It is the middle of summer and I wanted to buy some small plant that I could keep growing over the fall and winter. I found a Hen and Chick. That’s what got me wanting to mark the beginning of my attempt to grow succulents, again! I’ve never been good at growing them in the past. I usually kill them with too much water. I chose Anna Mason’s tutorial of a single Hen and added two chicks.
This plant reminds me that the purpose of growth is multiplication. It is nice to see growth in my own life. But I want to see reproduction, others beginning small and growing and becoming ready to reproduce. I don’t want to drown by taking in too much water and dying, like most of my previous succulents did. I also don’t want to die of thirst and never have the joy of bearing fruit. I want to bear fruit in season.
