  • Patience. Again.

    A few weeks ago I mentioned that I was attempting to propagate the house plant gifted to us by friends. It’s been a learning experience, both in the actual process and in practicing patience.

    I’ve never been great at that. Maybe it’s rooted in ADHD, maybe not – but I have a tendency to rush ahead for better or worse. With this, however, there’s not much of a choice other than to “wait and see.”

    The leaves in the planter look healthy still, but I’m also trying to propagate in water with a few clippings. With a heartleaf philodendron plant it can take something like 4-5 weeks, maybe more, for roots to start showing. I’ve seen people recommend waiting for those roots to grow more roots before moving it to a planter.

    There’s a part of me that wants to call it another failed project or to childishly blame it on my own lack of skill but I’m trying my best to just let it be.

    We’ll see how it goes.

    Now playing:

    I’m attempting to propagate leaves from a lovely house plant our friends gifted us with. The planter itself was a gift from Anabel early on while we were dating and it has been my favorite ever since. We had a very long and leafy plant in there for a while but due to neglect it wilted away.

    We’ve taken care of the houseplant our friends gifted us with rather well, though. We’ve had it for quite some time and it has been growing to the point that I feel taking some clippings to attempt propagation with didn’t feel like it would cause much harm.

    The gifted plant mentioned above

    It’s been almost a week and the leaves have been looking healthy (as seen in the post way up top) so I’m feeling optimistic. I’ve had plants for a long time but I’m trying to be more attentive to them and care for them properly.

    Here’s to hoping the skull plant continues to grow.
