My daughter Noe got me interested in succulents in early 2016 and ever since we've been on a quest!!! Naturally with so many new plants around, we needed pots to put all of them into. The typical pots you can buy from the big box stores just don't have character that suits these incredibly interesting plants. So we've both been making our own pottery. And now we're branching out into other plants - Aeroids, Orchids and Citrus!!! Check out what our green thumbs have been doing!!!

Planting Hylocereus coastaricensis Seeds
We ate a Red Dragon Fruit that was locally grown on the Big Island and it was very delicious. So delicious that we decided to grow some of our own. Looking on the internet, I found this ziplock bag method of germinating and rearing the seedlings.
If these germinate and grow into small plants (6 to 10 days to germinate, 2 months to grow past the deciduous leaf stage into cacti), it should take another couple of years before the first fruits are harvested. But a journey of a thousand miles starts with one step... I'll post more as these grow (or not).
