Hi Everyone!
As you can tell by the title of this post, I got a new houseplant! It was a
Christmas present but I chose it in a really sweet plant shop near me. It is
called a Mind Your Own Business, in more technical terms a Soleirolia. It's
latin name is Soleirolia soleirolii.

I named it Mr Darcy because I love Pride and Prejudice and I thought it
appropriate!
It needs to have constantly moist soil and has to be watered by being put in a
bowl of water, rather than with a jug. This is because it will get a hole
where the water has gone down as it is quite delicate and the leaves are very
fine.
It's important to look up how much water your house plant needs and get tips
from experts to help your plant to thrive. I talked to the lady in the shop
when we were buying it and she told me about how to look after it.
It is joining my two other house plants, Bronausten and Vera which you can
learn more about
here. If you do click on the link, you will see that there is a photo of Vera and
I mentioned that she has grown a lot. Well, she's grown a lot since then too
so I thought I would share an updated photo of her!

This is how many shoots she now has! |
She's so big that I've had to get her a new pot. That just gives me an excuse
to get another house plant to fill the beautiful pot she has now vacated! When
I do get another one I will definitely share it with you all.
I hope you've enjoyed this update on how my plant family is doing and we'll be
back soon!
