Just Me

Lavender in a planter needs to be cared for differently than lavender planted directly in open soil. Correct pruning only will not prevent the plant from getting woody over time. The roots of the plant can't grow deep enough to always get access to water. Therefore it needs to be planted in a medium which retains as much water as possible, and it needs to be watered regularly, especially on hot sunny days because it will profusely evaporate the available water.

I try to provide what they need, but I don't always get around to watering whenever they need it. After 14 years I've decided to replace the plants by my front door with a couple of last years cuttings. Since I'm hopefully moving house some time in the next 6 months this will also make it a bit easier for me to take the planters with me.

#FotoVorschlag: #Raubtiere // #Predators 🕷️

Ein kleines Raubtier habe ich noch in meinem #Lavendel, aber Spiderella ist gerade im Mutterschutz. Heute wieder ohne CW, weil man zweimal hinschauen muss, um überhaupt was zu entdecken, oder? // There's a tiny predator in my #lavender, but as you know, Spiderella is on maternity leave atm. Again, no CW today, because it's very difficult to spot her, isn't it?

#Spider update! 🕷️ Without a content warning today, because I have a hard time spotting Spiderella myself here 🔍 (I'm pointing at her, in case you can't find her).

Sooo, on the last episode, I showed you this large new female with the green stripes who made a new home in my #lavender. Turns out she wasn't large, but very, very pregnant. 😅 Two days after the photos, I discovered that she wove together some flower heads and built an egg #cocoon! And suddenly Spiderella isn't quite so large anymore. The poor thing is guarding her egg sac fiercely, despite the rain and storms we had recently. I have no idea when the spiderlings emerge, but it's been a few days now. So excited! 👶
