But during a recent visit to my mom's I fell in love with this little guy:
My mom was sweet enough to let me test out my plant keeping abilities and the sweet little ivy came home with me. That was a month ago and it is still alive... more than alive, thriving!
But you'll notice, there are 2 pots and only 1 plant. So, I'm going to really put the green thumb to the test and along with keeping the ivy alive, and the plants for Bug's teachers - I've gone ahead and clipped off a few of the leaves from the ivy, as well as the pothos and put them in water to see if I can get them to take root:
I'll keep you posted on how they are doing... though you might want to pray for them, just a bit anyway.
The Pothos is so hardy you cannot possibly kill it! Altho, having said that, I may have just jinxed you, sorry :( I bought a potted one and submerged the pot in my aquarium so only the top leaf was above water and the thing grew like crazy, when I redid my aquarium it got potted in a seashell on my bookshelf. The thing is indestructible!
ReplyDeleteThose leaves may not sprout roots unless you have a chunk of the vine in there too, they have 'eyes' sort of like a potato...ish.
Good Luck!
Both the ivy and the pothos have "node" like things on the stems and that's where the roots will grow from. With pothos I have just stuck a stem I clipped off in some dirt and as long as it has that node it will grow roots. Good luck! Love your blog
