You can see in the foreground, that the first new leaf had grown to its full size. Before it reached this size, there was a second, a mate to this one. However, it was too weak, and fell off. I have noticed that this plant grows new leaves in pairs. When the mate of this one fell off, I was so scared I was going to lose the whole plant again. After the surviving leaf had reached its full size, I noticed there was a new stem growing...in the back! This was so exciting! I hoped so deeply the plant would survive.
Did you know that change is not only hard for humans, but it is also hard for plants? Change for the Porcelain Flower plant is deathly. This blog is the story of my Porcelain Flower plant. Its story of perseverance, strength, and rebirth after moving 2,300 miles from its home. The plant which started as a parting gift, has become an inspiration for my everyday life. Join me in celebrating its beautiful comeback story.
