I’m 3 weeks in the new apartment and I’m enjoying it, ahaha. It’s been fun changing up how my husband and I styled our apartment. I am trying to spread out my plants instead of having them all in the same room.

I’ve moved the plants I want to the balcony, and I think I have some room to add a couple more plants out there.

I originally was thinking of getting an elephant foot or sago palm but as soon as I saw the cacti in Arizona I KNEW I was going to buy all the cacti I can before January, so I can really enjoy them before moving out of the state; although, my husband let me know tonight that he said he could stay 2 years here even though it’s only been 3 weeks since we moved to Arizona, ahaha.

Anyways, what type of cacti I don’t really have a preference for a particular genus or whatever.

I bought the golden rat tail and it’s getting adjusted to the intense lighting with my monkey tails they might go out onto the balcony next. The burro tail is doing fantastic in the west facing balcony, ahaha.

It’s been a little chaotic for a couple of my plants. I broke a couple arms off my sansevieria francisii while helping my husband put up curtains. I have them in water to see if they will do anything. But I thought I was pretty funny trying to be Wolverine, ahaha.

I already rotted a golden rat tail or it came rotted from the nursery…..so I cut the little man in half so it’s even smaller but I hope it makes it. I just watched WildFern video on her monkey tail propagation progress so I feel a little confident in what I’m doing.

It’s been a little whack for the plants as they’ve been repotted, moved from room to room multiple times a day, broken, sunburned, or rotting, but I honestly didn’t even get angry, just rolled with the punches. They’re plants – I can get new ones at any time. They’re actually sort of resilient green buggers. I repotted a bunch of plants a week after arriving here, and I realized I didn’t have a lot of planter options for what needed to be repotted. I had just enough but the next repot is going to be sketch if I don’t find big planters.  They’re not cheap and finding nursery pots that aren’t a weird shape is not easy, so I don’t know what to do in that area yet. But side note, ohmygosh my yucca and the dracaena needed to repotted so badly! Especially the poor dracaena – that little man was sucking up water waaaay too often.

Even with the odd mishaps I am content with my little slice of life here. I am well.
