Yesterday, I felt well, so Fin and I blitzed house cleaning and the flat looks, feels and smells lovely!
I was doing the sitting room and became aware of my poor, neglected plants.
A couple were hardy enough to have survive the neglect unscathed:
But the others were in a sorry, sorry state. For goodness sake, even the ivy was half dead, and ivy will survive just about anything:
This little baby I have had for 10 years. I knew that World's Clumsiest Cat had knocked into it a few days ago. I hadn't realised that she had dislodged the roots completely:
I repotted it.
A bit of judicious snipping was in order:
I then put the plants on a tray, on the dining table, in front of the window, in the hope that
a) the extra light will do them good
b) as they are right by me, I won't neglect them
This is how they looked this morning:
So there's hope for them yet!
On a positive note, the erstwhile 'Blanket of Gloom' is starting to morph into the 'Blanket of This Might Be a Piece of Alright'! :
Watch this space!
pleased to see the plants responded to your TLC, they look good from here!!! Love the blanket colours definitely now a piece of alright!!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm starting to feel the love with the colours and it will continue to get brighter!
