This month has been pretty quiet so I am bored naturally, but I have been turned on to Craigslist and Facebook Groups where I can get free things! At first I wanted to adopt every pet I saw online, but you can't do that when you live in an apartment. I did find an amazing couch for free though! There is only so many pieces of furniture you can fit into an apartment as well, so what can I hoard you may ask? Plants!
My first plant that is still alive, might I add, is a hanging flower basket that is a piece of work to keep happy. I've been feeding it coffee grounds, water and I even added potting soil since it's been around for a while. The flowers are sometimes open and beautiful, other times closed or dead. The plant really is very temperamental.
My low maintenance plant that I just got last week is my new snapdragons. I bought three, put some cover with them in a new pot. The flowers haven't sagged or turned colors yet. I am hoping to keep it healthy and happy.
Knowledge So Far
You have to dead head flowers that die so they can reseed and bloom again. Coffee grounds are good, but in moderation. Egg shells blended are good. Epsom salt twice a month can be good too!
My hanging basket is still yellow in certain spots, so I am looking for ways to nourish it. I rotate it so it can get plenty of sun. If you have any ideas, let me know!
Anyways, that is what I have been interested in lately, finding free plants online and expanding my garden.
