Sorry about the flu @gamer00. Deal with quick before it becomes full blown.

Nice photo though.

This plant... why is it growing to the left side? :D
That's a huge angle comparing to the normal position in which plants often grow lol.

It's partly because plants want to grow towards the light, and since this one is situated in front of our livingroom window, it yearns for those afternoon rays and grows ever so hungrily towards the window whenever the sun is shining on our balcony and through, into our livingroom. :)

The other part of it is that I haven't kept turning the pot around every now and then to balance the growth.

Oh, it was obvious about the light. Sometimes I surprise myself how uneducated I am lol.
Well... Plants can even grow from the rocks or almost dead land. So it shouldn't be huge miracle for a plant to grow to the left))

I simply love your plant photos. Everytime there is new one from you, i’m eager to hear story behind it. And it also makes me eager to get more of these green beauties in my own apartment! Aren’t crassulas very slow to grow? So have i heard..

gamer00 (67) 6 years ago

Thanks, I really appreciate the nice words!

I wouldn't say they are slow, alas Wikipedia disagrees. Maybe I've just not kept books on those many years they've taken to grow.

One thing I do know for sure is that if I had only one plant, I could use its leaves to create as many new plants as there are leaves on the original tree, and in a year or two I would have a small forest of jade trees, provided I had enough pots and soil. :)

Thank you for posting dear @gamer00

Vera woke me up in the middle of the night and asked if I shot my daily photo.

Well seems like Vera is in more stress and don't want to let you miss your daily target's and helping you throughout this journey to achieve the Target (365/365)

& how quickly you set up for studio for this shot "Crassula ovata" That is looking really nice ...Excellent shot

I got this plant from my mother as leaf cuttings when Vera and I had moved together sometime after or about 2002

So many memories must have been attached to it always take care of it and keep sharing :)

I've been very tired lately. I have also started sneezing again. Another flu or cold coming up?

Well take care from the start and take proper rest and keep clicking and steem on :)

Have a great Cheerful day ahead

Cheers.

When i said shooting a daily photo was hard work it wan't a lie, even if you where half sleep and a little sick i think you took a very good photo, but i am seeing soup photos coming out next? I hope start feeling well after a good night of sleep. Cheers

@gamer00,
A Steemian told me "Cold Water Shower" is a good way to fight against fever and flu :D I didn't check it, but if you wish you can try! Make a life insurance before that lol :D

Wonderful photography! How many times I told you you are addicted like me do :/

Cheers~
