My first "scrapbook" is a plant care reference book for my houseplants. This summer two plants have died under my care and I want to stop that from happening to any others. (R.I.P Norfolk Pine and Cyclamen.) Also this guidebook might help make my home a more inviting place for "temperamental" plants to live.
I made a list of every plant that lives with me and am slowly compiling information about each of them: preferences for light, water, humidity; propagation methods; if they're poisonous; their maximum size; care tips; and other facts. I'm not sure how to style each page, here is one I started on an index card:
Handwriting everything will take longer than I want so I am switching to some sort of computer print out. Now I need to get each plant's information standardized and figure out my layout. Here are a few of my plants:
Once I finish it will be a handy reference when one of my plants looks ill or if I want to rearrange. I've already begun modifying some plant's living conditions to help them thrive! I'm working on turning my house into a jungle.
This is an awesome idea!
ReplyDeletethanks. i don't want to kill any more plants.
DeleteWhat a great idea! So practical. Most of my scrapbook efforts have been more like journals, but now I'm thinking a recipe scrapbook might be a nice idea then I can look at it every day.
ReplyDeleteA recipe scrapbook is a good idea!
