Deiffenbachia is still growing!

Remember the post from earlier showing how much my deiffenbachia had grown? Well here are a couple of pictures of it today! Look at it go!

BUTT PLANTS!

For the next installment in the Snowy St. Patty's Day Post Extravaganza(tm)!, here's a few pictures of the fabled butt plants! Aren't they wierd? They are so wierd! I guess how they work is each year a single new pair of leaves (the butt) emerges from between the old pair and the old pair slowly shrivel up and die and then the cycle goes on. Hmm!

The Amazing $5 Corn Plant!

Continuing with the Snowy St. Patty's Day Post Extravaganza(tm)!, and the emerging theme of Pictures Of My Houseplants, here is a little picture and story of the $5 corn plant, because I can't leave a plant behind! We were at Home Depot the other day as we do sometimes, and they had a sale of large houseplants for $10. Lots of dracaena, which we already have quite a few of, and a few dieffenbachia which we also have a couple of already. There was also this corn plant, which was looking very scraggly and brown and sad. When we asked the lady if it was $10 as well, she answered that she would give it to us for $5 because no one wanted it and it was pretty sad looking. Sold! I took it home, cut off all the brown stuff, cleaned it up and put it in it's temporary home in an old dutch oven (temporary because we are moving soon so I will repot it at the new house, and I want to give it some time to recover before replanting it), sat it on a box in front of the window to get some light and look at how nice it looks! I forgot to take a "before" picture but I think it's looking pretty good!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

Here are some shamrocks for you!

Wee succulents!

Aren't these wee succulents adorable? I got them at the grocery store as well in a multipack that included... butt plants! In case you were wondering the ones I started from seed a while ago didn't work because I kinda forgot about them and they dried up. But I got a couple of fully grown ones that I will post later on today as part of the Snowy St. Patty's Day Post Extravaganza(tm)!

Pothos

Isn't this lime green Pothos pretty? We bought it at the grocery store (instead of groceries...) and it's Craig's favourite houseplant!

Finally my deiffenbachia is growing!

Soooo remember a long time ago in November I posted how I had a deiffenbachia leaf cutting I was determined to root, and it was supposed to take forever this way but I was being patient because the leaf looked healthy, and it had already been two months with nothing happening? Well...



Finally after *7 MONTHS* some action is happening! The tip of that leaf that is emerging used to be level with the small open leaf! The white ring near the tip of the opening leaf was at the base of the small leaf FOREVER and I thought nothing would ever happen and it is finally showing some signs of life! It has actually opened a lot more since this picture was taken but I need to go take a more recent picture to show. It must've been saving up energy forever to get that leaf growing. Neat!
