Besides having to care for Emma (wisdom teeth removed on Friday), I spent my weekend reconnecting with my indoor plants. Although I've come a long way over the last few years, my green thumb had definitely become very mediocre. As with anything....you can't complain that you aren't making progress if you aren't actually doing anything of substance (and no...I'm not just speaking of plants). So I finally pulled the trigger on many things that I wanted to start trying.
The majority of my plants have now been transferred to clear nursery pots with a more suitable soil mix. This should help me dramatically with determining watering needs as well as root and general overall plant health. I have so many different plants with varying needs that I was mostly just guessing with who needed what at any given time. Once transferred, I just plopped them back into my pretty pots so they still look fabulous.
Many plants have also now been relocated to other areas of my house where I have upgraded some of my spaces to now include grow lights. Until now I always had everything crowded at my windows. And I kinda like to look out my windows. I'm hoping this will be more beneficial for those plants that I just could never seem to find the right lighting for.
I also paid some extra care and attention in cleaning my plants. Everyone's leaves are nice and shiny now and can hopefully "breathe" a bit better.
Up next is getting a mini humidifier for my different areas and adding some grow lights to my bedroom shelving. I've never had any plants in there because the lighting is so poor. But I'd love to wake up to a little bit of nature in the morning..besides Tank breathing in my face waiting for me to wake up and feed him that is.
This was definitely a relationship that needed mending.
