I got this plant (his name is Arnold) last year. I repotted him in the beginning of the summer, but it's time for him to be repotted again now, because he's had some babies and they've gotten big. <strong>Taking care of my plants has been really calming throughout all of this.</strong> Watering them has become a ritual and now that I've been home almost constantly, I can see how big they've all gotten. Repotting them before the fall and winter will give them more room to spread their roots and then grow next year.<strong> Even if I'm not able to take care of myself as well as I should be</strong> (hence why I put up a printout of a CBT triangle my therapist gave me years ago),<STRONG> I can still take care of them.</strong> (The diplodocus' name is Kenny, a camper gave him to me almost 5 years ago. He loves the plants too).
