New Sprouts! - Hungarian Wax Pepper

futuremind (71)in #steemexclusive • 6 years ago

Greetings Steemians,

Today some new additions to the family have arrived. 2 sprouts of Hungarian Wax Pepper Plants. There is also another starting to pop, and one more is expected totaling 4 of these plants.

Here are some close up shots. (I did my best to make these as macro as possible using a smartphone camera.)

They look vibrant and healthy to me.
Let's check on the Jalapeno pepper plants real quick.

They are looking pretty good I think :)

How about the bean plants? A tie down was necessary. I will show a before shot first.

This was not good, and there is a lesson to be learned here. Bean plants need a little space in between each other.

The solution was simple. I utilized a twisty tie from a bag of bread, wrapped around the end of a used incense stick as a stake. I always keep a little space in the loop, so the stalk has room to get bigger. The incense stake is not visible in the photo, but I can always take some photos later on outlining the process if anyone desires to see. It's relatively simple.

Problem solved! Although I am not sure if these will need a bigger pot, I think they might. For now they should be fine.

And lastly, here is a photo of a graptosedum bronze that has lived a hard life with futuremind. Recently I have put it in a new soil, and feel I have finally figured out how to care for this plant properly. It still looks a little rough, but it's actually bouncing back and looked worse before.

There's also a mother graptosedum bronze in the garden hanging on for dear life. I won't even show a photo of the state.. I'm not sure it's going to make it, due to some disease I have not been able to diagnose. The above I am confident will survive. It was the top of the mother plant at one point, and needed to be cut due to etiolation.
