A bad news - good news day today...
A few days ago I put together a 3 tied succulent combo hanging basket. I didn't post it on here yet because I was trying to figure out the best way to get a nice photo of it. This was what I had.
But now it doesn't really matter. Here's the sad story. Our weather here in Florida has been beautiful in the mornings into early afternoon (at least where I live)and then raining, sometimes pouring hard in the afternoon or evenings. So I have been hanging this outside in the mornings and then bringing it back into my screen room every afternoon. Well this morning as I was moving it, the way I was holding it the hook moved on the chains and the whole thing crashed to the floor. Yes that was the bad news.
After better than an hour of scooping up dirt and gently picking up succulents and then redoing the whole thing it doesn't seem to be to much the worse for wear. I did replace a couple that had more damage so they can just rest by themselves. However I am going to let them all have a little R & R in the house for a bit before I hang them (carefully) again. I am also going to bend the hook so it can't come undone!!
I also need to re-identify them since all their ID tags also went helter-skelter, but that shouldn't be too hard, just a little time consuming.
Oh the good news; I have a bunch pieces that broke off that I will use to root out for new plants!
