Puutarhajutuista olen kirjoitellut viime vuosina paljonkin, mutta huonekasveista en varmaan kertaakaan. Siihen on melko simppeli syy. Minulla ei ole ollut viherkasveja 20 vuoteen. Tai no siis joo… onhan niit\u00e4 ollut, jotain harvoja yksitt\u00e4isi\u00e4 silloin t\u00e4ll\u00f6in, mutta olen onnistunut tappamaan ne kaikki noin puolessa vuodessa. En ole sill\u00e4 saralla ollut oikein koskaan mik\u00e4\u00e4n \u00e4lytt\u00f6m\u00e4n hyv\u00e4 viherpeukalo sill\u00e4 ne vaativat paljon vaivaa, valoa, oikea-aikaista kastelua ja sen sellaista h\u00f6ss\u00f6tyst\u00e4. Ulkokasvit ovat paljon helpompia, v\u00e4h\u00e4n semmoisia pese-ja-pid\u00e4-tyyppisi\u00e4 juttuja. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muutama vuosi sitten p\u00e4\u00e4tin ett\u00e4 kyll\u00e4 t\u00e4m\u00e4n kasvien tappamisen nyt pit\u00e4\u00e4 loppua. P\u00e4\u00e4tin ihan tosissani yritt\u00e4\u00e4 pit\u00e4\u00e4 muutamaa helppoa kasvia hengiss\u00e4. Sanotaanko niin ett\u00e4 ei se mennyt ihan suunnitelmien mukaan. Sain jostakin pistokkaat r\u00f6nsyliljasta ja kultak\u00f6ynn\u00f6ksest\u00e4 ja my\u00f6hemmin herttak\u00f6ynn\u00f6svehkasta ja kiinanruususta. \u00c4idilt\u00e4ni sain pistokkaan pikkuposliinikukasta. Kiinanruusu ja posliinikukka kuivuivat juurrutusvaiheessa vesilasiin kun en saanut aikaiseksi ruukuttaa niit\u00e4 tai lis\u00e4t\u00e4 vett\u00e4. Kultak\u00f6ynn\u00f6s kuoli toissatalvena pimeyteen ja liikaan kasteluun. Samana talvena taistelun h\u00e4visi rahapuu jonka olin onnistunut pit\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4n hengiss\u00e4 jo muutaman vuoden. Toissatalvi vain oli todella todella pime\u00e4 enk\u00e4 saanut aikaiseksi hommata kasvivaloa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mutta j\u00e4stip\u00e4\u00e4 ei lannistu. Viimetalvesta jotenkuten selvisiv\u00e4t r\u00f6nsylilja ja herttak\u00f6ynn\u00f6svehka, sek\u00e4 viimetalvena ostamani herttak\u00f6ynn\u00f6s. Etenkin r\u00f6nsylinja oli kyll\u00e4 niin surkeana ett\u00e4 olin varma ett\u00e4 on sen menoa. Kasvivaloahan minulla ei edelleenk\u00e4\u00e4n ollut. Kev\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4 istutin kummankin uudelleen ja vein ne etel\u00e4ikkunalle kuistille. Alkukev\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4 ostin anopinkielen jakotaimia jotka meniv\u00e4t ruukkuun jotenkin omituisesti koska yksi niist\u00e4 tahtoo kaatua jatkuvasti. Kesemm\u00e4ll\u00e4 l\u00f6ysin viel\u00e4 paikalliselta rompetorilta erilaisia juorujen pistokkaita. Kaikki n\u00e4m\u00e4 p\u00e4\u00e4siv\u00e4t valoisalle kuistille paistattelemaan kes\u00e4\u00e4. Ja alkusyksyst\u00e4 sain viel\u00e4 kaverilta jonkinlaisen korallikaktuksen pistokkaita.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sitten tuli syksy ja v\u00e4h\u00e4n niinkuin unohdin ett\u00e4 kasvit pit\u00e4isi my\u00f6s tuoda kuistilta sis\u00e4lle kun ilmat alkavat viilet\u00e4. Toinkin ne sitten sis\u00e4lle jossain vaiheessa, mutta korallikaktus ja pari juorua olivat jo ottaneet v\u00e4h\u00e4n osumaa viile\u00e4st\u00e4 kelist\u00e4. Vaan mit\u00e4 tekee r\u00f6nsylilja! Kes\u00e4ll\u00e4 se n\u00e4ytti ett\u00e4 ei siit\u00e4 oikein mit\u00e4\u00e4n tule, ei se kuollut mutta ei oikein kasvanutkaan. Jurnutti vain. No mutta nyt kun toin sen sis\u00e4lle se on vallan innostunut. Uusia lehti\u00e4 on tullut lis\u00e4\u00e4 ja se on tehnyt kaksi kukkavanaa. Aivan k\u00e4sitt\u00e4m\u00e4t\u00f6nt\u00e4! En ole saanut r\u00f6nsyliljaa kukkimaan yli 20 vuoteen. Ehk\u00e4 viherkasvionneni nyt vihdoin k\u00e4\u00e4ntyy. Kaikki ovat viel\u00e4 hengiss\u00e4 vaikka juorut ja kaktus ovatkin t\u00e4ll\u00e4 hetkell\u00e4 viel\u00e4 v\u00e4h\u00e4n heikkokuntoiset. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kissojen vuoksi joudun v\u00e4h\u00e4n miettim\u00e4\u00e4n ett\u00e4 minne kasvit sijoitetaan. Nyx ei v\u00e4lit\u00e4 kasveista eik\u00e4 niit\u00e4 sy\u00f6, mutta nuo kolme tuholaista kyll\u00e4 j\u00e4rsisiv\u00e4t niit\u00e4 mieluusti. Ikkunapaikkoja on rajoitetusti joten p\u00e4\u00e4tin tehd\u00e4 yhdest\u00e4 amppelistani kaksikerroksisen. Makrameiden nyt ollessa viel\u00e4 kuuminta hottia en ole itse yht\u00e4\u00e4n innostunut tekem\u00e4\u00e4n niit\u00e4, vaikka kukka-amppeleina ne toimivat erinomaisesti. Oli miten oli, amppeliin piti mahduttaa kaksi ruukkua joten p\u00e4\u00e4tin solmeilla siihen toisen tasanteen. Ostin sopivanv\u00e4rist\u00e4 puuvillalankaa ja solmin ihan perussolmuilla ristikon ja sivutuet amppelin yl\u00e4osaan. Eih\u00e4n tuo nyt yht\u00e4 n\u00e4tti ole kuin alkuper\u00e4inen, mutta ajanee asiansa ja sinneh\u00e4n se suurimmaksi osaksi j\u00e4\u00e4 kukkapurkin alle piiloon. <\/p>\n\n\n

I have written quite a bit about gardening in recent years, but probably nothing about house plants. There is very simple reason for that. I haven’t had any house plants for 20 years. Well, yeah, I have… but very occasionally one, or two, because I always manage to kill them in about 6 months. I have never been very good at it, because they require lot of effort, light, correct watering and all that jazz. Garden plants are much more easy, kind of plug-and-play-type of things. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Couple of years ago I decided that the killing of plants must end. I really truly decided to try and keep them alive longer. Let’s just say it didn’t go according to plan. I got some cuttings from spider plant and ivy arum and later on I got chinese hibiscus and heartleaf philodendron. From mum I got hoya bella. Hibiscus and hoya died while still making roots in water glass. I forgot to add water\/plant them. Ivy arum died winter before last, because it was too dark for it and I think I over-watered it too. In same winter the battle was lost for crassula ovata, which I had managed to keep alive for couple of years. That winter was just so so dark and I didn’t get around buying a light for plants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But stubborn doesn’t give in. Last winter was also tough but somehow the spider plant and hearleaf philodendron survived. Also string-of-hearts, which I bought summer before, survived. Especially spider plant wasn’t looking too good. I still didn’t have the plant light. In the spring I planted both again, and took them to the very sunny lobby. Early spring I also bough mother-in-law’s tongue. For some reason they don’t seem to like standing up, but one of them keeps tilting over. During summer I also found some tradescantia. Everything went on to the lobby to catch proper sun. Early Autumn my friend also gave me some sort of coral cactus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then the autumn came and I sort of low-key forgot the plants in the lobby. I didn’t remember to bring them back in as soon as the weather turned cold. At some point I did, but cactus and tradescantia had already got some damage of the cold air. But what does the spider plant do! In the summer it looked like it’s not either dieing nor growing. But when I brought it in, it got excited. It’s grown new leaves and done two flower stems already.Unbelievable! I haven’t managed to make spider plant to bloom for over 20 years. Perhaps my house plant luck is turning now. They are all still alive, even though cactus and couple others are not in the best of condition right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to cats I always have to think where I am putting each flower. Nyx doesn’t care much about the plants, but the triplets will eat them. I have limited space for flowers at windows, so I decided to make one of my hanging basket a double-decker. Macrame is still hot trend, but I’m not really into making them. It works estremely well on hanging baskets though. Anyways, I had to put two flower pots into one hanging basket, so I needed to make another basket onto the bottom one. I bought matching cotton yarn and created second basket with basic knot. It’s not pretty, but it will work. It’s mostly covered by the flower pot anyways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
