Concluding the Month of March.

Hey everyone, today is the official last day of March, 2015! It is the season of spring now! The weather here in North Carolina has gotten much warmer over the course of this month. I have some updates to share with you and also a new addition.
For the first plant, it is a golden pothos (epipremnum areum) and I purchased it around March 15th. It was severely root bound so I repotted the plant immediately:
This was around 2 weeks ago when I repotted this awesome plant and here is how it's doing today:
Since then, a new leaf has grown and now I am looking forward for this to trail all over my living room. It's been years since I last had one of these and I am  glad to have a golden pothos again! It is doing well in my west/ northwest facing window too! These seem to adapt to many different lighting conditions ranging from very low light to high light. I water my plant about twice a week, allowing it to dry out a little bit.
Another update for today is my mother in laws tongue plant (sansevieria trifasciata) which is definitely showing progress!
This plant loves this window! The new growth is getting taller as time progresses, this plant is very easy to take care of. I water this plant from wet to dry, once a week. I bought this plant back in January of 2015 and it has shown progress!
Last plant but most certainly not least is my lucky bamboo (dracaena sanderiana) plant!
 It's on the counter along with my orchids and my dracaena 'lemon surprise' plant. I bought this plant from the mall in October of 2014. It does grow pretty slowly but it still has made progress as well. It is in a vase with water and decorative rocks. I do change the water on a weekly basis because the water does tend to get dirty quickly. Lucky bamboo plants can also be grown in soil and they'll love it! I would like to try that for myself someday too.
So that is all for today, thank you all for reading and enjoying! See you all in April for more garden-tastic-ness!

Things Are Speeding Up

Happy March everyone! I noticed that I have not posted at all in February. There wasn't really much going on with my garden last month. Here in North Carolina we have had quite a few snow days which were very nice but also they had their challenges too. Since March has arrived, things are starting to look positive for my plants. I noticed today that my mother in laws tongue propagation that I've started in April of 2014 is showing new growth on the baby plant. I have also noticed that the original leaf cutting that I've planted is starting to turn yellow and will most likely die. This is normal for this to happen. So here's a photo of how it looks today: 
I am loving the progress that this propagation is making! Another plant that I would like to share progress of is my aloe vera plant:
 It is literally growing like crazy! I love this plant, I bought it from Lowes in May of 2014 and it has transformed totally! I did add some decorative rocks that makes it look really cool. I am thinking of purchasing another aloe vera plant in the upcoming months as spring approaches soon. The days are starting to get longer gradually. I am planning to do a few more updates this month so to be continued. Thank you all so much for reading today, have a great Friday!
