What you can learnA complete ornamental example from slow emergence through heavy bloom and successful soil transplant.

It is beautiful, full and so colorful!
How's this one going in the pot. Is it still blooming?
I finally decided to let this one go after realizing it would bloom in perpetuity if I kept watering it.
It is doing well in the pot.
I should’ve transplanted mine at that stage. It looks great.
Very pretty. Totally satisfying and rewarding project, I am sure.
Looks very happy and at home!
Very pretty. I also love the color of the pot, it complements the pink flowers.
Very decorative! Colors POP!
The flowers are so full and quite vibrant in color. As far as the "crime" you may commit maybe someone in the office would like to transplant it? That would save you from any prosecution you may (or may not) have in the future.
Another way to save the project is to take the basket and plant it deeply (sponge and basket) deeply in a large pot with potting mix and watch it spread and take off! It would mean sacrificing a basket, though.
That looks so beautiful!
It’s filling out beautifully. Any comments from your coworkers?
Oh yes. Many questions about the Sprout in general and lots of comments on the pretty flowers. One of my team members swears she’s going to transfer it to a pot and take it home.
At least you have a good description of the future plant thief
Funny!Next time you can plant all 3 pods and then pot them and raffle them off. The proceeds can go to the office donut fund. (Or Nick’s personal pizza fund).
I’d rather put it toward my new AeroGarden fund! 😁
Oh snap! Even better!!!
very very pretty and vibrant!
Nice!
You will have triple soon!
That was so fast!!
Oh wow, do you already have a bud?!
Exciting. It is looking really good too.
Those petals are quite strong and they sure don't give up, do they!
They will be fine! Looking good and well on their way.
I’m impressed you got them out! Seems like everything else we all grow comes up as a single tiny seedling that easily clears the sides of the label opening. But these come out like a big powder puff in comparison.
I wound up just taking the labels off lol
me too
I first lifted it off of one side of the basket to give the emerging greenery room, then just yesterday pulled the whole thing off because the green had filled out most of the top of the basket. Then I reused the label on another garden.
Have the flowers crested the label? Or have you removed it yet?
There’s a hint of green above the label at the moment. I’ve decided to leave it on and see what happens. 😬
Probably a good idea.
YAY, it is on its way.
A cheerful bit of life in an otherwise dreary storm. Congrats!!
Day 14 means an R&R and feeding for this little one today. Maybe it'll spur some growth?
Possibly!
Happy yo hear it cleaned up well. Now to wait for the Love to Bloom.
I needed to make a quick stop at the office this morning and checked in with the Sprout. It's four days in and no love is in the air as of yet. Still waiting for a sign of life.
