Planning to Plant

I have recently decided to propagate my philodendron plants. Probably because it is now growing season. I’ve been watching a ton of plant videos. I bought another tension pole plant stand. I actually bought a lot of random things. I have to sit down one day and think through all of the different things I want to do. I want to try to propagate three different ways. The office philodendron heart leaf is really long and has a very long stretch of empty vine that I want to use the container method for.

I’m actually also surprised by how well my office plants have been doing–that south-facing window I never got to enjoy has really made my succulents happy. The nice man from facilities who watered (but maybe forgot to water some time in the middle of last year…) my plants and kept them alive. I drop in every six months and am constantly surprised by how my plants look. One of my succulents flowered, which is insane. My propagations from last, last October, so October of 2019…are growing, still, which is insane.

There were some plant casualties. My syngonium arrowhead plant definitely died. (I almost forgot what was in that empty pot.) I took that to the office because it was doing so poorly i my house but then it just died. One of my propagated succulents also died.

At some point in the coming weeks, I’m going to go to tjhe office and do some intense gardening–by which I mean I’m going to up-pot my philodendron, the plant that started it all from my office mate. It has really lead me down this path of hous eplants.

Work hosted a terrarium event and my terrarium from California didn’t fit in the terrarium, the other one is dying already. I’m propagating all of the fallen leaves. I bought a million little terracotta pots so I hope this experiment works.

Anyway, now I’m rambling. This is all to say I’m going to try some plant things. Stay tuned.
