Mary’s Twinny Snaps GAL 8-1-18

I cut out the worst part of the plant (which is the part that had the bloom) because it continued to decline, and hopefully what remains of that pod will recover.  The rest seem to be doing fine. So far.

Thanks, Corinne.  Aside from the white, I had no idea what would come up. The red and pale pink on the left are from the Mix packet. Behind that, which is too small to see and has not yet bloomed, is from the Rose packet.  That one was also afflicted with the wilt (inexplicably given it’s location catty corner from the most algae).  It seems to have recovered though, thankfully. I’m excited to see who everyone becomes. 

Not really much change, except the pretty pink buds opened more to reveal their true colors. I love that.  And I switched some pods, most noticeably the white pod.

I ended up tossing the damaged pod. It just was too weak to recover, and I didn’t want to run the risk of any leftover pathogens re-infecting the water.  In its place I temporarily parked a cilantro pod that, wait for it, actually germinated.

Interestingly, and somewhat sadly, my snaps have not developed that hallmark vertical extension of buds that you guys have.  Perhaps that strange algae bloom stunted them a bit.

But, happily I do have teeny buds on new stems that will make their way eventually. It will be interesting to see if those become stunted too.  They’re pretty, nonetheless, and I’m happy.

Oh I see a lot of change! The pinks are so different and the reds are vibrant  Very pretty!

They look very nice.

I finally have the vertical ascending buds you guys have!  I’d say these are finally recovering.

nice!!!!  I love your colors you chose.

Two days ago I did a major cleaning and R n R, and I also rearranged the pods. The major cleaning (hot soap scrub of the unit as well as in between decks) was because I saw algae encroahing again.  In pod holes especially.  Though you can’t see it in the pic, there are vertical buds on the right that are toppled over from the stress (maybe from separating and tearing of the roots?).  They will recover I’m sure in the cleaner environment. 

They look very pretty and happy!
