It appears to have tripled in height, and I can see additional shoots emerging from the bulb. I&#8217;m glad I didn&#8217;t give up and throw the whole thing out.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes it is difficult to remember that plants are individuals, and no two are exactly alike. Although I have grown amaryllis bulbs in the past, this one had its own timetable. Each bulb is unique; each has its own schedule of growth. What made this one struggle along and then suddenly flourish? I will never know the answer to that question. I&#8217;d like to think I am smart enough to guess. \u00a0Perhaps Whitey&#8217;s biting and tugging at the bulb when it was only a few days planted in the pot damaged emerging roots and set it back. Perhaps it didn&#8217;t like being moved from the bright office to the subtle light of the plant room. Perhaps it loves the classical music I play in the plant room. \u00a0It&#8217;s a mystery, and I think that is one of the reasons why I love growing plants so much. \u00a0Unlike animals, whose behavior we can often extrapolate based on our knowledge of instincts, drives and other forces, plants still hold their own secrets.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"http:\/\/homegardenjoy.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/African-violet-cutting-in-a-wine-glass.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/homegardenjoy.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/African-violet-cutting-in-a-wine-glass-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"266\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>This weekend, I took some time to replant several African violets that had grown pot-bound. Some needed to be divided. I took cuttings of several of my favorites and re-purposed old wine glasses (see above) to root them. I just use water and place a bit of foil over the top. The cuttings rest in the water, and should grow roots in a few weeks. By then, I&#8217;ll have the grow lights set up in the basement for seed starting, and I can nurture the little plants along for either my plant room or the Master Gardener plant sale in May. \u00a0It will depend on how well they grow. If they&#8217;re really nice, I&#8217;ll donate them to the plant sale.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"http:\/\/homegardenjoy.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/African-Violet-burgundy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/homegardenjoy.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/African-Violet-burgundy-300x227.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"302\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>One of the cuttings I&#8217;m starting is from this beauty.

I dusted the book shelves, straightened out the books, and replaced the candles near my reading chair. I love scented candles and often light one while I&#8217;m snuggled into my old club chair, reading at the end of a long day. I also hung up several decorations. In each window I have two suncatchers, either stained glass or crystals. Now in one window I have two of these hand-beaded snowflakes. My sister Ann makes them and sells them as Christmas ornaments. \u00a0She sent me this one as a Christmas present, but it&#8217;s so beautiful, I keep it hanging up year-round.<\/p>\n<p>The plants are snuggled in new pots, dead leaves trimmed, cuttings taken. \u00a0It was nice to enjoy my house plants for a while, and I made notes on the new violets, orchids and jasmine I want to get in 2014.
