@MICHI-CAN check out these air plants

As for fish remnants in sand or soil that is interesting..

While back I visited a place called The Salton Sea - I thought it was sand where the water met the surface but it was all bone. Cactus growing in the most random places. Middle of broken buildings and stuff it was unique. I went to "Salvation Mountain". If u haven't heard of that here's a brief:

Salvation Mountain is a hillside visionary environment created by local resident Leonard Knight (1931–2014) in the California Desert area of Imperial County, north of Calipatria, northeast of Niland, near the Slab City squatter/art commune,[1] and several miles from the Salton Sea.

The artwork is made of adobe bricks, discarded tires and windows, automobile parts and thousands of gallons of paint. It encompasses numerous murals and areas painted with Christian sayings and Bible verses, though its philosophy was built around the Sinner's Prayer.

My other grandparents took me there when 12. The rich ones. LOL. Showed me what happens when you exploit nature without preserving it. Still have vivid memories. And the cacti now that you mention it.

"Listen to your elders".

Since we were about cacti yesterday;

From Wiki: Myrtillocactus geometrizans (bilberry cactus, whortleberry cactus or blue candle) is a species of cactus in the genus Myrtillocactus, native to central and northern Mexico.

In the mornings if there is dew the needles catch water and form droplets that reflect the sun in some crazy ways; Like little trichomes. Trippy things. I misted this one to catch the effect but it lacks that punch :eyesmoke: :peace:

Soon as i seen the geode with all my other junk , i said to myself , that will grow something! So i put a piece of cuban oregeno in there and its doing great. i would imagine it will run out of food in the soil in about a month or less. (i tried to dig the hole out bigger but it only ended up holding about 1/4 cup of soil, tops)

If it was me I would buy it!!. I completely forgot about these gems I am thankful u have found 1 and shared. Amazing looking funky things. And the name is also very badass lol.

I just did a quick look and fairly large one (looks about 4 foot) is $1,200 and that is shipped! From Florida! A 4.5" one (standard small pot probably a cutting) $245 !! Holy woah

Sea grow general purpose water soluble at about 200 PPM to start should avoid the slow death or shock of repot. Will stain things. Have a drip tray and spritz visible over flow off with water. Fun keeping pretties pretty. But I love it. Gotta be impressively simple.
