Fall Foliage Fiasco

I adore alliteration. That has nothing to do with this post. I just wanted you to know that in case you were wondering why some of my post titles sound like they were named by a well read kindergartener.

Right, so I've been trying to manage my plant to space ratio issues. Which wouldn't really be a problem if I were physically capable of simply repotting a plant.

I'm sorry but moving a plant from one pot to another just isn't that exciting. I NEED excitement. Seriously, I'm a housewife, I get most of my entertainment by coaxing my kids to say things that I know they can't pronounce properly. Like "fork" and "clock". And, occasionally I use baking soda and vinegar to clear the clog in the bathroom sink.

How lame is that!?

Don't answer that.

I think you get the point. I can't just repot a plant. I have to repot it awesomely.

I've done the macramé and orchid terrariums. Eww, those are so last week.

This time, it's going to be fantastic!

First, I acquired a moss ball. I could have made one out of moss in my yard, but I just bought it. Then I poked a hole in it and filled it with potting soil.





I tied a piece of sting around it just in case.

Then I rescued a small plant from the ferocious Tiger. (She's so cute!)





And shoved the plant into the dirt filled moss ball.


Then I tried to water the moss ball. F.Y.I. Rolling balls of wet dirt make huge messes. I stuck the rolling dirty mess into a bowl to keep it still (and to keep it from dripping everywhere) then shoved the whole thing into a big hanging wire thingy.




Ta! Da! Pretty cool, huh?

Yeah, I'm pretty proud of myself. Although, technically, now the plant takes up dramatically more space than it did before. And, I takes up way more space than it would have if I had just put it in a bigger pot. So I didn't really make my plant/space issue any better. But, I did combine three things into one thing so that's a plus. Right?

Well, that's all I've got for now.

Later.
