Back in the 70s when I only had about 75 plants, I decided to give African Violets a go. It was my fist attempt at leaf propagation and I was hooked. The idea that you could stick a leaf in the ground and it grew a plant had me spellbound. I went on to air layering and branch cuttings with success. I "won't" mention rooting stems of hundreds of plants because that's obvious! Thank you for this channel and being human about everything, rather than fake "pseudo-intellectual"!
If you “only” had 75 plants back then I can only imagine how many you have now! Thanks so much for the kind words, and for taking the time to watch. It’s always awesome to connect with fellow growers!!
I recently got a cactus spine stuck in my knuckle; in the vein that runs across the first knuckle of the index finger. That was 4 weeks ago. That day my finger became inflamed and I couldn’t bend it. To this day, it is still sore & hurts when I bend it. Now I know why you don’t grow spiny cacti.
Haha now you get me. I actually just heard a real old school method for getting out cactus spines. Kinda weird but it works. You make a paste out of animal fat and salt. I used duck fat. And then put that on the spot and cover it overnight with a bandage. It should pull out the cactus spine.
My husband was just saying cutting down a Christmas tree is so wrong. I agree. I’ll try growing the tree you talked about. Ty
Your cat is so playful 🐾✨🐾

@@HouseplantHelp Unfortunately, I move cross country and had to sacrifice my collection. I have a very few new ones. I still dream about them, though!
I never knew orchids were so expansive!! That’s crazy!!

@ I’ve made a note of it and will keep for future reference. Thank you.
