Accidental bonsai Mickey Mouse taro
#HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #evilgenius I did a Thing…. Completely by accident but this little guy is very quickly becoming my favourite plant.
A couple months ago I got hold of 2 Mickey Mouse xanthasoma juveniles, one had 2 growth points and a long enough stem with roots growing in opposite directions on each end. I naturally did the only thing I could and chopped it in half and Ta Daaaa 3 plants!!
However I completely forgot about Bonsai 101…. Because I snipped the stem when the smallest one was barely a green triangle sticking out (if they weren’t bare rooted I wouldn’t have seen the second growth point) so when I snipped it, the plant decided it must be Forever Smol and now I have an accidental bonsai Mickey Mouse xanthasoma the size of a dwarf syngonium 🥰😍🤣 how’s that for some #madscientist crazy plant experimenting 😜 sometimes you succeed, sometimes you kill plants experimenting and other times you get something wonderful and completely unexpected 😊
And I shall call him Squishy 😏

@RealSimpleMama oh I knew you would get the reference 🤩❤️ and yes it’s absolutely because I say “hey there lil guy” when I talk to him 😅😊

@RealSimpleMama forgot to add the pic to my last comment 🤣 this one usually goes with any personal plants I post on fb 🤣
@PoisonIvys oh yes I have a few I keep too! For plants but mostly for my desk at work (sticky kindergartener fingers… this is why we can’t have nice things).
@RealSimpleMama omg the amount of times the kids break something from not listening and I say “this is why we can’t have nice things” 🤣🤣 I also say it when the pets break something or my mother does something clumsy (she’s so bad for it, weekly there’s bandaids required because mum hurt herself)
I use Cuzco because I don’t like to be touched and legit one time someone touched me I automatically came out with “you threw off my groove, man” in petulant child pose and everyone called me Cuzco for about 6 months despite my insistence I’m totally ezma 🤣🤣🤣
I actually nearly called him squeaker 👀🤣

@PoisonIvys geez poor mom! I hope she’s ok.
Touch is one of my love languages with my partner only, otherwise it depends on if you’re in my circle or not. I’m not a touchy person at all and I teach over 350 kids a week so. Yeah. Lots of hand sanitizer 🤪🤪🤪
(Old geezer voice) “I threw off the Emperor’s groove!”

@PoisonIvys “is that… my… voice?!” 🤣🤣🤣 dear God I love that movie. WRONG LEVER
And I’m totally Patchas wife too - I get all pissed off about things and then “I gotta go wash something” 😁
(And also how many times have we done this in comments with kids’ movie quotes?! We need our own hashtag or a damn award or something….)
Ok you crazy Aussie I’m going to bed 😎

@PoisonIvys bahahaha I adore the hashtag. I’ll make the popcorn!
I mean, my first thought was EVERYBODY WINS but I’m guessing that’s a cop-out kind of answer. 🤪
