SUCCULENT TREE

I saw this online during the holidays. It is amazing but takes a lot of cuttings. It can be easily done in a smaller scale using chicken wire and moss. The tree will stay fresh for a very long time, much longer than a regular pine tree.

My next project. Saw this picture frame online. I have all the plants I need, just have to look for or make the frame.  Just waiting for warmer weather.

My yellow Crown of thorns. I am surprised that this is doing well and surviving the winter storm and cold temperatures  we are having. It continues to bloom in spite of the rain and freezing temperature. Will start to propagate when it gets warmer.

We had a frost last week and it affected a few of my succulents. It is so tempting to cut off the damaged branches and tops of the plants but I know I have to wait till spring to prune them all. I moved most of the plants underneath the eaves for protection from the frost. Some I covered with plastic cloth during the night.

                                     

                                                          PLUMERIA



Somebody put a cutting on a sidewalk for free and I picked it up. Let it callous for 3 days and planted it. So happy to see new growth in a week and flowers to boot. I don't have this color of Plumeria so I                                                                     am so excited. Freebies don't come by too often.

                                                          Epiphyllum Dutchman's Beard

This variety of Epiphyllum looks different from the rest. The leaves are softer and thinner. It is easy to propagate and does well in the Los Angeles area. It has a very nice fragrance but the flowers don't last very long.
