Life is "mind over matter". If I d
Then I have a straight-leafed, variegated Spider plant.
The leaves on this one are green inside--and white-stripe on the outside edges.
It is pretty--and has a dainty look.
*********************************************************

And lastly--I wanted to show you my "Swedish Ivy"--which I have had for about 25 or more years.
I have continued to propagate it from cuttings. Easy-Peesy! Roots right into the soil in a week ar two.

Here is the "secret" to growing full, lush Swedish Ivies. Place THREE cuttings in each finger-hole
in your new pots. As these start to grow out--pinch them all at least twice. This will give you a really
full plant.
And--here is how many bunches of 3 cuttings you need to put in different size pots
to grow a really full plant:
4" pots----2-3
6" pots----4
8" pots----5
10" pots---7
12" pots--11

Ppicture #4 shows a tray-full of Swedish Ivy starts in 4" pots this past June.
They NEVER wilt--just grow roots and march on. These are rooted--but not pinchedd yet.

Picture #5 shows you where all my Spider HB spend the winter--hanging inside near a window t
that does not really have any good light--as the patio roof is right outside of it.

That's all, JB. If you have any other questions I will be glad to post again. Gita
