When I see something that appears dead, or nearly so, I probably should throw it out. “Don’t keep old stuff, Mom.”
But where there is potential life, there is hope, I believe.
I had a pretty little poinsettia from Christmas, but it got over or under watered (very difficult plants), and lost all its leaves. Bare stalk, throw it away. But I put it by my sink so I would see it all the time (dishwashing is never ending), kept the soil slightly moist, and was rewarded…
This is about May 24.
A couple of weeks later.
And today. This is heartwarming to me.
The original plant had white bracts. Whether it gets them again remains to be seen, if I can keep this one growing.
Congratulations! It will be a happier plant now that it’s not a pampered nursery princess.
ReplyDeleteNow if you do the same it’s that African violet (keep it moist) it will be plump and green and may even bloom for you. 😉
That is so great! :D I hope it grows well!
