EagerSleeper posted:But my favorite will always be this smaller plant: Aw yeah, a Ghost Plant! I opened this thread specifically to see if anyone else had a ghost plant. They're so freaking cool! I don't know why I like them so much. I Googled them one time and some lady made a VERY long post about her ghost plant and ended the post with "I couldn't imagine living without it!". I thought it was hilarious and kinda weird but... I love the ghost plant. I love having it in my life  So, I have 3 ghost plants that are quite small (less than 6 inches) that I grew from a leaf. I have seen pictures online (and your picture) where they are real low to the ground and spread out. Mine are tall and "leggy". I wonder why that is? How can I get them to grow outward instead of upward? I had a ghost plant maybe 6 months ago that I lovingly nurtured from a single leaf (as was mentioned earlier, if you just take a leaf off and put it on top of moist soil it'll make a new plant). Anyway my fiance went to water it and knocked the pot over and all the leaves fell off and it died. I was so sad. None of the leaves that fell off would propagate either, they were too damaged. So I had to start completely over. EDIT: I believe it's Graptopetalum paraguayense. Yours looks pretty much identical to mine, the leaf color/shape in particular. They're almost pearly irridescent and some have a tinge of pink. Zombie Defiler posted:I saw some beautiful cactus flowers the other day when I was driving past a cow pasture where a few cacti have cropped up. Brilliant bright yellow on top of a smallish cactus that looked like it had paddle shaped segments. I don't know anything about propagating cacti but I do know that you can eat those flower petals, they're delicious and taste like candy. I eat them whenever I find them! razz fucked around with this message at 00:11 on Apr 27, 2013 |

Oh okay, awesome! It probably didn't help that I started growing the plant indoors in the middle of winter. My house has NO good indoor places for plants so I have them all next to a window under a full spectrum grow light. It's really not ideal but... it's the best I can do for now. Good thing is, I'm moving in a couple weeks so we'll be able to put the plants outdoors in a nice sunny spot so hopefully they'll get a little fuller! Thanks! I just want it to get all huge and awesome looking. We also have a pretty cool Patchouli plant that my fiance rescued from near-death. Yes the hippie/incense Patchouli. When you crush the leaves a little bit it gives off a really strong smell. It's really nothing to look at, it's just ordinary green leaves on an ordinary brown stem. But I think its cool!

I have a Boston Fern and it keeps producing these leafless "stems" that come horizontally away from the plant and out of the pot. They will get like a foot long (or perhaps longer) and they're really thin, way thinner than a regular stem with leaves. What are these? They don't produce leaves. They don't appear to be "going" anywhere (like into the soil), what's up with them? It's almost like a vine. They grow from the ends because the last inch or so will be green and the whole rest of it is brown/dead looking. I just cut off part of one and stuck it into the soil, I wonder if it will make a new fern?
