My new friend Jack

Since I haven’t killed Fred yet, I was feeling brave enough to bring home Jack. He doesn’t use soil! You just soak his head when he gets dry, apparently. Any input from those in the know would be welcome! 😄

He's an adorable airhead.

@Mamapolo2016 Not gonna lie, I panicked when I got home and realized there was no dirt in there! Frantic googling ensued.

@JustNik The world is so full of a number of things.

I know the feeling. "Whaddya mean there's no dirt? Of course there's dirt!"

JustNik · 51-55, F

@Mamapolo2016 Yes! I had no idea there was such a thing! It allows me a bit more cautious optimism than usual though as I struggled to get the dirt right with Fred the succulent. Plants labeled “easy” doesn’t often apply to me for some reason.

@JustNik There's a kabillion of them, too. (These aren't mine, just examples).

@Mamapolo2016 I proceed with caution as it breaks my heart when they die, but if Jack holds out, it would be fun to get him some friends! 😍
