Good News about a hobby of mine..I grow trees inside my home. [View all]

Now, I have 3 trees. Two are six feet, and one is seven feet tall. A bunch of other plants too. Now, to make it very simple, these plants did not start out as trees. About 20 years ago, a neighbor gave me, a tiny plant with 2 leaves maybe two inches tall. She said it was an orange plant taken from a seed. It was a cute and little plant, so now it really is 7 feet tall, and since I have seen "orange trees" in Florida, yes it is an orange tree..Never had any flowers but it is a tree in my living room.
..Two other trees from tiny plants. These were Schefflera plants. Pretty small, also 3 or 4 inches tall. Now both are six feet tall trees. Trees are trees and I have always liked walking in forests with trees. I never did expect to have 3 trees growing in my home, but that is what has resulted from my hobby with "plants."
..I have been spraying the orange tree with water every day or so, and am giving it more sun than it has had. I will let you know if it flowers. Yes, I talk to the trees from time to time. Sure, I am nuts, but there are worse things than talking to trees that you grew from tiny plants. Oh, did I say, "I like trees?"
