Hi everyone! 🌱
It's time for another update on our plants friends in the mini greenhouse! But first, a little tidbit about my workweek: on Fridays, I’m officially off (well, “off”). I’m taking a branding course in Amsterdam. It’s super fun and educational, but it also means I’m not around to take care of our plants. Fortunately, I have amazing colleagues who lovingly take over for me! 💚
Growth over the weekend 🌿
When my workweek began on Monday, my colleague excitedly came up to me. The plants had all grown at least a centimeter over the weekend! And that’s pretty impressive, considering the sun hasn’t really made an appearance in the Netherlands lately. The watercress, in particular, is a real growth champion – it’s already three centimeters tall! 🌱
It’s so fascinating to see how quickly nature works. From tiny seeds to little sprouts in such a short time! It’s incredibly rewarding to follow this process and know that just a little care and attention can make such a big difference.
A plants explosion! 🌱
And then, after the last few weeks, something remarkable happened… The plants have been growing so fast! They’re literally bursting out of their pots, and our mini greenhouse has simply become too small for all that greenery. It’s amazing to see, but it also meant we had to take action.
So, we decided to repot the plants – with the necessary care and attention, of course! This time, we used the handy grow pots and a specially blended soil mix. This combination ensures the roots have plenty of space to spread out, and that the plants get everything they need to keep growing. And the best part? The grow pots are perfect for these young plants because they allow for good airflow around the roots. So, we’re expecting them to develop really well here! 🌿
Tips for setting up your mini greenhouse 🌞
Want to get started with your own mini greenhouse? Here are a few handy tips:
- Place the greenhouse in a warm spot, but not directly in full sunlight.
- Make sure it gets plenty of daylight, but avoid extreme heat.
- Don’t water too much – a little twice a week is enough.
- Thanks to condensation inside the greenhouse, the humidity remains high, so don’t worry if it seems a bit misty inside.
We can’t wait to see how our plants continue to grow in the coming weeks. It really feels like we’re on our way to creating a oasis! 🌿🌱
