Pineapple sage

Since last fall, I have had Pineapple Sage cuttings growing in a vase of water - so - today - I transplanted them all - the leaves are very faded and pale from lack of nutrient so hopefully the rich moisture soil will help them grown and flower. I have at least 6 pots of this wonderfully fragrant herb.

Neglect in the greenhouse!

I am sad to say I have been neglecting my plants of late - life has been too busy - the plants are surviving - but - I have overgrown, pot bound plants and noticed some whitefly - so I have to concentrate on TLC for them.
I misted a flowering kalanchoe as it had whitefly - it was falling out of the pot - some of the branches broke off - they appear to have roots on the stems - so I will pot them and see what happens.
I cut out some dead parts of one church fern and hope it will revive with a little new earth and a good drink.
Hopefully - on the weekend, I will get to play in the dirt.
