Our Commerce Library has a plant swapping area.
I picked up this little guy.
A lonely little stem.
I put it in some perlite and waited forever.
After months this is what I had.
A few roots on a few leaves.
On another trip to the library
I got another lonely sibling.
Waited again and stuck it in the pot with
it's sibling who was just standing there
doing exactly nothing. Or so I thought.
More waiting.
What's going on.
Just doing nothing but not dying.
So there's that.
Then a baby popped straight up!
Then another one popped up a few days later like
they were twins or something.
They showed me.
The twins grew like crazy.
Within days I had a family.
These kids were almost as big
as the parents.
Now I have 4 stalks in the pot.Do I care that my little family
doesn't look like the big families
I saw at Carlson's Greenhouse
this weekend?
Nope.
Those rich college kids got a lot of greenhouse treatment. They'll probably go to someones house and
get into a big fancy pot.
I love my little guys.
They have high potential and they
are just graduating from kindergarten
and I get to watch them grow.
