Finally got this cleaned up! I was so worried the inside wouldn't come clean but barkeeper's friend comes through for me every time lol. Bottom is unglazed, presumably to allow for some permeability. Will fit a pot 10" diameter × 10" deep.

It's beautiful but as wild is our house is with decor, it's just not it for me lol

Some personal additions to the store! Blue Myrtle Cactus (aka Blue Candle), Aloe Krokatoa, and Aloe Alligator, all just repotted! I also added string of pearls, sansevieria fernwood, pilea peperomiodes, and probably a couple others but they get lost once they hit the shelves 😂

I accidentally sunburned the Alligator the day I flooded it to bring it back inside but if you can get past the scars, she's healthy and has an 18in leaf span. Just having a hard time fitting her in lol.

Aloe Krokatoa is a blooming fool that also likes to reproduce. I kept the other mother, but this one's got babies coming in!

For a while I kept seeing sooo many people saying hoya retusa is impossible to keep alive.
Now, admittedly, I did almost lose it a couple times from not watering often enough when it was just a wee sprig last year.
But now we're here. And we have a bloom. And another one not open yet.

Issa win!

Doing some decluttering on the other side of my wall and made a batch of dirt lol
2 bags of gritty (just perlite added) and 6 bags of chunky (bark and perlite added). Base was store bought cactus mix but we all know how moist that stuff stays, so I fixed it 😅

$5 for a packed-to-the-zipper gallon bag, tax included.

Meet your winter 2026 store mascot, he's not for sale, he's just in here chillin'. I think we'll call him Pedro. (Large Marge is in the house, I'll post her soon once I'm done perfecting the back room 😂)

And because I really hate my neck and shoulders, and arms, and hands, I got the other two big girls repotted today too. They're still outside drying out a little before we try to move them in lol
