One thing about my son that I admire is his love for science. He enjoys Geology, Entomology, Mycology, Botany and Zoology. I try to fuel my sons curiosity by getting him the items that he needs and it isn't always easy to do. Science kit can be expensive so I have to look for alternatives. I frequent goodwills and discount shops to purchase different kits. There are other ways that attribute to his love for science. Right after a heavy rain I take Brandon to the park or even a walk up the street and we look at the variety of mushrooms. Mushrooms pop out like crazy after the rain and kids love to photograph them. My son loves to see them growing on the trees, on tree stumps and on the ground.
Nature walks are always healthy. I also bought my son a bug kit. He loved it . Please watch the video below as he describes it.
Recently, a neighbor gave me a umbrella tree and told me it was too big for her home. Naturally, since I am the plant whisper I took it. My family gave me a strange look since the umbrella tree did not stand upright, and it had a rather clumsy look. It was no big deal to me since I didn't mind the challenge.
I got a few stakes and some twine and tied up the umbrella tree so that it had a more suitable look. But there were so many wild branches so I figured it needed a trim. It is not a good idea to throw away a viable pieces of a plant. So I decided to try and root the small piece. I had to search the internet to find out how to root a umbrella tree. I was positive that it could be done, I just didn't know how.
To root a umbrella tree it is as simple a placing a thick healthy stem in water. The only difficult part is waiting approximately 4 months for it to have a healthy root system to plant. Please watch the video below where I demonstrate how I rooted my umbrella tree. I frequently, do plant tutorials so please subscribe to my channel Brandy's Botany Bay
