To Mix Or Not To Mix, That Is The Question!

Published by Niki at 11:04 am under Types of Plants, general Edit This

 I have mixed feelings about putting different plants in the same pot. When it is done right it looks good (and hopefully the plants grow well together).   However, if you are not a good mixer you may end up with one or two dead plants.

I, myself, am not good at mixing plants.   I still try, but usually end up having to separate the plants. Example, a few post’s back I posted a picture of one of my attempts to mix and it isn’t going well.

During the last re-potting I mixed a mother-in-laws tongue and cutting of the plant pictured in the last post. So far, so good. The M.I.L.T. is not growing as fast as the other plant in the pot. I think I will have to separate them before to long.  The M.I.L.T. will end up lost in the other plant.   I was hoping to use the M.I.L.T as the holder for the other plant.  “In my head”, the climbing plant wrapped around the M.I.L.T. looked really cool but this attempt may not end the way I wanted it too.

I may try it with a older climbing plant.

I will get pictures of this up ASAP.
