Potting changes and fertilizing my plants.

3 months ago

After spending the difficult days due to my husband's accident, my plants were neglected, but when I returned to my routine work, here I am giving attention and care to my plants. I decided to change the fertilizer and the pots that I bought at a good price and in a dark color to combine with the challenge of the decoration and give them another presentation since they fulfill the function of decorating my home.

The first plant I planted in the pot was the zamioculca or money plant as it is also known, which for two months I had it in a container with water, which I changed every day. Now it has strong roots, a firm stem and bright green leaves, so I consider it ready to be transplanted to a pot.

The second plant transplanted to the new pot was another zamioculca but this one was in a very small clay pot for a larger one so that the roots can develop more easily and provide beauty to the plant.

The zamioculcas are perfect houseplants to decorate spaces and are easy to care for, to place in shady places so that their leaves turn dark green.

Continuing with my gardening work, now it is for the plant known as mother-in-law's tongue or St. George's sword, which can be planted either in gardens directly to the ground or in pots to decorate the interior of homes or offices. This plant does not require special care and is resistant to the environment.

To make this change of pot, I helped myself with a knife to loosen the soil and remove the plant without damaging the roots, in this case I had no gloves and improvised with plastic bags to avoid damaging my hands. Once the gardening work was finished with a watering, I waited for it to drain to place my plants in the strategic places of the home.

A touch of nature to the home is essential to decorate in an economical way, we must also consider the type of plant that are indoor and at the same time fulfill the decorative function.

Gardening is an activity that human beings should consider since it reduces blood pressure, stress and muscle tension. The time invested in watering, planting and caring for plants, besides contributing to the planet, we are doing something beneficial to our health.
