Rearranging plants to bring some inside for the winter. I found this little rolling stand for this begonia, so cute.

It’s transplanting time! My house is so dry in the winter due to the forced air heat and using humidifiers doesn’t make much of a dent at all. I’m switching some plants from terracotta pots to these plastic “self-watering” pots - there is a cotton cord loop through the bottom of the pot that touches water in the reservoir tray to keep the soil moist. Hopefully that helps through this winter. I’m not super happy about switching to plastic but I think overall it will help. And the pots are cute at least.

Today’s transplant efforts.

I ended up splitting my Triostar Stromanthe. It’s neat to see how the roots grow in all these plants!

So when y’all say “train the plant” what does that mean? Like make the leaves go a certain way? (That’s my guess)

I put my tradescantia “wandering dudette” outside for the summer and she grew a crazy amount. Well, bringing her inside was traumatic. I broke off most of her trailing limbs. :sweat: stuck some in water and threw away a bunch. Here’s hoping for a happy plant this winter!

I did treat the soil with a systemic granule for any bugs in the soil a week before bringing her inside, sprayed her down really thoroughly with water, plus a couple applications of neem oil. There were spider webs all through her leaves so I’m hoping the spiders did a good job too.

Unexpected awesome Walmart find this morning.

Rarely go to WalMart, but had to for a non-plant endeavor. Decided to look in the garden center for kicks.
Found this melocactus azureus. Not “rare” by any stretch, but don’t see them around a ton. I have one already but I love the blue coloring too much.
