During my most recent visit at my parents I was quite unpleasantly surprised by what I found. Their plant was over twice as big as mine. My plant reaches around 21 cm in the air, and my parents plant has exceeded my expectations by reaching almost 43 cm in the air. It is over twice as large! Aargh!

But there is also good news. My plant and my families plant just got company. Imported from the Far East (NL) a new plant has been added to my balcony. It is another type but I expect fun and happiness in encouraging it to grow.

Yesterday I did it. My plant was moved from my window sill to my balcony, because the smell began to be noticeable every now and then.

This afternoon I’ll go and check to see how my father’s plant is doing. I had already noticed that it was doing much better than mine. Her trunk was already twice as thick, it is full time in the greenhouse in the heat, and she has a huge(!) large pot with soil. This can only result in unbeatable enormity.

The two plants have gone their separate ways. One was a gift for my father for his birthday and the other has been re-potted and is now in a nice white pot in my window in full sun (when it shines).

The plant is already one week old, and it looks like the purchase, transport and re-potting were survived without problems. I am planning to post occasional updates covering the entire plant history to this blog. From growing up to my efforts to sell after the harvest :-p. I wonder what will be the outcome.

New this weekend. I got two little plants and I was in luck because they were the last two. This will be a nice test for my green fingers.

Note:
In holland it is perfectly legal to have up to five plants.
