I'm a worried semp moma,the weather was overcast & cold while my Semp.'jade rose' was in it's pot.It took me longer than it should have to get her & the chicks into the bed but they looked great.I left them together curious as to how far they grow away from the parent plant & wanting to see what they would do next.

The morning i planted them into the bed the sun came out and has been out every day since.It had been raining so much we didn't go 2 days without a day of rain,it hasn't only been sunny but it hasn't rained since and the temp has shot up as high as the high 60's -low 70's.Yesterday it looked like we were having more of tthe same sunny & warm until last night the temp started to drop,it rained a touch right about dark thirty then we had this freak wind storm that did a lot of damage around town.

I'm worried about such a climate change from when it was in it's pot until the day it was planted,should i be worried? Sad A few days ago i went out to check on it & the chicks have laid down,they were pushed up from being in a pot it had over grown.The leaves seemed to feel soft not a firm feel but not mushy.Maybe just the shock of transplant? Confused

Wind still blowing so may be a while before i go out to check on it & the others,hopefully nothing blew through my bed!!!Here are some of the most recent pictures taken!!

A green thumb comes only as a result of the mistakes you make while learning to see things from the plants point of view!!
