:nodding:Oh Cinta, You have a good memory!!! You totally got me using my old tank as a starter\terrarium. I have been sort of tied at the hip to that thing for about 3 months now. I drug it in the house shortly after your post, about your tank. Truth be told ( @purpleinopp, )Tiffany had a serious hand in my new crazy obsession, too. Hearing her plopping things in dirt or pots and having a gorgeous mature plant in 2 and a half days, she was just tempting me with her mad propagation skills.

I am afraid I have gone a little mad. Dinner is just late most nights. My husband is hungry for a while, but too bad, lol; I have watering to do. So many tiny thirsty plants............

If someone throws a plastic cup in the trash at work, I literally will dig it out of their garbage.

soooo tacky

But hey I need pots...........lots of em. I drink a few glasses of water a day, just so I can plant another tiny plant in the cups. I have 5 coleus, so tiny, I am glad I have a magnifying glass. I have 10 ficus, (8 were for insurance, What I will ever do with all these trees............oh man, and on and on. Here are pics of the monster you and Tiff created. I have propagated the ugliest Cane Begonia specimens of all time, I fried a tiny spider plant, black, I mean super black!! I obsessed while a hoya cutting with a spur on the end, did not root for 4 months.

Here is the mess that is me propagating,,,,,,, Very leggy ugly Begonia on top right, and 3 little pots of ficus in the center. So many little ficus................



The last is the little 10 gallon fish tank, stuffed with tiny lame silly looking little plants.



I have started a lot of plants this summer, inside and out; and it is truly do to you and Tiffany. It is certain most are better than I at it, but oh well. Thanks ladies, I have really had fun with it.
