I went for a walk today and dropped into Home Depot as I was passing by, just to have a look at the plants, and what should I spy there among the succulents, but a pleiospilos! Two of them, even. I thought the one that swords had shown the other day was pretty spiffy, so I just couldn't resist buying them.
They're here now, and they'll be the easiest plants I ever cared for, I think, since they're currently growing the second pair of leaves, so I figure all I have to do is let them sit in the windowsill without watering.
Edit: Got a photo. It also shows some of the aloe vera pups that I'm trying to get to root so I can pot them up and hopefully trade them to somebody for something nice.
I'd wanted to top them with gravel and a few rocks, but I didn't have any gravel. Then I remembered that I had a whole heap of pietersite gravel left over from something else, and, well... I'm probably not the first person ever to have a top layer of semi-precious stones, but I gather it's not all that common. Since it was so shiny, I went ahead and added some larger tumbled stone chunks, there's everything from meteorites to sapphires on there now. I'm probably very silly. And I will probably eventually pull it all off and put regular gravel on. But I like how it looks.
