Check it out I think you will find them are Thanksgiving Cactus. I always think on watering them being a Succulent same way with Snake Plants.

Yea I looked into to find out what kind Easter, Christmas,or Thanksgiving have to look at style of leaves,I forget but mine every year exactly same month start blooming in December and maybe because in sunlight but i get blooms February, March and April also. Yes also definitely don't like overwater but can tell when they are wrinkles so I found a little once a week.

Had a break in the rain. Not enough time to get steps in, if I go to work (thinking about calling out today) but enough time to tiptoe amongst my tomatoes and peppers.

My modest houseplants, ta-daa:
Begonia x ricinifolia (white inflorescence, very rare)
apostle's sword, getting old. Bloomed once.
Monstera Adansonii baby, grown from a really small stem cutting
Christmas cactus
Angel wing begonia blocking curious neighbours, closed venetian blinds to get a photo.
Also chopped my pothos neon which was not controlled for many years. It had like 5m long stems. Lots of clones to put in a big pot, gonna make it magnificent!

Do you do anything special for your begonias, like misting them? I’d like to get one of the neat Rex hybrids, but I hear that they can be finicky.

Rarely, but when I do it's kelp extract spray. Quite free grow allowed. I give them mostly diluted lefover nutrients and rarely do anything to the soil. They seem to come along well though I'm putting more effort in the future. This flat has windows only to the sunset which is a real bummer..
I cloned the ricinifolia some 6 months ago and its turning really pretty in it's 3L underwatering pot. Still missing some of that delicious red. Soon, soon...

Great job,is that Basil in shade most of the day. Ours isn't growing like that!

thanks! it gets full sun most of the day (in shade until around 10am then full direct sun) but the leaves start to wilt after awhile in constant sun, especially on 80+ days..I usually move it to shade when that happens and the leaves perk back up in like 20 min.
