Shaula Evans<p>My iceplant / Mesembryanthemum Crystallinum has been in its own Kratky pot full of saline for 24 hours now.

Shaula Evans<p>I did it!

I am now growing, or attempting to grow, a plant in salt water.</p><p>I even managed to find yet another sock with a hole in the toe that I saved in the confidence I would find a use for it.</p><p>This is pinnacle mad scientist.
