My love has admitted she does not have a green thumb, yet her Orchards are going amazingly well. Her babies as she calls her plants have always thrived under her care. Next time they flower, I'll place a photo here.My laelia orchid bloomed for the first time.
2 big beautiful flowers. They opened on the most perfect day possible. She would have been 2, and I bought this plant in her memory. So, this is by far the most special flower show of my life. 2 flowers for her 2nd unbirthday. I miss my baby.

Good luck with your date seed (plant) I have planted one and now it has five long leaves on it after a few years in a 5" pot. I would separate your loquat seedlings to their own pots sooner rather than later before the roots become too entwined with each other making it harder to divide them and cause more transplant shock.I've really gotten into plants the last three to four years. I started with some basics but unfortunately even though I tried to do my due diligence and learn about the plants I would buy, they'd die. Really had a black thumb and have have for the most part have found my way to a green thumb. My apartment doesn't get the best lighting here in LA so I've invested in having grow lights to help with that which has made a huge difference. At this point I have accumulated way too many plants. I probably have like 20 something in my bedroom alone. So I'm at that stage in the game where if I really want to buy a plant, it has to be a thoughtful choice which happens to be rarer plants which is costly. I would say that I have found that favor philodendrons and most of my collection are of that family. For whatever reason no matter what I do, I do not do well with prayer plants or begonia rexs and I'm totally fine with that now. I recently started experimenting with fruit seeds that I had and am growing my own loquats and they're doing really well! I probably will need to separate them at some point as I threw like nine seeds in one medium sized pot. They might make nice gifts for friends of mine who own homes! Also just tried throwing a date seed into some soil and theres like an inch of growth out of nowhere. Random choices but hey its fun.

Rounding out the Florida sucks balls but has a great fall growing season garden. While melon hunting I found this...
This rest of the garden is packed with tomatoes, cuz yummy, peas, peppers, herbs and critter/crawly friendly plants.
My froggo/gecko window is a huge hit for the kittehs *no sticky toed beings are injured* I'm looking for a plant to attract night feeding buggies to the window. Something that doesn't smell like a bucket of week-old anus left out in the sun.
I have been growing my date plant for at least 3 or 4 years maybe longer I don't remember exactly how long. I would keep the taller loquat and one or two other as a backup and gift the rest.Thank you! How long have you been growing your date for?
Good point, I'll definitely separate them soon and gift a few away since I don't have enough available pots at the moment and really don't need nine haha. I'd say they're all around from the soil up, 5 - 6 inches tall, though the first one that sprouted is a solid inch taller than the rest.
