Next up is my onion. The tallest spike is yellowing out and nearly scorching, but I've severely underfed it. Come on, it's an onion. Inside! Cut me a little slack!
In case the label in the previous picture wasn't obvious, here's the China Doll again. This time, with the whole plant. Like mini-roses, it seems mass-produce greenhouse put several plants in a single cup with holes in the bottom. The "smaller" sections are actually a bit larger than what the entire plant system used to be. Yep. Four months and it's nearly tripled.
Banana on the left. Croton on the right. The banana was an impulse purchase at a local Publix. It looked so sad :-( Well, now it's doubled in size. The croton is quite new. And it seemed to come with spider mites as an added bonus. And a weird "wrap" bag for its root system. Weird meaning "why is the soil wet after a week of not watering it?".
This fittonia was my first plant for my living situation. As you can see, it's bizarrely leggy. It's probably too bright for it. Meh. Just gotta make sure the humidity doesn't drop too low. And it doesn't mind my intermittent watering!
This incredibly non-descript plant has been identified as possibly been a murraya paniculata - curry leaf plant. Gonna be a while before I see blooms, but it seems happy enough. Except for watering when the soil is dry, I leave it alone.
This greeted me when opening up the second of the two grapefruits from Walmart. You're looking at four sprouting events and one ready seed. From left to right - seed, seed with tiny double-root sprouting, a small seed that sprouted, a large seed that sprouted, and a huge seed the sprouted. In fact, the rightmost one was multi-embryonic. Sadly, the "tiny twin" was faaaarrr too small to be viable and was tossed into the trash.
