Sansevieria surprise
May. 9th, 2012 04:14 pmI left my big sansevieria out in the back house over the winter and it died. However, one of the leaves dried up toward the roots but was still green and solid in the middle in that curious undead way sansevieria leaves have. So I cut a couple of slices and stuck them into potting soil. Unfortunately, I couldn't remember which ends were up (it makes a difference when you're rooting sansevieria, apparently). But I stuck them in and hoped for the best.
Earlier today I knocked over the pot. Blast and damn. I picked up the cuttings and one of them has two fairly robust roots on it. If it's not the worse for wear after its tumble out of the pot, I may get a replacement plant out of this. Pretty cool -- the original plant was a piece of plant larceny I committed in a Sarasota FL parking lot in 2000. The plant bloomed like a madman. Every year. I don't imagine I'll be seeing bloom from Son of Sarasota for a couple of years, though.
While cleaning my office, I found a nest of bank statements and cancelled checks from the late 1990s, including one for a significant amount that I'd written to Roy. I don't remember why I did it but I was clearly disgruntled because the memo line says "Blood from a turnip."
