Donkey Kong Jr And Galaga 3D Perler Beads

I was looking at some of my old designs and I really miss making these. I decided to make some 3D designs or Donkey Kong Jr. and Galaga, the player two model which I've never done.

Snake Plant Cuttings


I finally worked up the nerve to get some snake plant cuttings the other day. I have had this snake plant for a couple of years and when I first got it thought I was being cute and put it in a triangle basket on my wall. I wondered why after so long there was no change in it. Eventually I took it out and saw it was crammed. The roots were a mess. I know they like to have some cramming going on but it was bad. I took it out and potted it properly and the thing went out of control growing.


I took two cuttings from it and there are about eight left in there that I'm gonna leave alone unless one of my friends as for it. I have three other pots with thicker snake plants of the same type but want to eventually get those ones that are darker and get all tall.

New Ficus Elastica Ruby Plant

I got this new ficus elastica ruby plant at Trader Joe's a couple days ago. I did not plan on getting another plant but saw it and wanted it. It was just over five bucks. It did not have its name on it so Sarah suggested a plant group and was able to find its name. I added some perlite and mosquito bits because I saw it had some friends inside. Seems like it should be easy to take care of. I just gotta find out where to put the thing. I have over 80 plants!

New Birthday Plant

A few days ago my best friend got me a Dracaena Angolensis plant also known as an African Spear plant. I have seen these before and love the way they look but never thought to get one for myself. From what I've read they are not difficult to take care of and even grow a crazy ass flower. I have already watered it once and put it in a draining pot. It is nuts how when you get plants as gifts the pots do not drain. That is something I learned years ago after thinking plants just kinda die because they are in pots.

New Plant And Gnat Killing



A few weeks ago I got some dirt for my plants and being a lazy ass did not bake my dirt. Yes, I bake dirt. Half an hour, let it cool, and use it. It kills whatever may be living in it. I also add some cinnamon. Anyhoot, I didn't bake it and a few days later started being assaulted by gnats. For weeks I have put off buying mosquito bits even when I had the chance to. Well today I bought some and repotted some plants as well as bought a new one because it was cute.

This is an Njoy pothos (Epipremnum aureum). I saw it at Anawalt and had to get it. I have not had this type of pathos/pothos and like these kinda of plants because they grow. I know it sounds weird but I like plants that change and don't grow slowly even though I do have a few of those.
