Replanting

Swe-cha's school is closed for Yom Kippur today so I took the day off so I could stay home and take care of him (we're also going to get flu shots later too, shhh! don't tell swe-cha).

Seeing as how it's a nice day outside - high 60s and cloudy (we don't like staying under the scorching sun) - I decided to give Swe-cha some lessons in gardening.

We took down the Spider Plant (also called Ribbon plant) from Tita A and started propagating its babies.

Swe-cha helped me put soil in the small pots, water them and pat the soil down. He was more interested in scooping the potting mix & the watering part rather than the plants but every now and then (as I type this), I see him walking back to that small table to look at the plants.

Hopefully, these little babies take root quickly so I can cut them off from the stalk that connects them to the mother plant and we can bring them back in before it gets really chilly outside.

If anybody in my area wants spider plants, give me a holler :)

Edit: Okaaaay. Seems like Swe-cha is TOO interested in the plants. He keeps going back and check on them and in doing so, he pulls them out of the pot. These plants are so NOT taking root today.
