Potting Plants

Excitement filled the air as me and the littles made our way to the neighborhood plant shop. What plants would we find? Would they be big? Would they be small? What colors would the be? We chatted and laughed as we made our way to the front door!

We looked around and found just the right plant to pot and take home. Each child had the opportunity to choose exactly which plant caught their eye. After finding our plant, we all took a seat to learn how to pot our new little plant. The plant lady behind the counter was so sweet to gently guide us through the process. When we were done, she told us about plant care and how we can propagate them. We had so much fun!

Things got messy! Dirt flew everywhere! The littles enjoyed getting their hands dirty as we practiced potting our plants.

After potting our plants, we gave them names: Sean, Sparkles, and Plant! The littles loved naming their little plants and finding the perfect spot to place them.

After several weeks and a whole lot of water, we learned that over hydrating our plants is a possibility. These little guys were having a hard time, so we propagated them! We learned from our trip to the plant shop, to pull healthy petals and replant them (propagate). We had so much fun extending this lesson into our own little propagation garden!
