I'm sorry for your loss. It sucks, I know. You can have little smidgens of moments of being with your grandmother when you take care of her plants. Do your best, but don't despair if they die or don't thrive. They are her plants, they are not her. Take joy in learning, like I'm sure she did. There might be losses, there might be successes - the important thing is that you care. That's it. If you don't beat yourself up I'd wager that you come out of this a more confident, serene person. She loved you, and so should you. All the best 💖
They look well looked after. Sorry for your loss.
That’s awesome! I did this same thing when my Nanna passed last February. I also took a dendrobium orchid spike from a bouquet at her funeral and decided to propagate it.... now a year later, it’s blooming for the first time and I can’t help but feel like she is looking down on me. I miss her very much, but the plants help remind me of wonderful times with her
No my small dogs where fighting
So sorry for your loss.
You probably know this already, but make sure your doggos stay away from these plants! The cyclamens and peace lily especially, but bulbs can be toxic as well.
Good job! I’m in a similar situation, it’s so great keeping a part of them alive in a shared interest!!
Now I’m just waiting for the daffodils
