Juicy poinsettias… forbidden grapes… forbidden honey… forbidden cheeto dust… smh.

The seeds on my salmon poinsettia were falling off, so I picked the loose ones before they get my window sill all sticky. Apparently once they are all brown and dried out, the seeds inside these seed pods will be ready for planting. I have no idea what they will look like inside there lol, but I’m excited nonetheless. The smell of this poinsettia is something like the smell of dark chocolate, so it was very tempting to lick the pollen and juice off my fingers. (But I didn’t!)

Also it looks like my red poinsettia is making a new bloom!! So late in the season!! Idk what to do! I was going to repot them into their larger pots, but if it’s about to flower maybe I should wait it out… my room never has seasons anyway, I always keep it as warm as I can, so I’m wondering if this will mess with the poinsettias’ annual cycles… They require pure darkness in the evening in fall, but if the temperature is wrong, idk if I will get them to bloom again properly… (I was kinda using them as a test run for when I plant another green plant that requires special dark hours as well but maybe I’m better off planting those ones outside.)

Anyway, once the pink one is done with growing the last seed pods, I will repot that one, and probably the red one at the same time. I have the pots and plant stands all ready for ‘em, I’m just impatiently waiting for the seeds. (And also hoping I can get some of the seeds to acclimate to our outdoors weather!)

How are YOUR poinsettias holding up?

My Christmas Cactus surprised me with another flower!!!!

This was the Schlumbergera bridgesii I bought and immediately had to transplant because I didn’t have a pot big enough, and all the blooms fell off right away before they all opened. I’m so glad this one likes this spot on my windowsill, and I’m ESPECIALLY glad that it enjoys being in a pot with no holes on the bottom. I feel very validated. (I HATE when pots have to have a plastic liner pot inside them.)

I’ve had success multiple times with keeping hole-less pots, but online people always freak out when they see it happen unsuccessfully. I know my room’s temperature and air humidity well enough to know how to water these. (I actually water this Christmas Cactus like every other day! This window gets very hot, and paired with my space heater usage, it NEEDS a few drops to keep a consistent atmosphere.)

Anyway, I’m very happy to see this neon pink flower open up. The rest of my Christmas Cactus pieces all got planted into hanging planters above my vanity recently (I got sick of having too many small pots of them taking up so much space), so hopefully hy the time they grow a bit more, they’ll all drape some flowers down the sides for me.

(Also, please ignore the corner of failed moss rehydration in the last pic… I’m actually gonna add a different moss and let that grow on this stuff instead of try to rehydrate the dried stuff.)
