I was busy this morning. I started a few new seeds but also took cuttings from the mulberry bushes, spider plant, and Swedish ivy. Doing so is very easy and you get free new plants!!! I simply take my cutting, dip it an organic rooting hormone, then stick it in some soil. I’ve had 100% success doing this so far. And I had a nice pile of food to feed from the leaf I trimmed off before planting!6B05B1D9-B983-40E8-B61B-2F0160F43DA1.jpeg8C5F0E1E-648E-4DFC-B43E-B5122EEFD4FB.jpeg4F4AE791-6F45-4B78-B827-156600F1E6D4.jpegBFFA42B6-3C07-4127-AA24-0D8E3F57EFAE.jpegEC083A29-135C-4CF9-8947-A5AA4EA44229.jpegB4993414-A554-445D-9B0E-E628E4E2BE03.jpeg

Nice job @timus! I have fond memories of my spider plant being that small once! ? Then it went bonkers - I call this "Spidey Gone Wild!" Now I have 4 smaller (sorta) ones.

Smidgen likes to think he's hiding (!) under the one in his house.

Do the tortoises eat the spider plant?

Our panther chameleon (Mr. Grumpy Pants ?) loves my spider plant in the front window. For some reason, he likes hanging on it upside down - go figure! We let him out onto the plant table to go 'splorin' every now and then (so long as he's already pooped that day!) He's a good boy.

I have always loved panthers. They are just stunning in their coloration.
