Hi Everyone!
Welcome back to Green Pets, the house plant series on this blog where I talk about my house plants and just house plants in general too. It was my birthday recently and I (you guessed it!) got a new houseplant!

Meet Agatha!! |
This one was gifted by a very dear friend of mine, and for my birthday we
visited Agatha Christie's holiday house in Devon together, so Agatha seemed a
very fitting name!!
She is a hanging plant, which I love, and I've done a bit of research on how to best care for her.
There are some very clear signs of when she needs water. The main one is when the "beads" shrivel up or turn yellow. I'm still working out a watering schedule that works for her. I know that I shouldn't water her until the soil is dry again and when you do water her, it has to be a good soak.
Light-wise, she needs a fair amount. Luckily, my room is very bright, so I don't think I will have a problem with that side of things, once I decide where to put her up.
I have heard that the pot shouldn't be too big, otherwise, the plant won't look so good when it starts to fall and hang. I can't wait for her to grow properly!

TOP TIP:
To make the plant look fuller in the pot, I am going to trim the ends of the
hanging parts and plant them back in the top as cuttings. This should only be
done when the plant is very long and will help it look bigger and fill the pot
better. I don't know how well it will work in practice but I hope it will make
her look even more fabulous than she already does!!
I now have a whole notion page for my house plants, and I highly recommend
doing this if you want to be able to keep track of your plants!! If you don't
know, notion is an online organisation platform where you can make pages with
tables and databases, insert images and collaborate on pages with friends too.
It's been so helpful with my green pets!
