Since December that we were buying the ingredients for the Christmas dinner, we found a very interesting place, it was a lady who sold plants and that is rarely seen here where I live, we found everything she was selling very nice, we always wanted to buy a cactus and other plants, We have some that have many years with us but we wanted to have more to decorate the windows of the house, although I do not know much about plants, the lady very kindly explained to us how to maintain each one of them, casually the two that we took at that time told us that they did not take too much water.
It has been more than a month since we bought them and today we have one more new plant, besides we have already transferred the December plants to new pots as the lady recommended.
The lady sold many plants and even flowers, I had never seen these flowers in person and I liked them very much, but those were a little more expensive and I could not buy them.
The first plant we bought was this cute little cactus, she told us that it has to be watered every two weeks and that we should preferably place it in the sunlight, she also recommended us to change the pot after a month and that's what we did, we moved it to a bigger pot that we had unoccupied, we keep it in the window all day except for the times it rains when I remove it from there, I think cactus are super cute and we always wanted to have one, luckily that day we got that lady and we could fulfill that dream, she had a lot of variety of cactus but I really liked this one for being round, I have tried to take care of it a lot, although I do not know if I am doing it correctly, the cactus looks a little bigger now, but it has changed its color, I have also noticed that it has more thorns, in the upper part its color changed to a reddish tone.
The second plant is called Sansevieria trifasciata is very common to see inside houses or even on the street, as the lady explained to us, this plant should also be watered every two weeks, kept in places where it does not receive too much light, practically a plant that could serve more inside the home, I keep it at the entrance of my house where I put it on a shelf on the wall, as I understood this plant has many health benefits as it purifies the air, I put it in the entrance because this way I avoid my cat to kill it inside the house hahaha, I have seen that this plant grows a lot but I guess it will take a lot of time, today I could buy a new pot and use soil that my father in law brought me from Merida (a
And today my father in law brought us this nice plant that I had no idea what it was, I did a reverse Google search and according to Google this plant is called Huernia macrocarpa in the internet pictures you can see that it blooms with a red color and according to what I read it needs sunlight indirectly between 5 to 6 hours, if it gets too much sun it can dry its leaves, it is very small and I must try to keep it as best as possible to grow quickly and change pots, I think this is going to be the most difficult to maintain because of the time it must be exposed to the sun, but it is so cute.
I have always liked plants, I feel that they give a little joy to the home, although sometimes they become a challenge and a new responsibility but I feel it is worth it, nature is just beautiful and perfect.
