Today it was the turn of some plants to be recovered in the nursery, such as a Caladium, three vicarias, a fireball lily, and a centavito plant.
These plants really need a change of soil. The plants grow by inertia because their soil does not help them.
This is the Scadoxus multiflorus lily, colloquially known in my country as fireball or lily ball. It has tried to emerge from its bulb several times, but since I didn't have a good substrate to put it in, it simply shed its leaves and went into recession until it grew new leaves as it has now. I hope to see its flowers in the near future.
Pilea depressa is commonly called Little penny; its small leaves grow in a small group of about five leaves together. The pot it was in ran out of nutrients, and the soil did not drain, so now it has a new substrate that drains better. It has enough dry sticks and rice husks to loosen the soil.
There are a few Anturius left; I have sold almost all of them. I only have two plants of the same color, and this little one that refuses to grow in compacted soil. It has two leaves, which I recovered today by placing it in a black bag with new substrate so that it can thrive.
I haven't had much success with vicarious plants, or Catharanthus roseus, as they are scientifically known. Apart from selling a few vicarious plants, many of them haven't survived. I say I haven't had success with some that I've transplanted because when I moved them into the sun, they decided not to continue growing and died.
I can't keep them in the shade for long because, as you can see, the effect of not having sun on them is that their branches grow long and leafless.
I have just transplanted them into a black bag with more substrate and pruned them in search of more vicarious plants.
I have several baskets left that I am going to reuse to put ferns in them this week.
That's all for now.
