And there is something calming about getting dirt under your fingernails, too. I re-planted all my plants this weekend. I even went to the second hand store down the street and found three nice little pots to put the new cuttings in.
I know November might not be the best time to change soils for the plants, that they prefer sleeping during winter just like everyone else – but they’ve been looking so sad lately and I thought something new would do all of us some good. It felt good in my hands, covering the roots with new, moist soil.
So now I have a new set of freshly planted plants. Let’s see if they survive the winter. The orchid is shedding its flowers.
