# This is the penultimate mention of the plants I stumbled upon over…

This is the penultimate mention of the plants I stumbled upon over the weekend, but I’m still a little wide-eyed.

Astrophytum grown from seed, in a window, in Northern Utah. Respect. I repeated “wait, you grew these?” a few times until giving a “we’re not worthy” gesture. I did hold back from asking to be adopted.

This plant is straight-up sci-fi.

Note my coffee mug. These plants are huge.

That’s incredible!! 💚💚 So what’s their secret? I could use me some of that for my green babies!

South window, watered once per month, and water with a syringe to keep the tops attractive. And maybe magic. I didn’t pry too much because I was already at the point of mania lol.

😂 Thanks for the info! My windows are all south facing, so I’ll definitely try this when I plant my cactus seeds this fall. Fingers crossed! 💚
