      "body": "No buds on either of the two plants I have.  But I am seeing *sap*? or something forming sporadically on the leaves here and there.  Then, I guess, the wind blows and I get several leaves stuck together in a clump.   \n\n\n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQma4ybEqnJFXUxj59o5h2dVz1RoG3i1NRu1i62umHHUk8i/image.png)\n</center>\n\n\nIt seems that it is related to hot weather, but I cannot be sure. I have seen Mary Jane a bit wilted in mid afternoon, but the avocado plant does the same.  I am guessing that the leaves wilt, then the wind blows breaking the soft skin of the leaves.   \n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmWXF1KWbeja8mwmT959zJq3Y3b53vNshs37a76xi5Pu84/image.png)\n</center>\n\n\nEveryone knows that marijuana leaves are not the potent part of the plant. But when I was young, people would sell bags of marijuana which contained all parts of the plant, even stems.  There were buds mixed in too but that is the way they came from the dealers (fellow students in high school).  If you bought a 'lid', it was an ounce of pot. \n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmVbCtCD96FtuD7q93chCoy9A7QKwLEZDFZTJNfB4mY2mY/image.png)\n</center>\n\n\nI think a lot of what is sold today is mostly buds.  I have never bought pot in the 20 years that I have lived in South America, but I have seen people roll a \"blunt' from time to time.  \n\n\nLike everything else, there are cheap Chinese toys that break ten minutes after you buy them, and there are quality ones made anywhere else that last months if not years. Pot dealers are quality focused or rip off artists.  You have to know the good ones from the bad.  \n\n\n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmemaLXHsGidp6vGyUJfqqfy83NZ96JU3AYfijHfWjKB3t/image.png)\n</center>\n\n\nBecause my plants are outside and I see them several times per day, I may have noticed this cheat code!  If this is sap, it could be better potency than plain leaves would be.  \n\n\n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmbfok3LwkP4MnivNmAmbTzVxxf8yqgfzkXhq74pZTpjB4/image.png)\n</center>\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThese have no buds yet this year but  they have got a lot of new growth sprouting from the branches, right out of the \" wooden \" part, if the stem can be called wood.   Whatever grows in these two pots is all bonus!  I was watering dead looking plants four months ago, and you saw them come back to life.   I cannot complain. \n\n\n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmPWTrPU5ZDDvspjTkRZTNGBEG8ES2hGHcpt41AKB7NKr1/image.png)\n</center>\n\n\n\n\nToday, I saw the same sticking phenomenon.  I twisted and rilled the withered leaves and plucked some off, put it in a pipe, and slowly heated it while drawing on it.  It did not taste like leaves do.  It had more of a bud like flavor and affect.  \n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmd4ZuAM3Dq5SskPyxLhLAvzZV7HoN1zA6Ps8m3dihHBRf/image.png)\n</center>\n\n\nI have a lot of spiders in my garden, even those tiny *jumping spiders*, which are the only ones that I do not mind.  They are happy to jump on your hand if you put it close to them.  They have no fear because they can always get away.  They are faster than we are. \nReally hard to photograph with a cell phone though.\n\n\n<center></center>\n\n\nWell now that I have had a few hits of these sticky leaves, I can say that the buzz is a lot like what I remember hash to be like when I was in high school.  I remember seeing a video, more than 10 years ago,\nhow hash is made. I saw women who had leather aprons, and they were going through the fields and touching the plants, then rolling some substance on their aprons.  I assumed it  was pollen from the buds, but I cannot remember.  What the process produced was called  finger hash because it was the size of a finger, some were longer than a finger.  \n\n\n\n\nThoughts and guesses of what is happening are welcome.  Should I try making hash with it?  --  I may be taking a nap after I have some munchies though.  It's been a long time and I am not used to this.\n \n\n\n\n\n**For all of you that have been following along**, I hope this post has quenched your thirst for more info on how the Mary Jane patient is doing.    Summer is at its peak here in the  deep-down-under. Growth is abundant too.   \n\n\n---\n\n\nThanks for following and commenting on my posts.  Your support is appreciated!",

      "body": "I have consolidated  the three trays in which new plants come into existence. I am using a much larger trey now and the babies have all moved to the new location, all in one tray, and am going to try to  section it as I propagate more species of plants.\n\n  But before we look at the new tray, let's talk about why I moved everything in the first place. With several active traps, I wanted to get the new Venus Flytrap into its own pot and that process requires  much caution when compared to the Drosera.  If I lose a Drosera, I have many many more.  The Venus is my first successful try at leaf propagations.  \n\n### Repotting Baby Venus\n\n\nStep one:  move every other plant to another tray and slowly reduce the amount of moss that is around it, looking for where its roots are.   In this picture, you see our Venus, and that is my pinky for size comparison.  \n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmZNuWC1Nn4ArmYy1GPZgX8JRx2YepksQBg1XgP5TpazCe/image.png)\n</center>\n\nYou also have the new pot close to it so there is no chance of dropping the plant in transit.  There is also an important part in this picture in the upper-right part of the photo.  That is the leaf I had laid in the tray hoping for a successful propagation. \n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmceAs5Km2yqYaKmzj2d7LXWcbfsyuhzQhu1Wo6DWLiX5E/image.png)\n</center>\n\nIt looks like a stick, but the new baby Venus is attached to it and it is using the energy of its 'parent' like a root.  It has no roots of its own as of yet.  If I were to separate the baby plant from its parent leaf at this stage, it would die. \n\nThere is also a smaller Drosera growing under the Venus.   I do not want to separate the two until both are bigger and have their roots developed.  \n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmb1ZwipCoQthKFZPv7iSosFwfHBtUXNAp5LMYANkd2AFG/image.png)\n</center>\n\nNext, I want to mark the pot with a letter, N for north or S for south, so that it will be facing the same way it was when it started growing.   This is not a must, but since I started doing this, I have lost very few plants.  \n\nI fill the pot with moist moss and rotate the pot with the letter facing toward 'north' then scoop the plant up and lay it, and all the moss under it,  on top of the moss in the pot.\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmUGZdb8nuf8SeBJyfwXVcbfMsNYaZL1xDKAAoyqHWLtk8/image.png)\n</center>\n  \nHere is the pot up on the top shelf with the other Flytraps.   The Venus with the dark red traps is in need of a new bigger pot.  It pains me to think of removing one of its leaves in order to make a new plant, but that is the cost one pays to propagate these beautiful plants.\n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmduqdJqs63fMBe6PA1GXcaUqy4dmfSGauxU438gr6Kd6T/image.png)\n</center>\n\nI will get back to the Venus plants in a bit.  But now, let's look at the babies in their tray. \n\n---\n\n### The New Tray\n\nThis kind of soup starts with clippings from any carnivorous plant.  It takes 6 to 12 weeks  for plants to start growing via propagation.   I have added seeds to trays in the past and I have not seen any sprout  into a plant.    Many of these in the tray could be potted but it is a matter of time and space for hundreds of little round pots.  So I pot a few after I sell a few. \n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmQRAu9xKawTVmtGdLXz7DqEnnPcdpFnwfcebZiS2YfHjS/image.png)\n</center>\n\nThe new tray makes more room so they are not all on top of each other. \n\n\nHere is the shot of this tray during the above repotting. \n \n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmXyDYAiScZKche81Gu75ApeutoEMCpAuxLc1c1PhGzH3U/image.png)\n</center>\n\nThis one has some plants sitting in the same water for now.  I put the pitcher plant down  lower due to high winds.   It will stay there until I rearrange things again. \n\n#### The Last Pitcher's Meal\n#\n\nIn [this post](https://hive.blog/hive-140635/@greenthings/updates-pitchers-venus-binata-and-mary-jane-deo), the Sarracenia (the biggest  plant you see above) had just eaten a very large, teaspoon-size, cockroach.   Here is an update on that situation. \n\n\n<div class=pull-left>\n\n*two weeks ago*\nhttps://images.hive.blog/DQmVGpNEJjeaXEitAsuHdT6gv1YEV1iKfZPSGBBfFwZybyn/image.png\n\n\n</div>\n<div class=pull-right>\n\n![roachupdate2.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmSxU2DQ9p8wTQzYCaKb7wGAdHiKR7Lh9rDCLE2pYp9w52/roachupdate2.png)\n*today*\n\n\n</div>\n   \n---\n\n\n\n\nThe one on the right is just a shadow of its former self\n\n\nAnd while I was at it, looking at this pitcher plant I mean, it has a new pitcher rising up to replace some of the older ones as they die off.\n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmboyGDbsezYBRKmzFgwxF3LRgx6dBEeJn1gzf2wVy5Gi5/image.png)\n</center>\n\nThese are filled with air as they grow into shape.  Then they open and form their lid, fill up with the liquid that attracts their prey, and continue to grow and gain their color.\n\nThe above shot was taken this morning when I was  repotting.  I just went out to the patio and looked again.  What a rare moment, It is beginning to open.  Let me take a picture of that for you.\n\n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmSe6yENz6VdrtvPR7tFnPxQ4otaMx9TZuHfpcvTxJ7deN/image.png)\n</center>\n\nTaken with a flash light on it.   \n\nI really love the abilities that these plants have.   There is always something to see with them. \n\n### Binata Potting\n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmPP57pJBkmuhXnZLG222VipC162niarwfhvEeBJj1kTSa/image.png)\n</center>\n\nThis is my fourth Binata Multifida plant this year and it was discovered shortly after the Venus.   I repotted this one because it was close to the Venus and too small to put in the soup of babies.  It may not have survived.   \n\n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmRH1qCJq3ouyzEdYEijfUqzkngBgqdJpbA1YF4GABAtqz/image.png)\n</center>\n\n\nI took it out of the soup and gave it a nice bright green pot.  Still so tiny.\n\n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmZ3uGQPYAU657psozQDd2dk4dTASqcg5mJEmhSPyZFn3Z/image.png)\n</center>\n\n\nThese are the smallest pots I have, only two and a half inches wide (6 cm). That gives you some context related to size.  Bitata plants are one of the best in gnat or mosquito season.  \n\nI could add updates on another 10 plants but I won't.   It is dark out and I want to post before everyone goes to sleep.   \n\n\n---   \n\nThanks for following and commenting on my posts.  Your support is appreciated!",

      "body": "These plants do not need umbrellas, they are 100% hydrophobic right from nature.  \n \n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmSq5Etb32GQtbkUKXjUjL6ktXhkW1vQoMnN7CmLcMTHG4/image.png)\n</center>\n\nI was able to find a places where a bit of water was stuck in a place where all sides went up, in a bowl of sorts, and it cannot leave until the wind blows and moves the leaf.  \n\n\nBefore I show you more on how this plant is doing today, let's take a look at the day it almost died.  \n\n### Back in Time\n\nIt was about three months ago that I noticed the leaves being eaten from the bottom up on my Purple Cabbage plants.   I tried fencing, lids, or putting them up high.  Still, the leaves where decreasing in number.  \n\n<center>\n![nov25cabbage2.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmap4z1xutZh5Pqn4EVK6z5itqVcjibUPQuhcYEXyJ5tyr/nov25cabbage2.png)\n![nov25cabbage1.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmRSsyv5Ew7cZtJcPttZzzMZ9wdoXCRfGzHuer6ZqdqKJK/nov25cabbage1.png)\n</center>\n\nAs you see in these photos from [this post](https://hive.blog/hive-167922/@greenthings/i-smell-a-rat-intervention-elevate-and-lubricate-5eb) last November, I had a problem!  I tried one of these leaves and they are delicious until you get to the thick part that joins the main stem.   Of the two healthy cabbage plants, only the one above survived.  \n\nI know that I have geckos and salamanders in my garden.  I have seen them.  There are plenty of birds that visit daily too.  I am not sure if those are what is eating these plants.  Could be.  This plant was not the only one that was being ravaged either.  In a desperate move, I took this plant to the back patio  to die.   I still watered it but did not give it much thought.   The back patio gets almost no sun. \n\nI kept putting more dirt up around its bare stem and did see some recovery.   I never expected it to produce fruit though.  I am still not sure if it will, because this is my first ever  cabbage plant.  The cover photo above shows a possible head of cabbage growing on the left side.  I am starting to see hope for this one.\n\nHere is a peek at the cavernous tunnels between the leaves.  \n\n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmak3iU2AWEByszXr5qouaP7yX65GGSmjkMSGPiTifredP/image.png)\n</center>\n  \nWhatever was eating all the leaves has stopped doing it.  Maybe the animal does not have access to the back patio - that is a sign that the damage was not perpetrated by birds.\n\nHere is what it looks like today, that is to say, for our update post.  \n\n\n<center>\n![fullcabbage.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmck2eA1mqH7UJ37Uv2c9DSM4JVXEect1ya5jaq8tZrYMR/fullcabbage.png)\n</center>\n\nThis one is looking so good that even I had to check again to see if it is the same plant! \n e\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmfBkEx3PFeyZGkzoheLszkr4Aqqb8mW3yX388jK5onGDf/image.png)\n</center>\n\nA quick peek under the bottom leaves reveals every single scar from the stolen leaves of ninety days ago.  \n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQma4Ss3am7hYwj6ppSXz1DWrJGnjBns6seEa225uSWNYJz/image.png)\n</center>\n\nThis is an amazingly beautiful plant and a delicious salad addition. and I am so happy to have it thriving in the smaller of the two garden areas.  \n\nI mentioned that the cabbage was not the only victim of the mysterious animal.   Here are some pots that used to be filled with carnivorous plants.\n\n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmfNhi2n3Ef3mezVQQEcAgQ3FDScTrraQerD9ZzLTqLVpF/image.png)\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmTHMcsyUWx1tsbqF9kTzWJLgstz1L5eh3SjWFVRHXucUh/image.png)\nThis is a close up of where something was burrowing just last night.\n</center>\n\nI am hoping that whatever it is, it learns that there is not food here for it.\n\n#### Venus Propagation\n#\nI know it has only been a couple of days since we discovered this microscopic venus plant, but it is growing and proving that it ***is*** a venus fly trap!\n\n\n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQma8a2K3YiitGovFu6EWWkmFzQnnECNJaJS2dioDcpzRBc/image.png)\n</center>\n\nThe larger of the two leaves on the right, is getting old and ragged. There is something just out of focus closer to the camera - we will get to that in a bit.  The leaf on the left has a clear trap forming and growing - that was our 'uncertain' leaf from last post.    Then we have something small coming up from the middle.  Let me get a little closer...\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmVwscoABRkuU8TqUnRAXNp1wQY8ALXsU7j4e9m1vMjSfV/image.png)\n</center>\n\nYes, that looks like another trap forming.    Soon we will need to give this one a pot of its own!  This is my first ever Venus  reproduction by seed or propagation.  \n\nNow, getting back to that blurry shadow from two photos above.  \n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmRPeqkZKrpmRbATG8jKPG4Dpr82BbHufDs8xU3qjm7zSZ/image.png)\n</center>\n\nNow that I pulled back the focus, I see that this is a baby Binata Multifida, though I do not remember propagating that plant.   Yet here it is only an inch from a brand new Venus Fly Trap.   \n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmPP57pJBkmuhXnZLG222VipC162niarwfhvEeBJj1kTSa/image.png)\n</center>\n\nThis one is just a bit smaller than the babies I had found under their parent.  \n\nThese plants are some of my best bug catchers with their forking branches and sticky tentacles\n\nHere is the big brother, full of bugs and sporting while flowers.  Yes, I am manually pollinating them. \n\n\n<div class=pull-left>\n\n\n![binbugs.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmPTVcDtSzHhKNcdA5eEZjTrk4SN3hxJsV7Wn8adaYoiH8/binbugs.png)\n\n\n</div>\n<div class=pull-right>\n\n\n![binflower.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmdcCfvCAZFQ3K9J5wkpExzKBxovrSVSRz8PE5CK9iMPMU/binflower.png)\n\n\n</div>\n\nI want all of these babies and medium size plants in their own pots before mid-summer is done.  I am thrilled to have some of the more difficult carnivorous plants reproducing.    \n\n\n---   \n\nThanks for following and commenting on my posts.  Your support is appreciated!",

      "body": "The Sarracenia is doing quite well, each one about seven to eight inches tall. \n\nThis one looks like it has lots of bugs deep down inside its pitcher. \n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmZrC38RT7Be7PPRuF2vZziqbSX3rfbYhcg33dcvPdrdQc/image.png)\n</center>\n\nThe above is the one on the left. The one on the right, below, has a massive cockroach inside it.  \n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmVGpNEJjeaXEitAsuHdT6gv1YEV1iKfZPSGBBfFwZybyn/image.png)</center>\n\nNow we are going to look at the middle of the plant.  \n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmWLy5uxvqxPMNTkxaiCmRtsuT3pF3r2apk8EtT9RnyjZ2/image.png)\n</center>\n\n\nWe have the senior citizens toward the right, and one leaf that is kind of new on the left.  It looks like it got twisted or blown over during its formation. I am not sure if that one will ever catch insects.\n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmdJvCpuhSjnM4QeouTgyW5NjXrqbRztjiGdpfyyxcUisC/image.png)\n</center>\n\nHere is the whole plant with the larger leaves included.   \n\nThe one on the right,  has that giant cockroach inside it.   That kind of meal is what makes these take off and grow more rapidly. \n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmY4YrgR381UShmofJ7k1SJD5VkgQab2P6MR89GXB9rEs9/image.png)\n</center>\n\n\nSometimes, I take one of the senior citizens out of the group and put him aside in a  pot with the babies.  I want to see if it will start its  own family (a new plant). So far, not much luck. None that I can see anyway, but it does take months for that to happen. \n\nHere's one example of that.\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmY8jNB6XcksFzcDmray92G4EJvtKs9Tg5LdUAmrXQ5iiS/image.png)\n</center>\n\nThe stick on the right, the one that is brown on the top and a bit green on the bottom, was put there to see if it will grow its own roots and make a new pitcher plant.  Not looking hopeful yet.   The process is called *propagation* and I have tried it many times, but have only had success with Drosera plants.\n\n\n\nTo the left of this \"Grandpa\" pitcher plant, I see something green and it is not a Drosera.  It is so tiny, I can barely see it. \n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmZyQVo8gDxLnFAJYGHTFxHLXFBvfpJ3PvThBakjF6XYAn/image.png)\n</center>\n\nZooming in, I think I see the shape of a Venus leaf, to the right, and it looks like a brand new fly-trap to the left.   If this is a Venus, it will be the first Time I have propagated this species of  plant using one of its leaves in moss!  \n\nLet me try to get a closer shot of that little tiny plant, and maybe compare it to one of the Venus leaves.\n   \n<div class=pull-left>\n\n\n\n![Screenshot_2026-01-26_09-45-03.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmf3hrQcLv5wXHnxBmoGhSNWxqvAXWeqMkDsxEQMimmwKq/Screenshot_2026-01-26_09-45-03.jpg)\n\n\n</div>\n<div class=pull-right>\n\n\n\n![Screenshot_2026-01-26_09-42-31.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmYik7kf2fHehsbc859H2Bi8xDeBhpZSHDcqRSxUQkkzFi/Screenshot_2026-01-26_09-42-31.jpg)\n\n\n</div>\n\n---\nOn the left, I shot an image of a new leaf formed on one of my \nVenus Flytrap plants and it is obvious that the trap part unfolds from the leaf.   \n\nOn the right we have our new discovery which looks like a Venus plant.  Time will tell.  \n\n\nLet me put something next to the plant to show you how small this is, for scale and size. How about a standard USB connector. Everyone knows how big that is.  \n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmR5k3s8bcCjDfyXoNdrWKaDzYwfWmsR1LYm6HRytbvcoa/image.png)\n</center>\n\nThe above is this new plant next to a normal USB plug in.  \n\nIf this is a Venus Flytrap, that microscopic trap would be hunting very, very, tiny bugs. What a pleasant surprise to find this little guy!\n\n\n#### Back to our updates\n\nWe have an update on the baby Binata plants that found near the base of the parent plant.  I had re-potted them in [this post](https://hive.blog/hive-140635/@greenthings/drosera-binata-the-octagon-web-of-death-and-its-new--25t). That was three months ago.   Both babies now have their own flower stalks and I am attempting to pollinate them from one to the other and back to the first.\n\nHere is the larger of the two.  I cannot focus on the whole plant so you get a flower in focus, then he bug catching end of this weapon...\n\n\n   \n<div class=pull-left>\n\n\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmVQDfRRz2ZAAvewmJb2LJbFknGKMHv83wqoN1pxEKyYsP/image.png)\n\n\n</div>\n<div class=pull-right>\n\n\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmf5DQ7BMb4qTAFoaAK5QqCFJPzTUWstjB9XYEUz5PMsis/image.png)\n\n\n</div>\n\nYou cannot have both 'in focus' at the same time. \n\nAt the time of the last post on these guys, they were in the same pot, just separated from their parent.   Later I gave them each their own pot.  Here is the littler one.\n\n  \n<div class=pull-left>\n\n\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmTNhTqTgymx2Czp9AuGUesWc7bpFkzgvVLLpYGuMKVPMv/image.png)\n\n\n</div>\n<div class=pull-right>\n\n\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmZShUS6daKyDdddrG6V5JRBzQJYJEfsTd22HdM929A1Rp/image.png)\n\n\n</div>\n\nI am going to have to raise his salary!  Look at how many pests this one catches.  You will see both of them below.  They are still little but working hard. \n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmXUt3LkyzAYYSwXoyL8aev6L2zmp1ZPAzkZYAFRQuiRtZ/image.png)\n</center>\n\n---\n\nNext I want to update you on [the vine that was killed](https://hive.blog/hive-140635/@greenthings/new-life-for-a-purple-climber-4v5). \n\nLast time, we left off with a small vine that I had nurtured to replace the one that was killed.  \n\n<div class=pull-left>\n\nBelow, you can see my new plant reaching eight feet tall - it was chin high in [this post](https://hive.blog/hive-140635/@greenthings/new-life-for-a-purple-climber-4v5).\n\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmdyJ6Nfe2nmznhAvdY7Dfz8a2uHqd2Kf32U63KReWeNtG/image.png)\n\n\n</div>\n<div class=pull-right>\n\n\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmT5515h8iuBEXdugMyYG94s73f2QmNpqVKQFCTdBS6zyT/image.png)\n\n\n</div>\n\n\nAbove, we have another surprise of nature.  The original one that died is starting to crawl over the lattice toward my side of the wall again.\n\n  I am thrilled.   This time I will take many, many more pictures of its blooms.\n\n---\n\n#### Lastly - Mary Jane\n\nThis update is on a plant that was dead as far as I knew.  Mary came back and here are some before and after photos  - after being now. \n\n   #### The baby one\n\n<div class=pull-left>\n\n\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmWzg89Fmcb16XyUuoLFWmWzWnh9d8sqZpJkTMvoVk4sm6/image.png)\n *three months ago*\n\n</div>\n<div class=pull-right>\n\n\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmaP6vVHtut6AKHiRz1Ucw3e51zF8AhHtr95TwyxYWaNY9/image.png)\n*now*\n\n</div>\n\n Measured today at 2 feet tall (63 cm)  from the dirt to the top leaf...\n   \n---\n\n#### The larger plant\n\n<div class=pull-left>\n\n\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmYQmRiVpgjmx8zbj2njyX4McfiXXK9QtTVCGfLR6RnWpv/image.png)\n *three months ago*\n\n\n</div>\n<div class=pull-right>\n\n\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmPEHiA5ioceXntPS8KUcqJ1VQwuuHs1tqPjkorxEwtgoE/image.png)\n*now*\n\n\n</div>\n\nMeasured today at 2 ft. 8 in. (81 cm), dirt to top leaf.\n\n All in all very good shape, considering they both looked completely dead when summer started.  The larger plant still has signs of dead spots in the center.    I see no flowers or buds on them as of yet. But there are a lot of new leaves and branches sprouting.   The smell is delicious but not as *swimming* as it was when they had buds last year.\n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmWfnUeXYtJQ7M3rSJvp9VQ1QYqaXbLP4iY2ZNSDReXcxu/image.png)\n</center>\n\nIf I ever want *that* smell again. I need only open the jar on my desk that says \"BUDS\" and the aroma fills my office.    What a wonderful little tree Mary is.  \n\nThat is it for today.  May you experience progress and little wonders as I have so far in   2026!\n\n---   \n\nThanks for following and commenting on my posts.  Your support is appreciated!",

      "body": "I made a lot of posts featuring something planted upside down over the last year.  Today,  I thought I would update you on a few of those experiments.\n\nHere's one.  \nBut you say, \"This one is planted normally.\"\n\nWell...\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmPtA5JqewTs6ECYsksUy9ZgCy94VTqgJ4TjMxXUpbvG5r/image.png)\n</center>\n\nBoth of these lovely root baring plants grow in a  similar fashion,  and I can rarely the difference between the two while they're growing. This pot, has one ginger marked on the outside.   So I know the plant nearest that word is a ginger plant.\n\nThere is a mix ginger and turmeric.  It started out growing from the bottom where the leaves were first seen, and I had planned to plant something else up top. But the plant had a different idea in mind and now she grows from both ends.\n\n\n<center>\n![topandbottom.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmUKgf6bsBvD3eizV4n8CHWkFuZ2wQNA5FzmwD5McrACka/topandbottom.jpg)\n</center>\n\nLook at the size of the stalks on these things and it's only the beginning of Summerk.\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmezWR1dqnqm4apAfeEWhY2Gkv1tgcKYSZXM1Ve7tQuDz5/image.png)\n</center>\n\nHere's the planter that I had harvested last year, it was turmeric and ginger and I assume it will be bit mixed again this year.  This pot is going crazy.\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmaYdBpxG6brQf8MWqXFzkcXYgYKFVDojBYzqv6iws7qF6/image.png)\n</center>\n\n#### Peppers\n\nThe one worth mentioning is the upside down chili peppers do have trouble finding the Sun but they are growing we will have to see if peppers pop up on their stems.\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmdXoKRCUGKEuLukwmkavjwB5ToK9Fcstrc8V3K3g8axsb/image.png)\n</center>\n\nIt has very thick and dark green leaves but these plants have trouble finding the sun.  \nThey attempt to sprout and then do a U turn into the bottom of the pot.  \n\n#### Drosera \"Red\"\n\nAnother of my upside down plants to be conceptualized, and I think it was one of the first, is this red drosera.  \n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmPXYBpodYKHxtaGe5z2Tjrq4XJ8TxPBKj8daNAfWpozSY/image.png)\n</center>\n\nIt has pitcher plants growing up top which are doing well.  Those would not do well upside down.  But this Drosera has kept its flowers and has been abundantly producing leaves since I planted it about a year ago.  It eats tons of bugs, and seems to be thriving.  Look at the trains of flowers  - which will render seeds when I pick them.  \n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmYeqCDGe3GGso4rRErnBAXhV9DhRoNVmEF5kvm9A1z8bG/image.png)\n</center>\n\nFlower stalks don't always make it to the outside, I just gave this one a little help finding the place where it can go up in order to  find the bees.\n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmdnGhkD2zMTAp2jyCb3TUfU4H8xxR6SNXFgKFqqk98w4w/image.png)\n</center>\n\nI give it a little help when needed.  \n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmVPn7U9FFw5h4JgmLkV9hr38QYRLWW7MkGRMuiomX9PfQ/image.png)\n</center>\n\nIf this plant were growing up top, I would have to top up the moss, otherwise it would fall to one side or the other.   But, because this one is hanging,  I cannot add moss and it will never fall.   Since it is already hanging, I'm going to let it take its course and see what happens. Repotting it is not an option at this point. I would have to cut the pot away from it and there would be no way to get it into a new pot while also letting it keep it upside down orientation. \n\n<center></center>\n\nI'm not going to mess with it. I can't really look up what to do with an upside down planted drosera using AI or even Google because I'm not sure if anyone has  ever done this before. But it's healthy and we will see! The same goes for the ginger plant..\n\n\nThat  is it for today.  I hope you are all having a wonderful start to 2026!\n---   \n\nThanks for following and commenting on my posts.

      "body": "There was a plant already here when I moved in.  It was an invader really.  It belonged to the neighbor next door, so the roots were taking up water from over there.  The wall between us is 8 feet high and the lattice that this vine grew on is another three feet on top of that.  This was a creeper, like grape vines.  It filled the lattice and produced the most beautiful purple flowers, three to five inches around. \n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmQ1V3ZphgjTiByw3eFvn1c8RmapC9MundYjLiH17xZ3Gy/image.png)\n</center>\n\n\n It crawled all the way across the length of my patio, on a lattice or plastic. I didn't know about the lattice until **the neighbor killed it**.\n\n<center>\n![lattice2rotate.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmcHeTHTefQ48cRJoAZhwoi4wh6kvX7GNcyParK8HesWgB/lattice2rotate.png)\n</center>\n\nIt was their plant, after all.  I had just been enjoying it for almost a year.  I will tell you more about how it happened and the rescue below.   The blooms used to be so gorgeous, my favorite flower which is large and varying shades of  purple. I will see if I can dig up some photos of those times. (nothng with the lattice full of vines and the quantity of flowers she produced)\n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmTQs4Bv4fNDsW9Na7cA5kzhvRGmQAd9o1DEZxAz4efeHN/image.png)\n</center>\n\nI couldn't find very many pictures of it. I've only been here a year and I thought I took more pictures than this. Here's the door and of the lattice, then it crept under the upstairs neighbor's balcony. \n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmZYjQoFD5rNK5X2LGzn631FC9ZKmdspSDkdtCmX9yNA86/image.png)\n</center>\n\nAnd kept going, completely covering the first bedroom's window like an outdoor curtain. So far, I have only covered plants that I had planted and this post will cover one as well.  This same one. \n\nIt also had grown half way across the back wall where there was nothing for it to grab onto, it remained on the floor almost to the hammock, about 25 feet.    Let me tell you how it happened.\n\nOne day, I noticed that suddenly the flowers were wilting and all the leaves were drooping. I did not know what was happening until it started turning brown. The vines that was halfway across my patio were still very green and I decided to pull one leaf from it and put its stem into a pot, hoping to save its life. \n\n\nI went from having a full invasion, a welcome invasion, of the most beautiful flowers for taking up half of my patio, double what you have seen on the lattice there.\n\nThat was almost a year ago and I had almost forgotten about the leaf I had planted into the soil on this side of the fence. \n\nI'm assuming that the owner of the apartment next door, which is in another building, wanted to sell the property and was trying to clean up the vegetation a little bit so that they could take their plants. I don't know those people and I didn't know the building manager either. But that is my assumption.\n\nWhoever moved in next door, over the lattice, has not bothered to clean up the dead remnants of what was once beautiful. I have not either. As a matter of fact, the bricks you see are the top of the chimney for the barbecue grill that was here when I got here.\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmbtGVPxhXsNs9YYu6UCrKTxaZ7nMLCZDvohir6k6uUKsp/image.png)\n</center>\n\nThe other night, we were cooking and suddenly all of it caught fire. I grabbed the hose and sprayed it all until it was out. But with any luck, The roots part of these vines will be in my pot and heading toward the lattice to fill it once more.\n\n\n<center></center>\n\nAbout a month ago, I was seeing something climbing toward the air conditioner outside the  first bedroom window. I looked and I thought I saw familiar leaves. A little bit like marijuana leaves but smaller without the pointy ridges around the edges. I was letting things grow out a little bit. \n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmctnJWEDXx4DdNTviUJCiCEm9Kp3YMikGXsR7yQfj5Uui/image.png)\n</center>\n\n\nSummer is starting and I want to weed and plant. I was cutting everything out of these pots. I remembered that leaf I had planted and was careful to look for signs of life in that area.  That leaf had continued the struggle that all nature needs to do.  Here is what that plant looks like today. No flowers yet...\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmbu3hunZbHMheLHPzHyc9ppAYFNh6vswHBuCXtSofdimt/image.png)\n</center>\n\n It is only chest high, but it is going up the same cabling for the internet that it had been climbing on before. It is strong enough that I believe I can swipe a young vine and pull the same trick - stick in in the ground.  This one will do...\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmb4645nGV2vofyT5LNCZxC39jG2jerDmoE4zvV1ZUm9qB/image.png)\n</center>\n\nMy job now is to guide it back to where it was so I can have 30 to fifty daily blooms like before.   I am sending it up towards the upstairs balcony floor, and over to the lattice it once occupied.   I am also sending it the other direction, though I will need something on the two empty walls for it to climb on. \n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmNdd7GRuyxB3Qp3Ju7RG39sC3L6XdxKDWXRAG53atTDYY/image.png)\n</center>\n\n\n At the rate that is growing, I believe within a few months I will have an update with some of those nice purple flowers! I am still looking for a photo of what it used to look like and I will put it on the update if I find it.  \n\n\n\n\n<center></center>\n\n\n   \n<div class=pull-left>\n\n\n\n</div>\n<div class=pull-right>\n\n\n\n</div>\n\n---   \n\nThanks for following and commenting on my posts.

      "body": "Fixed that - Quick update on the 3D printed, luxury, high-rise condo-complex, for my carnivorous plants.\n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmYkz6V1z6BdPR4UuNJsjf47Ri24n1KUsR55WTrrVRKuc1/image.png)\n</center>\n\n\nThe first topic is that it takes hours to print each one of these funny looking odd shaped pots that stack like a glove. The reason my last post did not look complete, and did not look like a condominium complex, is the fact that 3D printing is very slow and cumbersome. I'm glad my roomie knows how to do it, and all I do is repeat the steps that he prescribes.\n\n\n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmbBuKXwGcZBqX36Nk8XyZTGP51BBdiyXNXK8HH9SNRoc9/image.png)\n</center>\n\n\nHere's one of the babies that we repotted a few months ago and it wants to grow up into the next two. His neighbor, two floors downstairs, is a Drosera Spatulata  that seems to be thriving in this new environment and it's sprouting its first flower stalk.\n\n\n\n\n   \n<div class=pull-left>\n\n\n\n\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmRfnRg71BUsqqagABfmDTkAAAPBCzFUSGuetT2Ds4co81/image.png)\n\n\n\n\n</div>\n<div class=pull-right>\n\n\n\n\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmW6he4ZeCuPiSDGTkuWiTXki4Xu9rPKWRFxqw6eqiHWin/image.png)\n\n\n\n\n</div>\n\n\nHere's what one of those tiny flowers looks like the on the sunny side of the condominium complex. This stalk has one more flower in reserve which will Bloom tomorrow.\n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmT5Q3Q5LQakZphmcETVygXad5aYdX1LMz8FRHSt9jfKyA/image.png)\n</center>\n\n\nAnd the mother of that little flower knows that she will be out of flowers, so she is sprouting another chain of flowers in order to continue her propagation in the world.\n\n\n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmYjzAbSTvw7iEgLTr5yc8e8QupnjVYdzUFAgL5DkR1aqd/image.png)\n</center>\n\n\nI will be adding more carnivorous plants to these empty pots that have been stacked on top of what was there on my first post. When I get to the height that I desire, there's another kind of pot that is printed, it's called a header and it finishes the stack.  You can still add more but there are a couple of things that restrict how many are allowed. I will get to those in a minute.\n\n\n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmf3AMRx4ScpW93H2NyhK41dREaPsqPxNVEBsH75Ne9ybC/image.png)\n</center>\n\n\nHere's what the header looks like when it's in place.  This will be the top floor of our building.\n\n\nWhen I wrote [my last post about this](https://hive.blog/hive-130560/@greenthings/diy-plant-tower-a-highrise-condo-for-your-plants--exb) new fangled way of getting lots of plants into a small space, I mentioned that I could get 39 of these curvy pots all stacked, but that will not be the case.  The length of the rod they are huddled around limits the height, but I found out that there is another consideration - weight!\n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmTZ5NnePwuW1AFJKUGLKyNU9cjF2ciL8nUB2bUKRUodzD/image.png)\n</center>\n\n\nThe entire condominium complex, original, was hanging from that yellow zip-tie wrapped around a tree branch. The tree is also a potted plant, so you have to be careful what we dangle from it and how far from the trunk it is.\n\n\nYou can see the zip-tie above and to the right, and my upgrade - the chain (lower left)  in the photo below.\n\n\n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQma9gw6U6MbS295QctdZ3DrvzBbd8weN61TDyuJbySLVqA/image.png)\n</center>\n\n\nIn my case, the weight of the entire complex is ***the*** determining factor as to how high it can be built. When I reached four stories, I had to upgrade the zip ties to a chain, and move it all to a thicker part of the branch because the tree was bowing.  I noticed that it was pulling hard on the branch when I had to duck to get under the branch while walking past.  Trees do not usually get shorter than they were yesterday. \n\n\n\n\n<center>![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmXQzwfMVJUBmdRk5h5CSvioNSWokGd9NAWttc1LcxW8wq/image.png)</center>\n\n\nI lifted the condo assembly and found the problem before something toppled over. I did not think it should be that heavy, but it was. Moss is heavy when saturated with water.  Glad I caught it and made the changes that were necessary.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<center>\n![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmbXkipEvx72kvg7zbSFckrc2pXDiLjbe6oMeuhrnomNTw/image.png)\n</center>\n\n\nAnyway I think that's it for today. I will post one more update when I reach the maximum limits of the tree that is holding it all up.  I will then have the upper-most planters full and the header pots, topping the project off. The above shot is looking upward toward the space saving invention. \n\n\nI hope you all had a wonderful holiday - we had ours last night and today is *plant day* for me.\n\n\n---   \n\n\nThanks for following and commenting on my posts.  Your support is appreciated!",
