Jade. Dwarf Jade Too.

Here are some cuttings I've got from neighbor's Jade (Crassula Ovata).  Oh, I did get permission to get those.   I let cuttings dry for few days.  Today I tossed cuttings and the leaves I removed from them into small pots with the same growth media I use for all plants.  I used bamboo skewers to fix the cuttings in vertical position.  I also watered the pots.  Let's see what happens - I will give an update in a couple of months.
Dwarf Jade (Portulacaria afra) sounds even more interesting!  Faster growth while being more robust!  And a common bonsai for beginners!  I ordered myself one.
I think both should look good in the cubicle.  Can they handle low light?  I doubt it.  Before I forgot, here are few links to cubicle plants:  10 Air Purifying Plants For Homes & Offices, How to Grow Your Own Fresh Air.

Plant Stands, More Planters and Plants

Here is what happened on my southern balcony in the last couple of months...  I added three planters and put (almost) all of them on the stands!

Planters

I've got new planters!  Large IKEA HUSON planter, small IKEA HUSON planter, and a large rectangular planter.   Let's have a closer look at every planter...

Another Balcony

My north-facing balcony gets no direct sun.  So here is what I came up with...
Just a simple combination of mother-in-law's tongue (Sansevieria trifasciata) and southern maidenhair fern (Adiantum capillus-veneris).  I covered the soil with moss but it gets dry fast - this summer is really hot.  I water it periodically, about once a week - how do I make sure I do not over-water it? I do not let water stand in the saucer for more than few hours.  Oh and I have no idea whether these plants are compatible - they are sold in the same section of a big box store so I presume their light requirements are similar (low).  No idea about water requirements.  I think this is the most esthetically pleasing combination of plants I have.
