Kevalsha's Plant List: Cactus & Succulents

A note from Kevalsha
I like to grow a variety of plants from trees to many ground-covers. I also grow annuals and vegetables. I always find places for more plants. Using containers for those that need protection from frost and are used as house plants is a good idea. Many climbing varieties grow on my trees including a vanilla orchid that grows on a camphor tree and is hanging in there for the past two winters. I try to create barriers that make protected areas for plants that would normally would not survive the elements in my area.

I purchased this desert rose from a vendor in Eustis about a week ago today.
My adenium obesum dark red is now recuperating from "lack of care". It is having some leaves and hopefully will flower soon.

March 11, 2011: Obtained plant (This plant was purchased by my daughter who lives in the Tampa, FL area. She gave it to me when she moved. Since then I have grown several plants from cuttings from the original plant. I gave my daughter (the one in the Tampa area one of the cuttings which is now a beautiful plant. It is now February 2018 and I still have this plant and several others from the cuttings I took. )

Cactus & Succulents
I grow my moss rose in window boxes, containers and hanging baskets. The fleshy succulent leaves are a pale green that contrasts very well with the rich pink of the flowers. This plant prefers hot and dry, almost desert like conditions, even though if well drained it can withstand a lot of rainfall. The flowers open on sunny days and close at dawn or on cloudy days. The leaves fold at night.

One of my favorite plants I grow it in several spaces in my garden. In containers mainly.

An overwhelming profusion of blooms.
