Good Evening to ALL who may come across this post 😊 I have something I NEED to share with you guys 🤯 So on Tuesday, I went out on the front porch to water some plants 🪴 (I don’t go out there often because of the wasp and the heat this time of year) As I’m watering my smaller Bird of Paradise, I notice it’s REALLY leaning towards the stairs which makes it in the way when walking up or down. Therefore I thought why don’t I switch it with my banana tree so it’ll lean more towards the center. I lean over to pick it up and I’m trying to figure out WHY it won’t come out of the concrete pot?! 🤔 Usually the plants come right out, but not this time. So I’m pulling, I’m tugging, I’m wiggling, I’m leaning it every which way and NOTHING! Well FINALLY it lets loose!!! Believe it or NOT, the BOP roots had grown out of the drainage holes in the clay pot and into the cement pot 😳🤯😳 I cannot believe how big, thick, and healthy those roots are! It just blows my mind. I never would have thought that would happen. I mean I could have planted the BOP directly into the cement planter, but that thing is extremely HEAVY. So to make it easier, I just put the clay pot inside the cement pot! Now I have to do a repot 🤯🤯 And last year, I had a bunch of broken stems from my Easter and Thanksgiving Cactus. So I planted all of them in a little throw away container with some peat moss. Now the Thanksgiving Cactus wants to bloom?!? WHAT?? I’m sooo confused, yet sooo excited 😜 Last, but not least is my Lifesaver Cactus. It’s from MR SONNY and it’s about to BLOOM 🥰❤️🥰 FIRST TIME EVER!!!!!! #FloweringPlants #RootPorn #TheWateringHole #HappyPlants #BirdOfParadise #thanksgivingcactus #EasterCactus #LifesaverCactus #NewGrowth #PlantLove #PlantAddict @TheConservator ❤️❤️

#BirdOfParadise #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #TheWateringHole #NewGrowth one of my BOP is really getting big. He’s about 2 years old so no flowers yet but Tom’s sprouting this huge leaf in the middle and it’s sort of hard inside so I’m not sure if it’s a few leaves rolled up or the beginning of a flower stalk inside the leaf,🤷‍♀️! It’s so exciting!! I hope it’s a flower stalk because I feel like I’ve been waiting forever. The 1st photo is a picture of Tom he when I got him. Other photos are from tonight. 🤞 I’m going to see a flower shoot out in a few weeks!!!
