I planted my first plant at home about a month ago January 11. I’m growing paperwhites, at first they were growing a normal pace but then one day they took off. I was coming home to an inch of new growth everyday for about 3 days. Then i went to my boyfriend for about 2 days without seeing my plant. Once i came home one of them had bloomed! I was so happy i started crying because i couldn’t believe i successfully raised my first plant and healthy too without any stumps. There was one problem though the other one that would’ve bloomed unfortunately my cat got to it before it had a chance so i had to cut it i now keep my doors shut when i leave. But i’m still exhilarated to see my beautiful flower everyday and i know the other one will grow back.🩷 ![3개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/60VLwBYTIB-fEm1eEV0CT_9twJ3z7hQKJXi6uV6YYTI/UhToCZlDRxWaZlslsiPdqQ.webp?size=large) ![3개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/60VLwBYTIB-fEm1eEV0CT_9twJ3z7hQKJXi6uV6YYTI/wY9x59_QRwGuAvbuaI-Tqw.webp?size=large) ![3개 중 3번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/60VLwBYTIB-fEm1eEV0CT_9twJ3z7hQKJXi6uV6YYTI/ov5vRapkQYyHBVS03JfYgw.webp?size=large) ## 9개의 댓글 ### Lynda님이 2025-02-19에 댓글을 남겼어요. Welcome to the wonderful world of plants, and congratulations on your new blooms; you’ve really done a great job! One thing I wanted to mention, just in case you weren’t aware, if you have a kitty, many plants can be toxic, so be careful; your kitty is going to love your plants as much as you do, and many of them aren’t good for her! #### Jeaniebean님이 2025-02-19에 답변했습니다. Yes! I’ve been keeping him out my room and keeping up to date which of my plants are toxic like my chives i’ve made sure to keep him away from those. #### Lynda님이 2025-02-19에 답변했습니다. Well done, Jeaniebean… always be observant, and you and your kitty can enjoy your plants together… (as she chews the ends off all of your favorite plants …LOL!) ### Sunny님이 2025-02-19에 댓글을 남겼어요. Congratulations! You’re a plant person!😂 Watching plants flourish under our care is addictive and gives a big feeling of accomplishment. Plants are emotional support “animals” that bring a lot of joy. Keep sharing. Ask for help when needed! ### KJM님이 2025-02-19에 댓글을 남겼어요. Now comes the fun part, figuring out what you want to try next! ### Zhoscia님이 2025-02-19에 댓글을 남겼어요. I’m pleased to be able to enjoy with you our plant 🪴 journeys. Jeaniebean how did you come up with the idea to grow your paperwhites? That’s something I would like to try but I’m a complete novice 🤪 ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/hnLG6XhGhyRNqg48mDx-bvCvw33jvVmsq3AfVeeYC40/S8RdhgWPTVyZ0LSofCRSSA.webp?size=large) #### Jeaniebean님이 2025-02-19에 답변했습니다. My neighbor gave me this box you can buy and it came with the compacted coconut coir and also a pot and the bulbs and i put it together and it’s been doing amazing very easy to take care of i’m not home very often only nights so definitely an easy plant and i love watching it grow everyday it’s beautiful. ### Buffy님이 2025-02-19에 댓글을 남겼어요.
