The dumpster Calathea roseopicta jettisoned its last damaged leaf, and I'm eagerly awaiting the day these new leaves are large enough to unfurl. I'm half expecting to wake up one morning and see a new leaf hanging out.
Attention! The dumpster Calathea roseopicta is doing the tubey thing with a few of its shoots, and they've developed a pink color. I think I'll have some shiny new leaves soon!
Dumpster Calathea roseopicta has decided to pull its energy out of its remaining leaves -- it's down to one now. It has around nine shoots coming up from its base and is putting a lot of work into some new leaves. :)
I pruned the second-best long vine off my #Pothos because it was getting too unwieldy. It clocked in at over 100 inches, almost the entire length of my measuring tape, even without me stretching it out straight. I cut it into segments and I'm rooting them so I can have, uh.... more pothos... hopefully to give away...
Time for another semi-regular update on the Dumpster Calathea roseopicta.
Big leaves are holding steady, and it now has two new shoots! I've been watering it once a week but I think it might want slightly more often than that, so I'll be keeping a close eye on it as a heatwave hits next week.
Going through a bin of my grandma's stuff that was labelled "art supplies"
And finally, some actual art supplies.
— Pastels (a greys set and a rainbow set) that are still perfectly useable
— A sumi ink set; the stone is fine, I need to see if I can revive the brush and also get some ink
— A set of acrylic paints, the metal tubes of which disintegrated when I tried squeezing them
— An oil paint set, which might be okay, but I have no way of telling and don't know how to revive them, so I'm hanging on to them until I'm sure
— A watercolor set that looks fine
— A set of poster paints, which appear to have turned to chunks in their jars; idk if it's possible to save them
Some of these were in nice wooden boxes that I'm going to clean up, and I appreciate advice on restoring the art supplies themselves! I haven't worked with any of these media.

There were also a few big envelopes with art prints that never got hung up anywhere.
