Updates from Gasmstan*

In Updates on 4 April 2011 tagged Amaryllis, Dracaena, Seeds

Just a couple updates on Plantgasm projects.

In February I wrote The Story of My Dracaena fragrans, which culminated in (spoiler alert) me chopping him down for a second time. This time I made many cuttings and planted them in a variety of media. The cuttings in soil haven’t budged yet, but the ones in water are already sprouting. Fred lives!

In January, I wrote Let Your Amaryllis Seed and attempted to fertilize my big red Amaryllis. It didn’t work. But I tried again with The Magnificent and Surprising Amaryllis Chico and it worked! Today the pods exploded with seeds.

* I sincerely apologize for coining the word “gasmstan” which is not any better than the previously used “gasmsphere” or “gasmland” and promise never to use it again. Probably.
