Here at The Dirt, we never cease to be amazed by the plants that choke when you give them your full attention and the ones that thrive when you least expect it.
Exhibit K: Back in July, I wrote about holding up my blue pea pod vine with a teepee made up of clippings from an overgrown dracaena. Here’s the photo I posted:
Apparently, the dracaena branches didn’t get the memo that they’re not a plant anymore but a prop. Recently they began sprouting. Three months later, here’s what the teepee looks like:
Clearly, the dracaena cuttings aren’t in competition with the vine – which is blooming like crazy right now. But it will be interesting to see what happens next.
The good news is, it obviously doesn’t take much effort to get a dracaena cutting going. The branches aren’t deeply buried in soil – they’re barely propped up against the sides of the pot!
