  • I believe the color change is due to farina. It’s a powdery, waxy substance that coats the leaves of succulents:

    Farina is responsible for the soft, pastel colors that many succulents are known for.


    It serves to protect the plant against external agents like the sun, and it’s good indicator of the plant’s health.

    In the linked article, they actually mention that once farina is removed, it’s unlikely to grow back. So I’m glad my plant did eventually get it back! Although I’ll admit the green color in the second picture was really pretty too.







  • Here lunch is our biggest meal of the day and usually around 2 or 3 pm. Most people will have lunch at home, even if they have to go back to work later and many eat a small meal between “breakfast” and lunch. But most people either won’t eat anything for what you’d call breakfast or just have some coffee and toast/pastries. I really don’t know anybody who wakes up and immediately starts cooking.


  • I’m southern european and some of these answers are giving me culture shock… Normally, a coffee would get me through the day until lunch and, if I’m especially hungry, I’ll eat some pastries too. But the thought of having to eat plenty of eggs or anything that involves cooking so soon after waking up is giving me upset stomach. I realize this may not be healthiest option tho
