Received a Fishbone Plant

 

Todayś mail brought a Fishbone Plant ordered from wishlistplant on Etsy. It was beautifully and safely packaged in a three inch pot and included a full page of descriptive information and instructions. Suppliers dont usually provide this, so it was greatly appreciated.


Wishlistplant cautioned me not to repot this baby for two full weeks--which is another piece of advice usually not provided by suppliers. Travelling is shocking to plants. Imagine that you´ve lived happily in a greenhouse for your entire life, and then suddenly you´re grabbed up, shoved into a tiny, dark and airless box (helllllpppppppp!!!), and bounced around in trucks and airplanes for days or even weeks. When you finally see daylight again, you would definitely need some time to settle down, recharge, re-acclimate, find your zen.

I added the Fishbone Plant into Planta, my mobile app, putting her in the bedroom on the plant stand, about four feet from the window. Wishlistplant advised that she prefers bright, indirect light but will survive in low light. I bought her for her low light survival abilities but won´t move her to low light until sheś well established.
