Tag: Bellana’s plant clipping
New Branch Already
Bertha’s brand new branch is already splitting off another new branch! Go Bertha!
Leaf
Bertha’s new leaf is opening up nicely. Good job, little leaf!
Bertha Update
I watered all of the houseplants today. Check out Bertha. Leaf #6 is coming along nicely.
I wonder, will she ever grow two new leaves at once? I don’t know.
Bertha’s New Branch
We moved Bertha the plant clipping to a new window and she started growing a new branch to show her approval. Or something like that.
Bertha Update
Is Bertha taller?
On January 26th she looked like this (taken with my IPad, trying to use about the same angle each time):
On January 31st she looked like this:
Today, February 22nd, she looks like this:
It does seem a little taller. Our baby is growing. Now let’s sprout a new leaf, kiddo! You can do it! We believe in you!
Bertha Lives
Bertha’s new leaf is open and healthy and loving life.
Also, are there new buds forming? Is “bud” the right term?
Is the Plant Growing?
I think this might be a sign of old age, but I am completely fucking fascinated with the little plant clipping. It sat in a glass of water for a couple of weeks without growing at all, then in two days it sprouted killer roots. We potted it and put it in the window. I open the blinds every day (it only gets indirect sunlight) and I watered it a couple of times (not too much) and it’s definitely not dead yet.
But has it grown at all? I think so, but it might be wishful thinking. I’m going to start documenting it. Get ready for shit loads of pictures of Bellana’s little clipping.
I’m hoping it will be 10 feet tall by the time she gets home.
