Growing things.

So, My little outdoor garden has brought me some of the strangest bugs...


It's like a spider, but I don't think it is.. It's in a teeny web, and it's green. I only see six legs.

Joe said he thinks it is a Spit Bug. Also, he said that it is not in a teeny web. It is in a "web" of it's own spit.

That's where they lay their babies. x__x
ohihatebugs.



The Dragon Tree-lings are doing well.

They are growing very quickly. Apperantly, it is not a palm tree. also, it is supposed to be slow growing.  I think once I bring it inside, it will stop growing so quickly.

Also, I've got these guys that I have no idea what they are:



They are long stalks. My mother brought them to me with several other plant cuttings. They are like... stems. I saw at her house, she's got a few growing together in a pot. Some have a leaf on top.
I've got about 4 different sets of these stalks. One is several smaller ones, with a leaf or two on top of each. This one, has no leaf up top, however it is sprouting all over it's sides.

Another just keeps dying.

AND LASTLY to my Pineapple Sage-ling.:


Isn't it so cute??!



My cousin gave me her plant. I had stayed at her house over night, and I couldn't get over how cute and different that plant was. I wanted to take a cutting, But when I offered to repot it for her, She just gave it to me. So, I repotted it, and I've taken two cuttings (one is rooting still). 
The leaves all wilt, then fall off.
The stem becomes more of a stick, and it gets really hard.
It looks sad for a bit.

Then it roots.

I wasn't sure what planting a rooted stick would do, but I suppose it's showing me :]

I can't wait to give her back a pineapple sage-ling! I think she'll like it.
