Gymnocalycium ochoterenae - started from seed 2/7/23. I love how much personality it has despite being a wee thing.

My newest plant... An unused Chayote squash that decided to vine on the counter. It's been growing like this for about a month 😅🌱 #gardenshour
A weird green wrinkly squash is growing a long stem and vines with a few small leaves. It is not potted.

🎢 🌡️ It's getting to be that time of year! Houston will see a 2-day cold dip with lows in the 40Fs before warming back up to 80F+. I bought a new table cloth for the grow light set up in my garage just in time! Most of my succulents will be fine outdoors but the seedlings need the warmth.

It's night time and there are more succulents and cacti behind him under a pergola lit with string lights.

In Virginia, the governor and attorney general races are especially important. In Pennsylvania, remember to vote YES on the retention of the Supreme Court justices on the ballot. In California, vote YES on Proposition 50.

🧟‍♀️ An oddity of a flower for #gardenshour - Dorstenia bahiensis feature some really strange inflorescences. The surface is covered with both male and female clusters of flowers. The seeds will pop out and go who knows where if you don't catch them first.

When I first saw this on my porch wall last night I was like what the heck kinda critter is that? Some weird Robber fly or something? Nope. Just a Plexippus paykulli Jumping Spider dining on a bright green Lacewing adult. I rather it didn't eat my pest control but 🤷🏽‍♀️

🔬 🌱 You're looking at Euphorbia platyclada seeds under a USB microscope. You can see parts of the capsule and the old male flower. I couldn't find any photos of them online so I'm changing that today 🙏 Really cool stuff.

This video shows how I am using a bin and some screen to 'trap' my Euphorbia platyclada seeds. I also start the seeds in sterile soil.

Here's an extra weird weirdo for y'all, Acanthocereus tepalcatepecanus - tuberlicious! If you breathe on these plants, a segment will drop, like this one did, but they easily root and form these wild chonky-tonk tubers in time.

Hello #GardensHour! I'm Andrea, and most of my plants are potted succulents. It's finally going to be less than 90F/32C for the next week or so here in Houston, so looking forward to getting a lot of plant chores done! 🌱
A cozy outdoor patio covered by a wooden pergola with a clear roof, filled with potted succulents and tropical plants on shelves and hanging baskets. Wooden chairs and a table create a relaxed seating area surrounded by lush greenery, with warm sunlight filtering through the roof.

Waiting for that pop...! Euphorbia seed pods are explosive, and if you want to catch the seeds, you've gotta take measures.
