Not sure the poinsettia likes the office....but there are new leaf buds starting in all the nodes, so maybe salvageable.

A mostly dead red poinsettia in a gold foil wrapper. Not looking festive for the holidays.

Bonus plant! No idea what this little sprout is (other than 'not pothos') or how it got in there with my silver satin cutting, but I'm interested to see what happens!

Had a day off, and Justin @shoutingcrow.bsky.social suggested we pop into the local glass shop, who talked us into a drop-in glass ornament class. Can't wait til this baby is baked so I can see how it turned out! Super fun impromptu date ❤️

More plants! Cutting from a monstera- my office is starting to look very tropical. This cutting is about 6 or 8 weeks old, now, and has robust roots. Almost time to pot and rehome it!

Large monstera cutting with three shiny green leaves. The cutting is in a large glass vase of water, with roots partially filling it.

My little snippings are growing into rooty-bois!

Global Green and Lemon Meringue pothos cuttings, about 2 weeks old.

Couple more weeks, and we'll get 'em in dirt.

Sometimes life is hard because bad things happen, circumstances are challenging, etc
Sometimes, it's because you are dumb
Exhibit A - a bottle of soap we've been complaining about for 3 weeks, because it dispenses poorly. Took the lid off to rinse today... it was still sealed.
A now-empty bottle of dishsoap with the under-lid seal still in place because two grown adults did not think to check for obstructions when the soap flow was poor. Clearly the cause was a lack of muscles...
