hello! im back from bannsville, and that succulent has grown, its an *epiphyte or 'air plant' which means it recieves its moisture and nutrients from the air, by utilizing its roots, which are also above ground, anyway, i got a feeling this little fella wants to flower soon, so i thought id show you its progress so far,
i will get better pics soon, its much bigger than it was when i got it :)
*'An epiphyte is any plant that grows upon or attached to another living plant. The term is from the Greek epi- (meaning 'upon') and phyton (meaning 'plant'). These plants are sometimes called "air plants" because they do not root in soil.'
The first day i got it..
