Cactus Garden - Part 2

Tiger's Jaw (Faucaria Tigrina)
They seemed to require more watering than the weekly routine. Seemed like too much watering can also cause stem & root rot. So perhaps 4-5 days light watering can bring the best for this type.

These are the most easiest of cactus. 
They had given out so many shoots over time that make-up 90% of my collection. I think once they establish in the pot - they tend to sprout out pups slightly from the trunk and eventually put out roots and fall taking out all the immediate space available within the rim of the pot.

Silver Squill.  - Ledebouria socialis

I had hard times with one.
Often end up rotting and barely surviving. Too much water kills too less water kills.
Somehow it had managed to established here with the cactus collection and doing very well after a very long period of time.

This succulent was rescued from the dump. 
The leaves didn't look like this when I picked it up.
 It was totally bare with few damaged leaves and stumps. 
It took almost a month to put up new sprouts and its totally beautiful. It has a powdery dust on the leaf surface like find gloss and its quite sensitive as they can easily snap when handled.

I have yet to identify the name of this plant yet. 
Right now there are more shoots coming out from these stem & doing very well so far.

I had placed my ginger plant here due the rat harassment that it always get its shoot bitten. For some time it got dormant and never recovered. This is a different type of a root family - I suspect it could be a similar kind of the herbal root type.

Other sharp pointy plants.
African Milk Tree
And ZZ plant - currently infested with scaly bug which I need time to administer poison over them.

A Blue Frog Figurine

I'm very sure everyone have more than one frog story. Be it similar to the Frog & the Princess or a fact that many proverbs and legends pertaining them.

My story is simple - I'm fascinated by them. I had more than once rescued all the tadpoles from a puddle and nursed them into baby frogs or toads (really never get to see them once they are out of the water) And they do more good in your garden - keeping all the mosquito at bay.

Not really sure what wrong with my camera setting- I cannot get the right blue in my picture.

The blue that appears to me is mysterious and exotic - here it appeared as a wash-down plastic blue.

Anyway, I wanted to set all the slow growing plants with an exotic look.

These are the plants in the collection:

1) Philodendron Xanadu - planted inside the blue pot

2) Silver Squill - Ledebouria socialis

3) Matchstick Bromeliad - Aechmea gamospepala (I'm guessing - it could be a neoregelia)

4) Cardboard Palm (Cycad) - Zamia Furfuracea

5) Caladium Humboldtii

6) Chinese Evergreen - Aglaonema Valentine

7) Calathea Majestica - (hidden at the back)

Looks like only the Philodendron Xanadu & Cardboard Palms putting up new leafs after planting them in this pot.

I'm glad with my collection coming together with a nice little figurine setting in place.

Right now - the frog is totally hidden - guess it sort of creates a mysterious, secret garden concept thing.

Let me know what you think about this.
