Now I Know WHY

Seeing that several of my indoor houseplants were in dior need of transplanting, I decided to finally bite the bullet to just get it done.  Some of the plants were so large I had to ask the Pres to help carry them downstairs to my garden bench located under the pergola.   

I had noticed that one of my really old Christmas Cactus was really looking pathetic and began wondering WHY.   I had transplanted several of my houseplants about two years ago and couldn't understand why only those I had repotted looked sad.

Well, let me tell you, it apparently was because I bought the wrong potting soil!  The soil I purchased was filled with materials which retained water.  It was meant for outside not inside plants...dummy!!

When I removed the plants from their respective pots, I saw that the soil around the roots was fat too wet!!  Of course, that would explain the sad looking leaves, I thought as I worked.  That afternoon I repotted two giant Christmas Cactus', two Hindu Ropes and my Spathe Flower.  As of this post, they are doing well and are considered discharged from ICU.

seeing, saying, and sharing...
