Lets track whether this orange tree lives or dies! 😁

Hi everyone! How are you on this fine Saturday? Ready for a super random post? Of course you are! Last June I got my mum an orange tree (citrus sinensis), it was leafy, thriving and living it’s best life (I wish I had a pic of it from that time)…and then Winter hit and we didn’t take care of it 😅. Over the seasonal change it got cold damage and was reduced to a withered trunk 💔.

In the last month or so we have taken to caring for it: I fed it seaweed fertiliser and my sister gave it root powder. It is starting from afresh, cut back (theres green in there so it’s trying to come back!!) and I thought this moment in time would be neat to document. Hopefully one day I’ll notice it’s started sprouting again and when that day comes, I will share another post with a much better premise than this one! 🤣

My sister is massively into gardening and has planted so much veg and flowers so far this year, it’s so nice to be around and I just know the orange tree will be a nice addition! I think it can be horrible when you see a plant not doing well as they’re sorta alive aren’t they so you feel like a murderer but we’re turning the tide on this one! Watch this space 🌱.

Have you got any plants? How is your track record with keeping them alive? I have succulents in my room and this reminds me that they need to be watered!! 🌵 There’s something magical about nature, it’s super healing to be around ✨️ More moments like that please! 🙌😂

Farewell 👋 I hope you have a good day ahead of you/a restful night. Until next time, take care, stay safe and buh-bye! 💕
