Trans planting

have you transplanted your plants yet? it's better to have a container that is tall enough to support them and big enough for the roots to grow. also, get one that has a drain (with a tray underneath) so not too much h20 gets in and drowns your roots...

So I finally got around to transplanting the plant that looks alive still. I'm using an Umbra Orvino can.

It was late when I transplanting this. About midnight.  Will see how things go tomorrow.

Car washing!

I took my plants outside to help me wash my car and show their support. I gave them some soil and Miracle Gro with the help of my landlady.

Dr. Masaru Emoto super stylee

My next step is to get some labels for my plants.

I got the idea from my sister in Van, who told me about the infamous rice experiment

Positive Thinking Power - The Rice Experiment

More Evidence From Dr Masaru Emoto On The Power Of Thoughts

Most people agree that positive thinking has power. But just how much power is debatable. Masaru Emoto, a researcher and alternative healer from Japan has given the world a good deal of evidence of the magic of positive thinking.
You may have heard of Dr Emoto. He became famous when his water molecule experiments featured in the 2004 film, What The Bleep Do We Know?
His experiments demonstrate that human thoughts and intentions can alter physical reality, in this case the molecular structure of water. Given that humans are comprised of at least 60% water, his discovery has far reaching implications... can anyone really afford to have negative thoughts or intentions?

Positive Thinking Power: Dr Emoto's Rice Experiment

The rice experiment is another famous Emoto demonstration of the power of negative thinking (and conversely, the power of positive thinking.) In this experiment, Dr Emoto placed portions of cooked rice into two containers. On one container he wrote "thank you" and on the other "you fool". He then instructed school children to say the labels on the jars out loud everyday when they passed them by. Aftr 30 days, the rice in the container with positive thoughts had barely changed, while the other was moldy and rotten.
If you have any doubt in the validity of this test, try it at home for yourself. Be sure to spend at least 30 seconds, twice a day consciously intending negative thoughts or positive thoughts at the respective containers of rice. And make sure you use cooked rice, as its water content is what produces the results.
If you don't want to do it at home but you're curious to see positive thinking power in action, watch this video from youtube documenting one person's experience at trying it:

The Arrival

First I took my first serious plants downtown to jiu jitsu...

"arrival bag"

next stop,

My place!! :)

next step is to get some better looking Umbra mini cans and some labels so I can emoto rice stylee them.

Explanation

My friend Cat, the grrl with the tats, she's gonna give me a plant (or two). She says I'm gonna kill it. So I'm gonna prove her wrong.  It's gonna get so big they're going to have to name a new species after it!!! GIGANTUS MAXIMUS PLANTUS.  (must spell in all caps)

My first serious plant. Never had one of those. Like a serious girlfriend, never had one of those either, I hope those girls don't find out I was lying....(it's ok they left me anyways)

I'm gonna bring the plant with me to places and take pictures. Because it's my first serious plant and should be a part of my life.

Since I'm in a basement apartment, I have to put it in my window sill. Pictured below.
