just as a journal entry for my dorm room plants: they're doing okay. some brown, crust edges (from winter break babysitting - they were not under my care), spider mites (aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrggggg! spider mites! I've never had to deal with them before), and some weird discolorations, but everything is surviving okay in the RPI dorms (surprisingly).
I'm also trying to edit my sad-looking cellphone camera pictures in photoshop, but I suck at it, so bear with me if they look, well, strange.
my windowsill. left to right: geranium (magenta; hasn't bloomed in a while; getting crusty), a couple of calla lilies (just about a month and a half since I planted them), and a gardenia (spider mites, looking a bit pale at the edges). so far, okay; at least they're still alive...
a peek at a corner of my desk. a small pothos, and a small dumbcane, still somewhat shy in coloration, unlike the pothos next to it. two small pots to the right are garlic chives and a small calla lily (just planted)
a syngonium peeking out from my desk. (it's getting kinda tall)
a look at my pegboard wall (the awesomest wall for dorm rooms IMHO) and a monstera that is a tad too shy to start splitting its leaves. it's been through a lot, especially when I wasn't around: it lost a couple of leaves during winter break, and so I'm trying to nurture it back to health.
a snake plant in a paper cup. now that's dorm room gardening.hopefully they'll all be alright. I've been spending lots of nights at the union lately, and spring break is coming up fast, so I won't always be there to take care of them.
but yay! they're alive!
