As are these Anthuriums.
But then I try to transplant them into individual pots and something always seems to go wrong...
Do I water too much, too little? Am I cursed?
But I keep trying.
These are Eucomis seedlings. I bought a plant last in the summer for $5 and decided, what the heck. I'll try the seeds.
But hope spring eternal in the heart of the not-so-young gardener and I also gathered seeds from an unidentified annual (possibly an Amaranthus of some kind. I just haven't found a picture that quite matches -and the closest one I found was just labeled Amaranth).
I guess I'll keep trying but I'm much better at reproducing plants from cuttings!
Here is my annual winter propagation of Cuban Oregano. This is a plant I've had for years but it gets very leggy so I take cuttings during the winter every year to restart the plant.
And I have a few other plants that I have re-started when they get too leggy or too big.
And then, HERE is my pride and joy (as far as plants I have reproduced). I started this plant after I noticed a leaf in the hallway of my apartment building when I was in grad school. I walked past the leaf a couple of times before I picked it up and put it in soil - it was on the ground at least 24 hours before I "rescued" it.
I just don't understand how I am so good at reproducing plants from cuttings but so bad at starting seeds.
At least I can order already started plants of most things I want. Except for Tithonia. I have a hard time finding that as a plant....
