Plants Do Woo Too

I just wanted to share a spiritually oriented fun little story -

I had recently gotten 6mm Green Aventurine beads to put with each of my plants - in their pots or water containers if that's how I have them.

I had thought, not long before doing this, that if I got more plants, it would be more Lucky Bamboo (a type of Dracaena) and the mini-Palms. It was on Wed. that I put all these beads with the plants and kept the rest set aside in my Hamburg Amerika Linie (Line) tin with my other Jupiter/Sagittarius items.

On Thursday, I went out to get groceries and had to stop at a place to pick up indoor soil to do some repotting. While there at that store just looking at the massive stock of houseplants, a young woman came over to me (she was probably a bit younger than I). She apparently worked there, but I didn't realize since I didn't see any uniform vest. She stood near me and said something to the effect of - "I'll mark anything half-off as long as it's not chistmassy." It didn't sink in at first, because I didn't realize she was talking to me, and turned and was like, "Huh?":cautious: and so she repeated herself. So as equations and the like regarding pots, soil, and apartment locations, began to appear in the air above my head... I thought, "Yeah I'll take everything two Lucky Bamboo... oh, and then a mini-Palm."

So...that's how some new friends joined the Wood element (Feng Shui) for currency in my working.:D

Lucky Bamboo is a Draceana? Oh good grief

I've got all kinds of Draceana in my subtropical yard. We just chopped back several 15 feet tall. Oh, I guess they are reshooting now and sort of look like Bamboo.....

:whistle:

Dracaenas do rather well for me. There was one that is a sort of lime green in color that I air propagated not too long ago. That's doing well, along with the 'baby' that came from it. The plants that I have that I can list off the top of my head are the various Dracaenas, Pothos/Devil's Ivy, Christmas Cactus, Pepperomia, Peace Lilies, and a plant that has large round striped leaves which I don't know the name to/of. I also have 3 air plants still managing to live out of a pack that I got on Amazon. Most of those died over the summer because of not only how hot it got, but then also running the AC all that time sucked the moisture out of the air. I tried to keep up with things but some of the plants then got too wet down near the root area and rotted out. Oh well...I never said Air element was my strong suit.:p

Those all sound like nice house plants. Funny, how would you know the air plant died?

My daughter likes to obtain house plants. Another odd one just showed up: a ZZ plant from Eastern Africa.

The bottoms of them get brown and mushy with the air plant getting too moist at the bottom of them. One of them had really fine filament-like 'leaves' that dried out really quick. I think that was the first one to go. One of them was an older plant and had 2 'pups' and so it died due to age - partially, and the 'pups' didn't make it through. I originally had them in an old heavy glass fishbowl that the mother wanted to get rid of and I had ideas for - so that's where I originally had the air plants, atop stones. Now the fishbowl has several propagations of the lime-green pothos growing in it. Since that plant can grow in water, I don't have to worry too much about the soil moisture.

I tend to love my lime-green colored plants and the palms quite a bit. Some of my interior design inspiration comes from the insides of the passenger liners and ships from the early 20th century. Quite a few of them had palms in.

There was one other plant I forgot to mention and that one has green-white leaves - not sure the name of it either.
