Back at the beginning of February, I put this sewing table (sans sewing machine) in the corner of the living room where the Christmas tree had stood for 2 glorious months.
At that time, I placed a small Swedish ivy plant nestled in a large pot on the table, but it looked so skimpy that I added another smaller pot of Swedish ivy. I was delighted with the lushness of the two plants just six weeks later as they soaked in some (freakishly) early spring sunshine.
I'm now convinced the plant in the original large pot is some kind of mutant vegetation, as evidenced in the picture above, taken a mere five weeks later. I had to remove the smaller pot as the larger plant grew exponentially, and now it's about to take over the entire table. This, in spite of the fact that our (freakishly) early spring sunshine vanished after just a few days and we've been back in the doldrums of a (sadly) normal Maine spring ever since.
After I do some pruning I'll have an abundance of Swedish ivy rootings if anyone is interested. :)
