Plant, Replant and Plant Some More...

A little while ago, I received a couple ivy house-plant cuttings from my friend, Mariana? (You can check out the previous blog for more info)

She told me that if I placed them in water, they will root and I can replant them….Which I learned is Plant Propagation, the process of artificially or naturally propagating (distributing or spreading) plants.

……………….Here are the pictures from before…………………the picture on the left shows that I placed them into water but there are not any roots.

………….the picture on the right shows them beginning to root…………………………however,

………….I waited until the roots got about 3-4 inches long before I decided to plant them in soil…….

……………………Tonight, I spent some time planting the rooted cuttings: I made a mess!!!

………….I have another Ivy house plant of mine was getting long and needed a trim. So, I got the cutters out and cut right below the joint……………..I kept and few leaves on cuttings to assure root growth. Now, I have more cuttings to rebirth…..a entire new plant to nurture.

…………….I admit, for me planting is a wonderful way to clear my mind of clutter and concentrate on the simpler, more important things in life.

Please send healthy “vibes” to this plant so that it can grow and produce more li’l plants. Oh, I’m just giddy!!!

~Cheers
