TIMELINE

Jan 30/19: Spider Plant 002 joins our family! I received this plant from a workshop with Darryl Cheng at the Onsite Gallery. This plant wasn’t as well protected when I carried it home in the bitter cold, so there was some frostbite damage to the leaves. I wish I had taken a photo, but I honestly didn’t think it would survive.

Jun 9/20: It’s time for Spider Plant 002 to move into a bigger pot. I untangled the roots as best I could and planted it into some fresh potting soil.

Jul 9/20: Spider Plant 002 gets its first haircut. I’d never pruned my plants before so this was quite terrifying, but it felt good to remove the damaged leaves. Look at the difference!
