#houseplants

I’ll be honest, I like plants more than I like people.

Since I found out my grad program DOESN’T start today (they misprinted an updatedstart date — it actually begins the 25th), I unexpectedly have a little more time to enjoy myself before dipping into the full grad-grind!

I have been spending some of my leisure time tending to numerous plants, including my new (and growing) propagation station, as featured above! Currently, I’m trying to establish 3 buddies. From left to right are mint (already planted), ??? (Truly, I’ve no idea what the buddy living in the syrup bottle is), Zamioculcas zamiifolia (“ZZ”), and… a green onion!

Delightfully, the green onion is already growing new roots. The ZZ I’m less sure of. In general, I don’t know how well ZZs take to water propagation, but so far it’s leaves are still supple. As for the ??? plant, it has been hanging in water for weeks without rooting! Even so, it also remains pretty supple. So I guess we’ll just see how it goes, huh?

Unfortunately, most of the extra time will be devoted to the work-grind instead. The following are on this week’s menu of To-Dos:

• Finalize and publish the Spring tutoring schedule
• Co-write the conclusion/analysis for a small research paper (So excited!!)
• Finish developing “Welcome Back!” assignments

As much as I’m enjoying a break, COVID has me stir-crazy and I’m really looking forward to getting started on the next steps of my future career! As such, I cannot wait until I can get started with my program. By then, I should have more relevant and interesting content to share.

Houseplant and Doppo

My collection is changed so much! My teal pot dream is becoming reality. Still have like 10 small pots that aren’t teal to replace. How have you guys been? Send me your questions and comments!

Hiiii. It’s been forever.

Who is still obsessed with succulents??

Another Monstera Monday

Did I take our most mature monstera with a new leaf down two flights of stairs to take this photo? Yeah, I might have but in my defense, our basement gets some really lovely direct light in the late afternoon. Not pictured: all the plants I moved to make way for this big ole girl.
