Five days ago I took a couple of pictures of Bellana’s plant clipping. I took the same pictures tonight. I was hoping to see signs of growth. There weren’t any. Now I’m nervous that I killed it. Oh no!

Remember the plant clipping from yesterday? An article we read said to wait for the new sprout to be an inch long before moving to a pot. We figured it would take a few days.
Nope. Not only is the sprout we saw yesterday about an inch long today, but there is a new second sprout that’s twice as long!
So…

Bellana has a plant that has a lot of sentimental value. It was originally her step mother’s mother’s plant and she is no longer with us. Keeping this plant alive and healthy is really important.
It spent the last couple of weeks at our house. I was nervous that I’d do something to hurt it. We watered it a couple of times and it seems okay.
Earlier today she took it back to dad’s house, but we asked if we could take a clipping of it and try to grow a new plant. We should try to keep this guy alive forever if we can, and if it lives in multiple pots in multiple locations then that just increases the chances. Bellana’s plant started out as a clipping of the original so why not start another?
Wish this little guy luck and hope it starts a new life. Fingers crossed.

It’s been so long since we’ve seen the Japanese Peace Lily bloom, and here’s this little sucker looking like it was going to and suddenly it’s turning brown!
Aw, come on you son of a bitch! Bloom, damn it!!
