Went out of town for 3 weeks and got someone to look after my plants. After coming back, about 20% of my collection is dead, and the rest is SO FRIGGIN DESSICATED that I am forced to repot every single plant I have. I'm talking total dryout, to where the peat is like sand again and can't get wet without being stirred.
confirmed casualties: gracilis black x mirabilis winged, gracilis black, a mystery seedling, some of my weaker seedlings...which would've happened anyway
about a 10% chance of making it: viking (really mad about this), effulgent koto, emotional koto, a few others
slightly effected: eymae x stenophylla x lowii, "tomoriana" clone 2, insignis seedlings, my "mutant" splendiana x rokko seedling that is growing like gangbusters, bical (surprise!), thorelii giant tiger
not at all effected: truncatas, sanguinea orange
UGH! I'm prettttttttttttttttttttty mad.
In other news, I got my enclosure more or less finished. Pics tomorrow once I get the shelf fit in and the rest of the stuff in place. I'm going to have to photoshop out the plants though, because they all look like complete crapola (unfortunately, I'm not exaggerating)
The good thing is though, my more rare/expensiveish stuff is ok and will def pull through. Dyeriana, boschiana, northiana, and clipeata
