Today, we "rescued" a few of our plants from various corners of the house. They were out of sight out of mind. I re-potted several of them for Slick. We then moved all these forgotten plants to a nice sunny spot in the greatroom where we will hopefully notice them more. We had one "fatality." A fern my mother gave us when we got married. I carefully pruned and re-potted the good sections in fresh soil, but I fear it's not long for this world.
The big surprise was the vine which we named Bernie (long story.) It was bursting at it's pot. I literally had to destroy the pot to re-plant it. That plant has been with us since our apartment 10 years ago.
The other thing we did was to take about 6 more babies off the spider plant. Damn thing doesn't look like a plant anymore, just a baby factory. You can see the recently potted baby and most of the six other babies in water hopefully getting their roots. The tradition is to give most of them away once they are potted, so hopefully we'll find a good home for them all.
I'm seriously considering getting some kind of shelf (like a baker's rack) and putting it in front of the window so we can make a nice indoor garden.
