Miniatures/Succulents

A little over a year ago (early summer - 2024) when I was just starting on my horticultural adventure, a neighbor-lady brought me a jar full  of Jade plant cuttings & asked if I would like to have them..

I gratefully accepted & in a few days time, some of the cuttings were showing tiny roots and so this odyssey began.

I potted a couple in very small bowls & realized that they looked like little bonsai..gave a couple away to various folks, which promoted my thinking.

Soon I had rooted cuttings "coming out my ears"..when someone suggested I offer them for sale in our community thrift store. Our building is largely tenant-run & has a very active tenant association (they call it a co-op) in that we regularly host luncheons, brunches, & decorate for holidays..these activities have costs attached which are not paid for by the management company & so the proceeds from the Thrift Store go to help pay for those activities.

Now I'm having trouble getting small pots like these at a reasonable cost since the
source for these is China. But the real upside to this story is my exposure & introduction to Succulents, of which I shall write in a future post.
