It's been a while now, so here's the update on how the plants are doing. The aloe appears to be alright. Almost all of the leaves have started to indent now, but I'm not sure what that means. I'm watering it less than my other plants, keeping the soil dry. The raspberry is definitely not going to spring back. It's crispy, despite being kept in moist soil under a grow light. The air plant seems to be doing well. I'm not sure what to look for, but some of the greener pieces are erect and pointing toward the light - so I assume this little one is happy and healthy. I'm afraid I'm failing the prickly pear pad. At first glance it looks pretty good, but the edges are turning brown and the whole pad is sinking (like it's on a diet). Maybe the cold did it in. I don't know. Not one of the new plants, but the USDA blackberry plants are dying. The leaves are turning colors and they've stopped growing. This appears to be the same problem that happened to the borlotto (cranberry) bean plant. If anyone knows what this problem is or how to fix it - please contact me! In the meantime, the Maglia Rosa tomato seedlings are still growing beautifully despite my continued procrastination on replanting them into bigger containers. The tomato plant that I thought had died (and I cut it back to just a stem) was growing little leaves out of the branch nubs. I added some epsom salt to see what would happen. I had read somewhere that adding epsom salt would make a tomato that had foliage start to set flowers. I wondered if it would help with growth in general and sure enough, it now has a little bush of leaves sticking off the one branch nub and is starting to grow leaves at other branch nubs!
