Iāve been away since Thursday, visiting my mom, and just got back today. Iām so looking forward to getting back into the swing of plant chores tomorrow! Is that odd? Am I the only one that gets peace from plant chores? I discovered thrips right before I left and have been anxious all weekend to get home, even while enjoying the time with my mom and helping her organize her new home, and taking care of her plants for her. š thankfully my neighbor friend came to the rescue while I was gone and sprayed the infected plants with Jack Dead Bug stuff and the ones that Iād noticed them on showed no new ones, but a couple more plants have them so Iāve got a lot of work ahead of me I think. I got a handful of new plants while I was away. This pothos and spider were given to Mama, but she doesnāt have the room for them so I told her Iād be glad to hang onto them until she does. š The rest are from my favourite plant shop in Coeur dāAlene and Spokane, Fern. I canāt wait to integrate these into my collection! Especially the variegated String of Pearls. Iāve killed every other String of Pearls Iāve ever had but right now I have a String of Hearts and a String of Bananas that seem to be staying alive, maybe even thriving! So I thought Iād try again. The Pothos was over 5ā long but so leggy that I needed to cut him back. Iām propagating several vines and will be checking roots, fertilizing, and repotting soon, while also adding several of the cuttings back into the soil. I love that I know he can handle such drastic action, even this late in the season. Anyways! Thanks for reading my rave! Any advice for the African Violet, Aloe Vera and SOP are greatly appreciated.
