New Soil For All!!

Published by Niki at 1:53 pm under general Edit This

Since I have traumatized my plants moving I decided to give them all new soil. I even sprang for the good stuff. It has those fertilizer balls that continuously feed the plants. The bag says for up to 9 months.

During my re-potting I did some condensing. In some pots I put more then one plant. Some of the plants I buddy up were previously in pots together. I had given them separate pots thinking they needed more space. However they didn’t flourish like I thought they would. I guess they like being crowed.

This bunch of three isn’t doing very well. especially the one at the bottom. It is just dying.

I am not sure what these plants are called. The plants in the top picture I got from my mother-in-law’s yard. My husband had it in as an indoor plant a few years before I met him and it ended up outside. It would die off in the winter and come back in the spring. From the first time I saw them I thought they looked like they should be inside, finally I asked if I could dig them up.

Since I have put them back in a pot and brought them inside, they haven’t died off in the winter (it has been indoors for 2 winters now). But on the other hand it hasn’t really done much growing. I would be more concerned if they didn’t look healthy. I am trying to find out the name of these plants. If anyone knows or has a guess, leave a comment!

The second and third picture are the plants that I got a while back (read that post) from Kmart. If anyone knows the names of these plants let me
know!

I will probably be separating these plants, maybe that will save them.

The other plants are loving the new soil. Some are growing like weeds, lol. I will get some updated pictures of my plants posted on here soon.

Now that my collection isn’t all crowed on my kitchen table it don’t look as big. now that they are scattered about I feel like I must get more, lol. I miss my mini jungle.
