This Old Porch

Those boards have heard many a tale. I have sat here, cried here, said goodbye here. On that porch we all stood looking up at that gigantic full moon, ringed with a golden halo, the night Mom died.

Too much light can trigger more green, but too little and can lose the pink. Each variety is a bit different. Welcome to my wee jungle. North window light, supplemented by a couple grow lights. Fred the Ficus is happy for the company, barely lost a leaf this winter. #plantsinwinter #ficusbenjamina #plantsmakemehappy #happyplanthappylife #junglevibes This is Fred #ficusbenjamina junior, growing in #LECA since last summer. Really seems to like the medium. I don't give him hydro nutes, just a schultz+marphyl mix in tap water, which i add to rainwater. ♥️
