Day off work, a simple chore of watering turned into the much needed task of sweeping leaves and mud from behind and underneath. Pruned croton, trimmed bamboo grass back to 5" so it will grow back in more evenly and upright. Lirope had been pulled out of the pot the bamboo grass is now in. I separated it into a few clumps and filled in handrail planters where needed. The bougainvillea planters especially needed some filler underneath- we'll see how it looks. Watered everyone in thoroughly and then applied fish / superthrive mix. The buddha belly bamboo is sending up an number of culms on the edge of one side of it's pot.. time will tell how long the pot can contain it.

The philodendron planted in orange tree pot has begun to send out some feelers to climb. I've said it before, if you have any shade on your terrace, even if it's only for a few hours, try growing some type of philodendron. They will fill and overflow their pot, lending a lush, tropical look to your terrace. I'll post pics of this one when the light gets a little softer.
