My husband and I love plants. We have an abundance of them in our home, some close to 30 years old (started by my mother).
Indoor plants get potbound, meaning they have outgrown the container they are living in and need more room to grow. When transplanting, the norm is choosing one pot size larger, giving the plant just enough space to spread it’s roots and continue to thrive.
As humans, we all need that too. When we begin to feel stifled (see 7 Clues You are Ready to Stretch) we droop and may feel thwarted – and we know it’s time to spread our wings a bit.
Our equivalent of one pot size bigger? Small steps outside our comfort zone to breathe, stretch and grow…
How will you stretch this week?
Spreading our roots
What a great analogy! I’ll have to think about this one as I journey through this week…
