Deebie,
Glad you like the 'Rose Quartz'.
once again.
Hate to say it but I found it at that dreaded, evil place that starts with a 'W' and ends in mart. I also hate to say it but it seems every plant I've gotten there and in Big Box stores has grown, and thrived where as the ones I get from nurseries don't.
Added bonus they're so cheap. Look on the racks where they have tiny cacti and you'll find a lot of the really cute 'bubbles', Trichocereus, Lobivias, Chamelobivias, etc.
All of these can be perfect for such small spaces, containers, baskets and beds. Of course when they get big-er you can put them out in the yard and start over with some new varieties.
Also, SAVE YOUR RECEIPT AND THE POT IT CAME IN if you buy it at the place that starts with 'W'. (Helps if you got dead plant too but this is not necessary. Our 'W' takes back everything!!! ).
If the plant croaks for some reason
they will take it back 30 days as long as you have these! Unbelievable but they will and give you a refund or exchange for same/similar plant!
I'll have to take a picture of my .40 cent....YEP, read that right..., .40 cent Aloes I bought last June or July. They got water logged/overwatered by some zealous employee or sprinkler system and looked wilted so they were selling them for .40cents
Uhm...all they needed to do was sit in the sun and dry out to go back to normal as they weren't rotten. They were much bigger than pups and good sized 'small plants' so I snapped up a whole bunch and you ought to see them now!
A lot of times you can pick up goodies like this in these places too!
Hate to advertise for them but like to pass on good tips and bargains that you may find in the most unlikely or unusual places, so enjoy them for what they're worth.
Here's the 'Rose Quartz' with a double bloom
Here's a bunch of the 'bubbles' I picked up all from $2.50-$5.00 each when I started that small space.
I will go take a photo of those Aloes (A. Vera) and post them later.
