Introducing the stunning succulent Lady Fingers, also known as Cotyledon orbiculata 'Oophylla' a rockstar of succulent subshrubs Cotyledon orbiculata! It is also known as lady's finger, pig's ear, and round-leaved navelwort. Hailing all the way from the vibrant coastal regions in South Africa, as well as southwestern Namibia.  

The lady's finger has branched stems and grey-green leaves that flaunt a white, waxy coating and a bold dark purple mark at their rounded tips; it knows how to make heads turn. This moderately fast-growing succulent 6 inches in height, spreads like wildfire into charming colonies that command attention.  

These opposite egg-shaped leaves, which can resemble the shape of a lady's fingers, earning it this popular nickname, become even more swoon-worthy when basking in full sun.  

During summer, clusters of stunning orange-red flowers on short, erect stalks appear alongside the succulent sensation's foliage, adding a burst of color that will make you breathless with delight.  

To encourage new growth, maintenance includes removing dried flowers and replanting every three years. All that needs to be done is to cut off the younger heads, remove the old growth, and replant. Like other members of the Crassulaceae family, Cotyledon orbiculata oophylla is not known to be toxic to humans and pets. 

Watering Needs 

Ladyfingers are a type of succulent that does not require much water. These cotyledons are adapted to survive in arid environments, so it's important to avoid overwatering them. Water them thoroughly, and then let the soil dry completely before watering again. During the growing season, which is generally from spring to fall, you can water them about once a week. In the winter, you can reduce watering to once every two to three weeks. 

Overwatering Cotyledon orbiculata can lead to root rot, which can be fatal to the plant. To avoid this, make sure to use well-drained soil and a pot with drainage holes to allow excess water to escape. It's also important to avoid getting water on the leaves or flowers of the lady finger succulent, as this can lead to fungal diseases. Instead, water the soil directly and allow the excess water to drain away. 

Light Requirements 

The lady's fingers require plenty of sunlight to thrive. This ladyfingers plant prefers bright, indirect light, so it's best to place them in a sunny spot or under grow lights if you're keeping them indoors. However, it's important to avoid exposing them to direct sunlight, which can cause their leaves to burn. If you notice that the leaves of your Cotyledon orbiculata oophylla ladyfingers are turning brown or yellow, it may be a sign that they're getting too much direct sunlight. 

In addition to sunlight, these cotyledon succulents also require a period of darkness each day to remain healthy. Make sure to provide them with at least 12 hours of darkness each day to allow them to rest and recover. If you're keeping them indoors, you can achieve this by placing them in a room that gets natural light during the day and turning off any artificial light sources at night.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The lady fingers plant favors very airy, sandy soil that drains well. Planting them in ordinary soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and most likely root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally use our specialized succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your succulent to thrive. 

Natural fertilizers with an equal mixture of NPK (5-10-5) also last longer and keep your soil alive by adding other beneficial compounds and microbes that encourage plant health and nutrient absorption. So, skip those harsh chemicals and give your cotyledon succulent some love with some awesome natural fertilizer! 

Hardiness Zones & More 

The ladyfingers are hardy in USDA hardiness zones 9-11. These plants are adapted to warm, arid environments and are not tolerant of frost or freezing temperatures. If you live in a colder climate, you can still grow Cotyledon oophylla as indoor plants, as long as you provide them with plenty of sunlight and well-draining soil. 

In terms of temperature and humidity, these lady-finger plants prefer warm, dry conditions. They can tolerate temperatures between 50-80°F and prefer humidity levels between 30-50%. However, they are adapted to low-humidity environments and can survive in drier conditions as well. If you're keeping them indoors, it's important to avoid placing them near air conditioning vents or drafty windows, as this can cause their leaves to dry out. 

Give this Cotyledon orbiculata oophylla - Ladyfingers succulent a try if you're looking for an easy plant to care for!

Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Queen of Roses (Blood of a Fae #1) by Briar Boleyn Genre General Fiction ( Adult), Romance, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Dark Romance “More primordial than the stars. My name was on his lips as he promised unspeakable darkness to any who came between us.” Right from the start, I was drawn in by the prologue!!! I’m a big fan of “touch her, and you die” vibes, but I mean, what’s also not to love about a unique Arthurian retelling with gender twists, a treacherous royal court, a dangerous quest, magical Fae & mystical monsters, entwined with a bit of spice! Morgan, Princess of Pendrath and true heir to the throne has spent most of her life dimming her light to feel safe and to make others comfortable. She is treated as an outcast in the court and repressed by her family due to the blood of the Fae within her and forced to join the Temple of the Three as a priestess in training to one day replace Merlin. Her brother, King Arthur, who reminds me of Joffrey from Game of Thrones, later tells her that he has other plans and offers her a choice of the Temple or to marry her off for political gain, unless… that is, she can journey through the great unknown and return with a long-lost fae weapon with enchanted powers known as Excalibur. Her quest begins with a roguish crew that includes the mysterious, arrogant, and heart-tuggingly handsome Captain of the Royal Guard, Kairos Draven, whom she can’t decide if she wants to stab or indulge in pleasure with. Along the way are plenty of surprises, mystical creatures, and betrayal, all while Morgan uncovers more of the truth about herself and who she can trust. This book had intriguing storylines and lovable characters that kept me turning pages and wanting more. I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds and comes together in book 2, Court of Claws, which I just started reading!! Read if you’re into- Dark Fantasy/Romance Slow–Burn Question Everything Magic and Action Fae Arthurian Legend Stabby/Broken FFC Morally Gray MMC Forced Proximity Queen of Roses is perfect for Holly Black, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Sarah J. Maas fans. Please check the trigger warnings page in the table of contents before reading this book.

3.5 stars, A little boring to say the least.
Format: Kindle
Wow so I'm not sure where to begin on this one. This was a very different take on the legend of Arthur and Excalibur. This is told from the point of view of Morgan the sister of Arthur. Honestly the first 50% of this book is world building and character building which unfortunately was super boring for me. Morgan to me was a female MC that had a hard time in believing in herself. Sometimes taking too long to understand exactly what was going on around her. Draven was also a different male MC, like I couldn't put my finger on him and what he was all about. It was not until the last 10% of the book did we get some answers on the mystery that is Draven. The other 50% of the book centered around this big journey with everyone having a different motive. We see a spark of magic around this time that had me excited but then we never expanded upon that and what it could mean for the female MC. I feel like I want to read the second book just to see where this goes, but the spice was probably a 2 out of 5. Side characters are ok, Lancelet was fun but I almost felt like I wanted more.

A bewitching retelling of Arthurian legend!
Format: Kindle
In a land where the Fae have nearly become only a legend and those who still posses even a morsel of the blood are few and far between, Morgan finds herself cast aside by most of society due to her rumored half-Fae lineage, including her brother, King Arthur. With the kingdom at the brink of war, Arthur entrusts her with a quest to retrieve a Fae weapon of legendary power: the sword of Perun, Excalibur. Accompanied by men she loathes, Captain Kairos Draven and Ragnar Whitehorn, she embarks on her long and unbeknownst perilous journey, only to find that things she once believed to be myth are in fact very real. With devastating twists, omitted truths, witty banter and fierce action, Queen of Roses leaves you begging to know more about the secrets of Aercanum! Wow, wow, wow! Going into this story, I did not realize that it was going to be a retelling of Arthurian legend, especially not one with a fantastical twist! The unique spin almost gave me The Witcher vibes and I think adding Fae into the mix was quite interesting. I knew the basics of the legend but after reading this book, it has piqued my interest and makes me want to learn more about it. My attention was snatched as soon as I finished the prologue and I knew that I was going to devour this story. I truly enjoyed the gender swaps and even how Arthur was portrayed as villainous. Morgan’s past and even her parts of her present is absolutely heartbreaking, and I felt for her at times. I can only recall one other book that made me hate characters the way I despised Florian and Arthur, leaving me with my blood boiling and feeling disgusted. Even after finishing the book, Draven is still a mystery to me and I cannot figure out how to feel about him. I guess they just means that the author did an excellent job at conveying each character’s persona! The rich world building and imagery made it easy for me to visualize the places that the group visited along their journey. I am truly engulfed in this story and I cannot wait to see wait fate awaits Morgan and how the Fae will be even more incorporated in the next book!. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Enchanting
Format: Kindle
"Queen of Roses" by Briar Boleyn is a delightful and refreshing reimagining of the classic tale of King Arthur, with a captivating twist that places the spotlight on Morgan, a character who has often been overshadowed in traditional retellings. Boleyn's creative decision to shift the narrative perspective to Morgan breathes new life into the story, offering readers an intriguing and compelling look at the Arthurian world from an entirely different angle. One of the most commendable aspects of this book is its incorporation of Fae elements, which adds an enchanting layer of magic and mystery to the already familiar Arthurian setting. Boleyn skillfully weaves the world of the Fae into the narrative, creating a captivating backdrop against which the events of the story unfold. This addition not only adds depth to the world-building but also provides ample opportunities for twists and turns that keep readers thoroughly engrossed. However, while the book boasts numerous strengths, it does have one noticeable flaw: the characterization of Morgan. While it is reasonable to create a flawed and complex protagonist, it appears that at times, Morgan's character becomes overly difficult and hard to relate to. Her persistently negative perception of one of the main male characters, who is a potential love interest, despite his efforts to support and assist her, may come across as somewhat irrational and could test the patience of some readers. Striking a balance between a strong, independent character and one who can recognize genuine support and affection could have enhanced the overall reader experience. Nonetheless, the allure of "Queen of Roses" lies in its innovative approach to the Arthurian legend and its skillful blending of fantasy elements into a familiar narrative. Boleyn's evocative prose draws readers into a world where magic, destiny, and fate entwine, leaving us eager to uncover the mysteries that unfold within the pages. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
