Even the largest of beings had to start somewhere.

Great point! Why do we keep watering the lawn just to mow it down? It's such a strange cycle. Instead, we could grow gardens, plants, and trees. Bees would thrive, it's easier to maintain, and plants and trees help cool the air during the summer.

This is a terrarium I made last week. I used moss from my yard and a moss covered branch and piece of bark I found on a walk. I like to experiment with different plants in my terrariums. This one I added small pieces of Peperomia tetragona and fresh clippings from one of my tradescantia chrysophylla’s aka speedy Jenny or baby bunny belly. I love to watch the progress of the roots each day. The tradescantia chrysophylla is a fast growing vining/trailing plant. I noticed it propagated easily in soil and would develop white roots from its nodes quickly in damp conditions. My hope is to have it fill the terrarium with vines.

Planting day! A few shots of my spice rack propagation station. I add clippings to the glasses constantly. The ones in the photos were in plain water for a few months. I like repurposing containers or vessels so I used seltzer and beer cans as my planters.

A beautiful new leaf on one of my Variegated Epipremnum Aureum aka Varigated pothos aka Snow Queen pothos or Marble Queen pothos to some. The amazing colors and details in these leaves never cease to amaze me.
