Hi Al! And thank you for the run down on substrates, perched water, and roots! I appreciate your tutorial pics on pruning, too. The visual aid is just what I needed. Also, the seedling in the acorn is just gorgeous. Love it.
Today will be busier than planned due to repotting my draecena. Thanks for the nudge; intuitively, I feared both the difference in the mixes, and, the lack of pruning.
Plants remind me of children:
They are innocent.
They are beautiful.
They are entirely dependent.
So, it is with great care that I consider all the information that is out there before I parent my plant. Especially when it comes to basics.
Thank you for assisting my learning curve. I appreciate you.
PS. I took the ladybug outside yesterday. My plant doesn't have pests, and Ms. Ladybug deserves a full life in the great outdoors. Just sayin'. Have an AWESOME day.
