  • It’s so interesting how different plants cause issues for different people. I really like monsteras of all kinds but can’t maintain a peace lily to save my life.

    I cut back my adansoniis regularly and usually propagate the cuttings with leaves in water and the bare sticks in perlite.
    I change the water weekly and rinse the roots whenever I do to keep them from getting slimy. Perlite I spray almost daily, or cover it to trap moisture if I’m not able to tend to it regularly. Cuttings can rot if left covered, but sometimes I get to discover a jungle in a forgotten propagation box after a few months.

    After I can see decent roots, I pot the cuttings up and keep the soil lightly damp for a week or two until they acclimate.
    I haven’t noticed much difference when propagating variegated adansonii, but some of the mints are slower to regrow.

    It took me far too long to understand the wtf-ness of this.

    In Finnish, ‘Jussi’ (the Finnish ‘J’ is similar to ‘Y’ in English) is a common men’s name. Think John or similar. It carries some connotations from classic literature to peasants, hard work, and sisu.

    And “pussi” simply means a bag, specifically a simple one usually made out of paper or plastic.

    The branding is supposed to invoke an idea of breakfast buns that are traditional, simple, and full of energy to carry you through your day.
