I discovered the world of plant propagation a while ago. Spring is a good time to plant, re-pot, and surely, propagate. I was busying myself potting a newly purchased Pothos plant few weeks ago, only to discover it was infested with some insects. I panicked not knowing whether it's a normal thing or not. In that very moment I cursed my mother. I remember saying in my head passages that would do for a blog post. "This week, I cursed you twice my mother. First time for never growing plants, and the second time for never showing me how to grown plants, let alone deal with such a plant growing problem as bug infestation. This blog post isn't about plants, or bugs. It's about a very deeply rooted issue, with the mother in my life, and my mother. More on that soon." And then I brushed the thought away. I googled the problem and it turned out to be a more or less common thing. I didn't read about the treating the problem part, hands were busy and dirty, I followed my instinct instead, cleared the plant totally from the old soil, took away all the bugs, and seperated it into several different parts. I divided it in two pots. I used a healthy new mix of soil, cleaned the leaves, watered it, and put it in a nice bright area. The next morning it looked very green and happy, and new baby leaves started to sprout very shortly after.
More about propagating later, I'm feeling very dizzy and tired, nothing new these days. But I will post what the dictionary define propagation:
"noun: propagation
- 1.the breeding of specimens of a plant or animal by natural processes from the parent stock."the propagation of plants by root cuttings"
- 2.the action of widely spreading and promoting an idea, theory, etc."a life devoted to the propagation of the Catholic faith"
- 3.transmission of motion, light, sound, etc. in a particular direction or through a medium."the propagation of radio waves through space"
- 1. نشر
