More shopping, cakes, fun stuff!

*ahem* I did say I'll quit shopping stuff *ahem* but LOOK AT THESE! THEY ARE SO PRETTY! I'm trying to look for information on how to care for  young pine sprouted from a pine cone, but all the information stop at "once it starts sprouting, congratulations!" So... after that it's just let it be? The shop guy said it should be kept in a humid environment, so lots of spraying at the leaves, but the online information I found says to keep them dry and water sparingly... huh. As for the succulents, I really was only looking for the Rainbow Elephant Bush (the top right one) because I saw a colleague have a big one and it was so pretty, looked almost like a tree! But I guess it wasn't the right season and I searched over 10 flower shops and couldn't find one, when finally I found a place that sold these saplings, but they were doing a buy 2 get 1 free, so I got the Common Houseleek (top left) and the Sunrise Succulent (bottom one, pinkish), that I did have before but killed it (overwatered it). Now I know. Keep it dry!
