Oh wow, Cinta. That's gorgeous. What type of soil do you use in your pots without holes?

Cinta that is just beautiful. What is it.

It looks kind of familiar. Maybe one of the variegated gingers?

The plant is Tricolor Stromanthe.

I grow all my plants in a soil that my local nursery sells called Black Gold. I use a mixture of epsom salt, beer, molasses that I put a tablespoon of that in a gallon of water.

I am not suggesting anyone do this but it has worked for me for so many years it is just what I do. I am sure people water their plants and would have a lot of dead plants. I just do not water as I said in the winter they get a sip in the summer I just turn them and drain the water.

Here are more plants that have been in pots with no holes for years.









I put this in this pot when it was a little 1.00 plant. I finally had to break the pot to get it out.

WOW!!!!!!

i've never seen a red euphorbea lactea (that's what that is, right?). looks stunning! does it always grow like that, or some special conditions are required?

It is a .Euphorbia trigona 'Royal Red. It is always red but I grow it in full sun in the summer and it gets whatever sun it can get in the winter indoors.

I brought it at a discount store that did not even sell plants but had a few little cactus and succulents in small nursery pots for 1.00. I was looking for a pic of when I first put it in this pot. It was only a little 2" baby.

now, that's a find! i think it's a show stopper!

Yes I find more different odd plants in the least expected place than in the stores.

I could not believe my eyes last yr when I saw odd cactus in the drug store. I do not know where they would get them because it could not be a local cactus farm because it is not like we have great cactus weather.
