Indoor Update

I finally got around to elevating some of my plants in my bedroom plant corner.
Going clockwise: My monster plant has grown a few leaves during the summer. I think I'll prune it next year... it's getting too leggy and floppy. I propagated that snake plant a couple of years ago and it's sprouted so many baby shoots. The paper whites finally bloomed and I hate the smell...  and finally, sun coleus in water! 



I got cut this dusty miller plant and put it inside in water. Surprisingly it started to root. It reminds me a little of lambs ears. 



My pothos plant is growing well. I've infiltrated sun coleus cuttings in the center to give it a little more color.  I wanted the sun coleus to grow indoors until I can put them back out for the spring again.

Amaryllis

This year I decided I wanted to force bulb indoors so I bought some paper whites and red amaryllis. The amaryllis was such a beauty when it bloomed. It only took about 4 weeks!

Forcing bulbs




Took this image a three weeks ago. 
I began forcing paper whites indoors and the things that nature does is beautiful. 

I also forced amaryllis which has bloomed, only four weeks in! Photos of that soon.
