Progress on Growing Things

We came back from vacation to see that the plants I've had growing in the back window are really taking off. My sword fern, which is technically an invasive species (but a pretty one and easy to get rid of) is trying to grow out of the sides of the pot.

I have two Mother Ferns, which sprout little fernlets on their leaves when they are mature. You can pinch off those little fernlets and plant them, which is in fact how I got my two Mother Fern babies. They are doing very well: they've doubled in size over the last few months, since I changed the soil they were planted in. They do seem to prefer a rich mixture to a seed-starting medium.

And here's the callistemon I've been rooting; of the three cuttings, two have taken, although they are sort of slow to grow right now (not surprising; it is winter). I have no idea where I will plant them, but I'm sure somewhere will turn up.

(You can see these plants several months ago here.)
