Avocado from seed update!

Lots of new growth after the rain. I’m keeping the soil moist to continue the growth. So far looking good!

I’ve grown this from seed for 3 years! I use a wet towel to cover the pit, then put it all in a Ziploc bag and keep it in a dry place.

Check on it once a week, this is a crucial step, so set up reminders on your phone! You should see roots after 4-8 weeks. Pot it in soil after the roots are about 3-4 inches long and strong.

Any questions, let me know!

My Philodendron Imperial Red keeps growing! These are the things that make me smile & cheer me up. Yes, I’m struggling with some of my babies and I’m focusing my energy on them, but damn… we have to appreciate and value the good things happening around us every single day!

Philodendron Care:

Medium indirect light

Let them dry well between watering sessions. Remember to follow the finger test.

Regular Humidity

I haven’t fertilizer this one in the year I’ve grown her. I’ll update my care tips when I do.

My gorgeous Pachira Aquatica (money tree). She has grown so much since I got her. These are the main care tips:

Medium indirect light

Let her dry the top inch and a half. Then, I’ve been bottom watering her overnight.

Regular humidity

Pet Safe

I’m probably repotting him at some point this year, depending on her roots.

Bird of Paradise From Seed Check ✅!!! THEY ARE GROWING!

This is so exciting, but from personal experience, it is still too soon to scream victory! Seedlings are especially sensitive to anything. Too much of this, too little of that, if you miss to check on them one day, then you might lose them.

I’m manually watering them and placing them outside during the day, for them to get full sun. Then taking them back in to protect them from the cold and outsiders

If you haven’t watched them, I posted about 3 videos of the process back in November if I remember right. It took about 8 weeks for them to sprout. This is week 10.

My baby!! I’ve grown this one from seed, a 3.5 year journey so far. Can’t wait for her to keep growing!

Reorganizing my herbs bed

Most of my herbs are potted and buried in the soil. It makes it so much easier to control, but also easy to move around.

All of these were small when I planted them, the three rosemary bushes grew exponentially and they were keeping the sun from hitting the other herbs, so I moved them around.

I have:

1. Rosemary in the back
2. Sage on the right side
3. Mint & lemon balm next to the sage
4. Thyme in the front left side
5. Geranium in the middle left side
6. More lemon balm in front of the rosemary

Let’s see how they grow!
