Something funny.....

Two of my plants have grown an enormous amount of leaves and so became a little heavy. I needed to give support to their stems so this is what I used....lol

Ever eat chinese food? You know those sticks that the terriyaki chicken and terriyaki beef come on? Well I used one of those sticks for the two plants. (after giving them a good cleaning of course) Here comes the kicker....I wanted to use something to tie them onto the sticks without harming them or their growth....well, my five year old has this cheap, novelty toy, it's a hand, miniature hand that is, made of this gooey, sticky material that if you slap it against something it sticks...a hardened version of "slime" if you will. I used that. It worked. The material doesn't dig into the stem and is flexible, very flexible. It's also sturdy and stretchy. I had to do this some days ago and the plants have had no problems so far....lol....Peace.
