I also planted these succulents to have some greenery inside the house. I read that they are very easy to care for - they need very little water.
But apparently one day I gave them too much water because this is how they look now.
Yes, that blob of a thing in the middle was once that pretty green flowery succulent. :( |
I know, I know. How could I possibly go wrong with these? The red cactus appears to be fine, but where it meets the dirt - the stem is brown and it's almost breaking off. I feel so sad for my plants.
However, on the positive side, when I bought my house, it did come with some plants & flowers that were very low maintenance. I haven't had to do anything to them except leave my sprinklers set to regular watering and occasional pruning.

After |
These calla lilies didn't even start growing until this year and I've had my house for 2 years! They're so pretty and bloomed like crazy.
I pulled these onions (there were tons more too) out of my backyard. I was pulling some weeds and these were in a patch of them. I didn't even know they were there! (No, my garlic wasn't growing purple flowers. The garlic was growing in between 2 of my society garlic plants).
And somehow, I've managed to keep this delphinium going strong. It got so tall and bloomed several times with huge, pretty purple flowers.
I had some gerbera daisies that started out strong in early spring, but petered out very quickly. I think our crazy spring/winter weather l that we had freaked them out.
So, it seems anything new I've brought to the house isn't doing so well. I guess I'll just stick to the ones that were already here. And when I have the patience again, I'll try my hand (thumb?) at the whole gardening thing again.
