I went through with it anyway! I honestly believe that it doesn't matter how dirty I get over the course of my day because I am just going to shower before bed anyways. My experiment was this- We have a beautiful lilac bush on the corner of our house that is sprouting up tons of suckers. I read about how to dig some up and replant them. I decided to try it, but put one in a pot to see if it will live. My problem is that I have never successfully kept a potted plant alive. But if we end up moving soon (and I really hope we do) then I want to bring some of the suckers with us. So if this one lives then I'll know that it wouldn't be a waste of time to replant suckers at a new house.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it lives. I seem to have a black thumb, but I've always wanted to garden. I consider this a test. If it doesn't live, then maybe I need to consider not having plants. xP
Happy Earth Day!
ReplyDeleteOne thing you can do when planting suckers or cuttings is to dip (or water with) it in 'rootone' - which encourages root growth! It's basically vitamin B-1, so you could crush a B-1 tablet, & water with that!! I've done both ways, & it does help get things going :)
Good luck with your scolarship, & with the move :)
May the test be successful! I am a fellow black thumb, but I will still try! :) Best of luck with everything honey! :)
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed that it will work! I have a lilac bush out in front of my house, and when that thing blooms, boy do I love it!
