I am loath to discard pieces of plants that could take root. I thought this bit of Dieffenbachia had died, but last night I found a small, pale leaf at its tip. This morning I spied a second, teeny tiny leaf on the side. Yes, itβs silly of me, but even the smallest wins count these days. May the force be with you.
Following on from yesterday, I have been attempting to sort out my Aeonium arboreum βZwartkopβ, which is an almost black Aeonium when it's happy. The original plants were gifted by a friend of a friend a number of years ago and I have been bumbling along with them ever since.
Biggest success was gifting one I had propagated to my sister last year.
So today I have trimmed two 'crowns' in the hope that the plants will branch, one of which also needed serious repotting as there was no drainage in soil. I took a cutting from a very unhappy earlier propagation attempt, and then repotted the original in the hopes that may recover slightly.
Looking forward to more consistent temperatures in the UK so I can pop them outside.
The final bud has blossomed on our moth orchid (ππ©π’ππ’π¦π―π°π±π΄πͺπ΄ sp.)! And the first flower, which bloomed two months ago, is still going strong.
Even when I canβt leave the house, I can open a window.
Fresh air is a giant mood reset button.
Iβm letting the spring breeze clear out the stagnant energy today.
