I bought a couple of plants at IKEA and more at Plantagen. Re-potted all of those, as well as one I had from before. Checked the roots of the Anthurium that looks unwell, in case the roots were rotting, but the ones I could see were all healthy, so I just moved it to a sunnier spot. Also moved and pruned my small jade tree, which I was actually considering throwing out because it looks so thin and spindly, but today is a day of new beginnings for houseplants here, so it gets another chance. And finally divided and re-potted an old Clivia, which was a real tentacle monster inside its pot. It is now four separate plants, all of which lost some roots in the process. It remains to be seen how many survive. I almost hope it isn&#8217;t all of them, because I don&#8217;t want four Clivias.<\/p>\n<p>I find that re-potting is annoying to do for just one plant, because of the mess it makes, and because of all the stuff that&#8217;s needed. So it&#8217;s actually perfect to do it like this, in bulk. I set up a whole workstation on the deck. For the first time ever, this process felt efficient &#8211; time spent on setting up and cleaning up was less than time spent actually planting.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/helen\/blog\/images\/daily_5\/4232_plants_2.jpg\" class=\"x6y45\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Houseplant day.
