ahh, there we go! prayer
plant (and a particularly pretty variety). and boston fern...that's what i meant to say!!
diffenbaccia. that's it too, i think. i couldn't recall that name earlier. i'm not coming up with anything on google for diff's tho...
k. if the heat just came on that is definitely affecting the fern! misting at least twice daily should help it get back on track.
i can certainly understand wanting to keep the display intact. absolutely! {{{jean)))
on second look at your pic, it looks like it's just one prayer
plant?
how about this? split the two leafy
plants - put the newbies in a pot together or seperately. then, put the remaining
plants back into the basket with the fern.
you can remove/replace the
plants without damaging the basket. it'll just take some careful manuvering. do you have the small tools for indoor
plants? if not, just use a knife, tablespoon and fork.
lay newspaper down on your table and then carefully seperate the soil from around the edge of the plastic pot. gently insert the fork in the soil around the fern - once it's all loosened, gently use the spoon to work the fern out. do the same with the others.
once you have the
plants out of the basket you should be able to take the pot out of the basket and then i'd put all fresh soil in it and then put it back into the basket.
use a sharp knife (or a razor blade) to seperate the two
plants into two pieces each. i wouldn't do anything with the fern. put the three
plants back into the basket planter and the two newbies in seperate pots (or together in one).
