#bears paw

LIVE

Spent the morning splitting all these guys up and giving them their own homes

I’ll be honest and I can only positively ID the bear paw kalanchoe (small fuzzy guys with little brown spots). I’m psure, though, that the spiky one with reddish edges is a crassula of some kind, and the rounder one is sedum. I think they all started as fallen leaves taken from garden store displays, so I dont know that I ever actually had the right info on them, if I ever did.

(Pro tip: if you’re broke/cheap, but live near the big guys like a Lowe’s, Home Depot, or anything like that, you can often find fallen leaves all over the place. The leaves are great for starting a plant from propagation. If you’re feeling less risky, I’ve heard from a lot of people that you can haggle over the price of a dying plant, if you’re interested in a challenge. Dying plants may sometimes be too far gone, but you can usually pull off a healthy amount of leaves to start from, and it usually still works out to being cheaper than buying the little 1" starter/filler babies)
