Pereskia aculeata variegated

A slow grower here in northern California but supposedly a fast grower in hot tropical climate. It has some cold damage from freezing temps at night but it survived the winter. #barbados-gooseberry @cowdenkyle you gifted this to me many years ago. I miss your post and kind comments my friend.

#barbados-gooseberry or #pereskiaaculeata variegated form is looking happy after transplanted to a much bigger pot with heavy composted chiccowdenkyleen manure fertilizer. I had this plant for years given by @cowdenkyle. I had it planted on succulent soil for years but now I have it on regular soil. @cowdenkyle missing you friend. The plants you gave me are still alive.

I miss him on here too. Lovely gift.

@novicegardenlover he is a kind man

#barbados-gooseberry are getting bigger. #gooseberry

I call her Drama Queen because if I don’t water her every 5 days she shriveled up. 😂 I love her to bits though haha 💛💚💗🧡 #pereskiaaculeata #pereskiaaculeata-godseffiana #barbadosgooseberry #edible-plant #vegetableplant #cactus

@gjones yes she did she looks so pretty right now

Plant gift is the best gift. @cowdenkyle here’s the #pereskiaaculeata plant you gifted me. It is looking absolutely stunning. It propagated and repotted on the same pot to make it more bushier.

@gjones I’m in love with the #foliage too 😍 haha. According to Wikipedia the leaves and fruits are edible.
