Spider Plant

 I was very shocked to see how much roots my Spider Plant had.  It was all roots in that pot.   Any longer in there and it would of  suffocated, haha.   It isn't a big plant, the root system is like the same size as the plant.    It is really happy to have a bigger pot, in the days after I transplanted you could really see the difference in it.  It is standing up more ( as much as a Spider Plant can), and just seems happier.

Lemon Tree

My Lemon Tree disappointed me, I thought there would be more roots by now.  However I haven't really read into Lemon Trees to see if they are rooty trees. maybe that is how it is supposed to be.   I ended up putting it in a smaller pot because it seemed like so much of the soil wasn't being use.    The Tree looks healthy and has been growing steadily.  We will see how it does inside for the Winter, but being in AZ its not like we have really cold Winters, and a many Lemons Trees grow just fine here.  I think this is the last year I baby it. I will take it out during the day so it gets enough light.

  

Went to HomeDepot

Well I finally went to Home Depot and got some new pots and soil, I am real late on blogging about it since I went on Nov 9,  and its early Feb. 

I spent about $34, I got a big 32 QT bag of Miracle Gro (the good stuff with moisture control), one 12" pot and two 8" pots.  No Terra Cotta  pots this trip. I had looked at them but just couldn't bring myself to buy one.

 I got to work right away, transplanting the ones that needed bigger (or smaller) pots and refreshing soil in others.    Since I got such a big bag I thought why I better get busy before I waste another bag of soil.
