Attention Gardeners, are you looking for a plant that will make your garden stand out? Look no further than the Fenestraria rhopalophylla, also known as baby toes or baby's toe, and window plant! These little clump-forming baby toes succulents, hailing from Namibia and South Africa truly live up to their nickname. 

With their tiny, rounded leaves resembling the toes of an infant, it's hard not to fall in love with them at first sight! But wait until you get a closer look - these window-leafed succulents have transparent tips (like a window) reaching the height of 3 inches and 4 inches in diameter in their natural habitat, it almost seems like something out of a fairy tale. These tiny toes' translucent tips allow light to pass through them and reach the baby toe's underground stem, which helps them to survive in its arid desert environment. 

Let's not forget about those delicate white or yellow flowers they produce in the early spring and fall! It's no wonder why these baby succulents are often referred to as living stones - they look like tiny rock formations with rounded baby toes sticking out. Propagating baby toes succulent plants from seeds and offsets is the easiest way to enhance your succulent collection. 

These green toes are unlike anything you've seen before with their low maintenance. Imagine having this unique and eye-catching plant in your collection. Your garden will be the envy of all who see it! 

Watering Requirements 

Fenestraria can typically don’t need much water, so they are harder to kill than most houseplants; it can store water in its leaves. They still require infrequent but effective watering to maintain their cuteness and recharge their water storage.  To determine when it's time to water, check the soil in-between waterings and wait until the first inch of soil is dry to the touch before watering again.  

You should decrease the watering frequency to once a month or less in autumn.  It's recommended to give them a deep-water soak once or twice a month when the soil is dry, during the active growing period in spring and winter, and sparingly during their dormant period in summer. 

It's important to avoid over-watering baby toes or other succulents though, as it can lead to waterlogging or soggy conditions that can easily damage the plant. A baby toe succulent that has been overwatered can easily be identified by a crack or split on its leaves. Placing it somewhere dry, well-lit, and with controllable water intake can help solve this issue. 

Light Requirements 

The baby toes succulents should be planted in full sun outdoors and need a minimum of 5-6 hours of bright light daily to stay compact (usually refer to leaves that are smaller than usual, and that are closely spaced on the stem).  

If they are not receiving enough sunlight, they may produce leaves that are elongated, thin, and pale in color, rather than compact and succulent. Without enough light, the plant may become leggy and weak, and its leaves may lose their distinctive shape and texture.  

When grown indoors, place it in the sunniest place in your house. This baby succulent may benefit from shade in consistently hot climates. Growing this baby succulent in a west- or south-facing window is best. Most light will enter through a south-facing window. East and West windows are excellent, too! Northern-facing windows provide the least amount of light, so avoid them.  

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

When it comes to choosing the right soil or succulent food for your adorable baby toes plant, you need to be careful! It's like picking out the perfect outfit for a date - you want to make sure everything is just right so there are no surprises later on. 

You see, the amount of moisture in the soil can literally make or break your little green-toe friend. Too much water and BAM! You've got root and stem rot faster than you can say "Cactus." That's why we at Planet Desert have got your back with our specialized succulent potting mixGo to soil cactus mix blend 1 gal 4 qt cacti succulent dirt compost growing media, or regular potting succulent soil. This organic substrate has mycorrhizae which help to grow a healthy root system that makes all those spiky stems stand up tall and proud.  As an okay alternative, you can create your own potting mix by combining equal portions of perlite, coarse sand, and good natural potting soil. 

Natural fertilizers with a balanced ratio 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 succulent some love with some awesome organic fertilizer! 

Hardiness Zones & More 

Typically grown in hot, arid desert regions, the baby toes succulent thrives indoors in warm, dry surroundings. In general, a humidity level of 40% is sufficient to keep this plant happy and thriving.  

If you live in USDA regions 10 to 12, you can also grow these baby succulents outdoors year-round, but they are not cold- or frost-tolerant, so during cold winters, you should plant them indoors or put them in a pot and move them indoors during the winter if you live outside of these regions. Keep your baby toes away from cold, drafty windows and air vents if you are growing them indoors in a cold climate. 

Don't miss out on adding the Fenestraria rhopalophylla baby toes to your garden today! Order now and enjoy its beauty for years to come.

Abundant information but needs update
Format: Kindle
I struggled a little when try to decide how many star to give. It's an excellent book and very informative. It feels like I was not reading a college admission advisory book, which very often are dry and mechanical. It feels like reading stories of students and AOs, I got attached and involved emotionally, and really felt for them. But there were abundant information in the book, I was able to use the book to answer most my questions. If you need a list of YESs, Nos, Warnings..., then this is not the book for you. If you need to know what happens during admission process, then this is an excellent book for you. Based on the information in this book, I was able to extract my own conclusions. The reason I hesitated if I should rate this book as a five stars book is how long ago it was written. A lot has changed. Many aspects stayed same, but many aspects changed. It will be misleading if this is the only guide book you are using. Wish everyone a great college application season.

An intimidating read
Format: Paperback
This is a scary book to read if you are anyone, but most especially a Parent of a college bound junior or senior. The writer, Jacques Steinberg, a NY Times Reporter writes beautifully and captures the college application process in an authentic way, without overdramatization. His style and sensibility reminds me of Jon Kraukeur. I was prinicipally struck by the heroic Sisyphean efforts of the admissions office and the immense gap between public school and private school admissions counseling at the high school level, a gap which is even greater today. This is also a very good description of Wesleyan University -- what it is not so good at, and this is no fault of the author who tries to make this point and the related one that follows , but the best approach for the applicant is to find a college where he and she can thrive and trust the process, the admissions folks are very dedicated to bringing in students who can add value and to whom they can add value -- more to the point when a good fit is made, all the effort and anxiety is well worthwhile to the school and the applicant. good luck and best wishes to all of you who are college bound.

A must read for anyone getting ready for college!
Format: Kindle
Very eye opening! I really got a feel for what the admissions officers go through. I really had no idea, i thought it was much more impersonal. My only complaint is that I wish along with the other students in which they chose to go into depth that they would have chosen an international student. I would have liked to have known how they were evaluated as compared to the American applicants. But still this book was not only helpful but interesting as a novel with personal stories you were interested in following.

Illuminating insights on the transformative power of college
Format: Hardcover
Mindset Matters is an inspiring, timely, and useful exploration of how higher education can transform lives by fostering the key mindsets essential for success in today’s complex and fast-changing world. Drawing on his extensive experience as a leader in higher education and lifelong learning, Porterfield makes a compelling case for cultivating five critical mindsets — Discovery, Creation, Mentorship, Collaboration, and Striving — all aligned with a growth mindset. He explains how colleges can develop these mindsets to prepare students for lifelong growth. The book is grounded in real stories of students whose lives were transformed by higher education. The thoughtful narratives illustrate how institutions can create environments and systems where all students can thrive. Through this work, Porterfield offers a roadmap for helping prepare individuals to embrace growth, pursue opportunities, navigate challenges, and drive meaningful impact — throughout their lives. Whether you're an educator, a parent, or someone interested in the future of higher education, Mindset Matters will leave you inspired and equipped with new perspectives and strategies. I highly recommend it.

Disappointing
Format: Hardcover
I had high hopes. But this book seems to be more of a rosy retrospective of one college president years in charge than it is a real useful book about how to help students.
