Plantgasm - I love plants too much. By Derek Powazek.

Updates from Gasmstan*

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.

this is awesome news for me! My dracaena is taller than I, but not hitting the ceiling yet… I can’t wait for mine to bloom (hopefully that’s a possibility in Toronto)
