I really like how this pairing turned out!!!
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!!!

More Repotting - the Rock Ficus
I've been observing a majority of the plants with true leaves are getting ready for a fall push - the days are getting shorter and the temperatures, while still on the warm side, are definitely starting to drop off. With that should come more leaves and sugar production until "winter" starts and leaves drop. I've been wanting to pair this plant and this pot together for some time now, but the to do list kept growing. I managed to get way ahead on this three day weekend so it was time to repot the Ficus petiolaris.
I trimmed off a bunch of the hair roots, and used a mostly dry stall mix with some cinder and only a little cactus mix. I did add a bunch of Osmocote so the plant has plenty of nutrients to draw from for the fall push.
I really like how this pairing turned out!!!
