The final chapter of a 11-month flowering journey

Thanks for remembering to tag me!!!!
I was not expecting it to look like that once it opened. That was a very long time waiting for it to open. Who would of thought the process would take that long.

I definitely was not expecting the fuzzy parts to be of such a vibrant colour; big too. But I am loving the woody flower it leaves behind after the seeds are gone.

Oh; I also got myself a small succulent plant.

I have to baby sit it when Soju is around though; until Soju understands it is not to be eaten! She has attempted to give it a bite a few times. Especially the first time she came into contact with it; she kept sniffing and licking her lips.

When I went to another garden store yesterday; I saw heaps of cool succulents. I couldn't help myself to touch all of those who were fuzzy lol.

There is also this other plant I saw that I really liked. The leaves are furry and when you touch it; it feels like you are touching cats' ears!! Or bunny ears. I was wondering if I should get this as well; but I have to check if it is safe for Soju first; also it grows pretty big; probably not good for a desk plant. Do you know if it is safe for cats?

That's an interesting plant for sure! It's new to me but as far as I can tell, it would be safe for Soju. They can get big but they grow very slowly and it may even like being on your desk.
The succulent you have now is a crassula and they are pretty tough although they do like morning sun.
Do you grow grass for Soju? You can get grass seed kits for cats or even grow wheat grass for her, which should reduce her urge to snack on your pot plants

Originally I wanted a money tree plant; in particular the Pachira aquatica; but I could not find any in store. Hummm; I was just thinking; would it be possible to plant other succulents under this plant? Do succulents mix well with other plants? We have a couple of other succulents we saw that we really liked. Wait; I just read the information that was at the store on this plant; it says its 'Sinningia' a succulent plant...so it should be fine to plant other succulents around it yea?

Oh no; they like morning sun...... I don't get much light inside the house where I stay....I might have to take them outside for a bit from time to time. Oh I do hope I don't kill them.

Yes I do grow grass for Soju; I had to keep them outside because Soju destroys them too quickly. So I cut blade by blade and feed them to her so they can keep growing.

yes, you can plant succulents together, as long as the water and light requirements are the same

Cool! I will need to double check those requirements on the other succulents; I don't remember the names of them; will check in store next time I go. Thanks for your help!
