side note: i really need to remember to avoid taking landscape photos. sorry. they all link to their larger versions so feel free to click on them.

most of the fancy plants here were purchased from https://www.tesselaar.net.au/ and https://www.thejunglecollective.com.au/
lithops from https://www.ozlithops.com/

the planter box got a little smashed, and a couple of the lithops got smacked too.
lithops! aka living stones. view full size and see if you can count how many have sprouted!
i’m really proud of these. i’ve had them since late 2020 and only just planted them, but they sprouted anyway. i’ve heard lithops are quite hard to convince to sprout, so i’m proud of myself for getting it right.
Nepenthes Ampullaria x Viking. carnivorous pitcher plant!
Frizzle Sizzle (Albuca spiralis)

i was worried this one wasn’t going to make it, but he’s doing better now.

  1. You have such a nice garden! I’ve never grown plants myself but it looks like it involves plenty of trial and error. I like the way your plants turned out :3

    1. honestly, i’ve gotten pretty lucky – part of it though is that i planted them with premium soil and have been using fancy-ass fertiliser to keep em growing…
      reminds me, i’ve gotta get another pressure sprayer bottle… and some new pots…
