🍀✨️ APHRODITE UPDATE! ✨️🍀
(Long post)
If you have been with me since October or so, you may have remembered my Ti Plant, Aphrodite. She got spider mites and dealt with it for as long as I remember, but I worked hard with her this season, and I have brought great news.
Here's a new image of Aphrodite. I gave her a small name change (from Aprodite to Aphrodite, like the god) because she will become beautiful again. Although most of her was diced away into pieces, she still lives on. The spider mites are nearly eradicated.
But, I also did something yesterday. I took one of her growing sprouts and pulled it out of her pot, hopefully. This will be a new plant just in case the spider mites strike again on Aprodite.
I soaked it in a mix of water and insectidal soap for about a minute and rinsed it in the sink, hopefully eradicating any possible mites on it. l am now letting it propagate in one of the hydroponic pods.
I am naming the sprout Harmonia because she is the daughter of Aphrodite (both as a plant and in the myth).
(Please take note that I don't know anything else about Aphrodite and Harmonia in the myth.)

Here's an update: I got Aphrodite outside to (FINALLY) repot her and found out the sprouts were actually separate plants. Sadly, I do not have enough soil and just ran out, so I cannot pot them all. Plus, all three of them were like Goldilocks (they wanted a pot that was JUST right, and so it basically turned into a game of swapping out a bunch of plants and their pots).
I am finally done with the plant that I will still call Aphrodite since it is the leafiest. But, I will need name Ideas for the other two sprouts that you see in the post.
