Unpotted and pulled off 2 pups of bromeliade off Johannis and stuck them in the pot with the rubber plant and purslane. Purslane is a workhorse. It's overflowing the pot and is constantly covered with flourescent orange red flowers all day. The black-green mature leaves of the rubber plant are a beautiful contrast with the scarlet sheaths that cover the new leaves, a very nice contrast to the purslane and bromeliad. Kind of a quircky combo though. Reseatted NJ back in her pot and all's well. Still a good looking girl. The pups didn't have much of any stolen so we'll see if they take. The soil in their new pot is moist and kept that way so maybe they'll take hold.
The rubber plant is a slow grower. A cliche indoor plant grows into a large tree down here and the dark, thick leathery leaves are beautiful. The terrace needs dark foliage to add some depth and mystery. Getting a pot of euphorbia today-- i have to find the name of.
A calendar of fertilization needs to be kept. I'm forgetting the last time i fertilized with Plant Tone, etc.
