿ”ด๐ŸŸข

Look at the pictures quickly and read this. Notice how the top part of the plant is more red than the bottom. MORE SUN, MORE COLOUR ๐ŸคŒ๐ŸคŒ

The top part of this plant is getting the sun. The bottom is in the shade. These pictures literally capture this lesson in one picture ๐Ÿ˜Œ

If it is in the shade most of the day, it wonโ€™t get as much colour as it would have as if were in the sun ๐Ÿ™Œ

If you want more colour from your succulents, just give them more sun ๐Ÿ˜Œ if your succulents are inside or a place where they are shady, itโ€™ll be an interesting experiment for you to move it to a more sunny spot and see what happens ๐Ÿ˜‡

Thats how I am able to take these pictures and show you โ˜บ๏ธ this is a variegated plant. Itโ€™s in my swan necks hanging in full sun and itโ€™s gotten so much colour compared to the usual place variegated succulents should grow. Variegated plants usually like cool areas. This one gets a red edge when itโ€™s in the sun ๐Ÿ˜Œ

See you soon

Succulent rule: โ€œthe SMALLER the pot, the SMALLER the plantโ€ ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡

This green plant is called the taco plant. Itโ€™ll stay this small for a very long time because there isnโ€™t much soil for it to use to get bigger ๐ŸŒฑ ๐Ÿชด

Moss also prevent succulents from growing large in pots ๐Ÿ˜Œ

The result is that this plant will stress and stay reasonably small. For this taco, itโ€™ll just grow super slowly and stay small ๐Ÿ˜‡ As for the pink Echeverias on either side however, they turn even more pink when they become pot bound and stress and their leaves get nice and stubby and sharp ๐Ÿ˜‹ and they stay small of course ๐Ÿ˜‚

Hence the rule, the smaller the pot, the smaller the plant ๐ŸคŒ๐ŸคŒ the opposite is also true ๐Ÿ‘‰ the BIGGER the pot, the BIGGER the plant ๐Ÿซ ๐Ÿคฃ

Go look at your plants and notice which have become pot bound bonsais and show me in the comments!! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿ‘‡

Thank you for this past weekend ๐Ÿ™Œ๐ŸคŒ๐ŸคŒ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿคฉ

The people are the best part about the markets. East London and PE at Filthys - THANK YOU ๐Ÿ™

East London ๐Ÿ‘‰ it was great to brave the rain and weather with you to share our amazing love for succulents ๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ˜Œ catching up with you and your plants brings me much joy ๐Ÿ‘ thank you.

Filthys, the Farmers market is the only stall I do because it capsules what you can expect at the Open day. Literally bringing the farm to town ๐Ÿ™Œ making the display with lucern bales and two pitch forks to display the hanging plants was so fun to design. A real โ€˜n boer maak โ€˜n plan situation ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ the stall space was so compact it made for some awesome close encounters ๐ŸคŒ๐ŸคŒ GREAT VIBES ๐Ÿ™

Oh and thank you for you and everyone who also got pre orders and for trusting me to deliver your paid for plants in a world where scams are all over ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ

Cheers to new and old friends.

Ps there is no Open day in July. Iโ€™m at the Grahamstown art fest. I know people say its not what it used to be but nothing is what it used to be ๐Ÿ˜† the vibe is actually great. You just need one day anyway and the festival is still huge and beats any festival besides wildfees. So the next open day will be 1 August.

See you soon

This plant is called the Sunburst ๐Ÿ˜

Itโ€™s head size gets quite large - like more than 30cm ๐Ÿ‘€ and itโ€™s stem nice and long too ๐Ÿ‘Œ

Itโ€™s a great rare succulent to have in your garden due to itโ€™s crazy colours as well as the shear size thereof. Warning though, it doesnโ€™t make too many babies so donโ€™t expect a lot of babies from it ๐Ÿ˜‡ thats why itโ€™s rare!

Theyโ€™re also winter growers so they should be looking real beautiful this time of the year ๐ŸคŒ๐ŸคŒ

Enjoy the pictures ๐Ÿ˜‹

These strings look amazing when the winter sun shines through their leaves ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

They are called the sting of bananas ๐ŸŒ and they have a little window in their green leaf that is translucent ๐ŸคŒ๐ŸคŒ this allows the sun to SHINE through that slit to make such beautiful bright green leaves ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จโ˜บ๏ธ wow!

Then I saw a string of watermelons ๐Ÿ‰ doing the same thing ๐Ÿ˜ theyโ€™re both from the Senecio family - The same family of the string of pearls ๐Ÿ™Œ small world!!

This slit allows it to grow in low light conditions like indoors as well as outdoors ๐Ÿ™Œ ๐Ÿก

These are called Echeveria ๐Ÿ‘‡ pronounced โ€œek-kev-veriaโ€. Echeveria. ๐ŸŒผ

Theyโ€™re the classic succulent. They have little baby thorns on their leaf tips and their tips often go red when theyโ€™re in the sun ๐Ÿ˜

They are the reason they call succulents โ€œRock rosesโ€ ๐ŸคŒ๐ŸคŒ

Also pronounced โ€œEtche-veriaโ€ by others ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ with an emphasis on the โ€œchโ€ โ€œchโ€.

Go look at your succulents and see how many Echeverias you spot ๐Ÿ˜‹

Sun sun beautiful sun.
It was awesome this morning .
Thanks to all that came out to the open day. Sorry about the wet and sloshy grass at the far end but for the rest it was dry.
We hope the new layout suited everyone with the new sales areas being more accessible and having a greater variety of plants to choose from.
See you all at the next one only in August as we will be at the National Arts Festival in July.
Till then,
Ciao
