Introducing the first AUTOMATIC PLANT TOWER!
This is a fantastic solution for those that never quite know when it's time to repot their plants or a good time to take cuttings for propagation! It's quite simple, really - when the time for repotting/cutting is detected, an alarm goes off (kind of resembles a crashing noise), the plant stand automatically comes down to ground level, ejects the plants and severs stems perfect for dipping in rooting hormone and propagating.
Figure 1: the budding horticulturist is automatically alerted to plants needing attention and potting soil clumps are naturally broken up and aerated
Figure 2: After repotting whole plants, take your pick of the stem cuttings, dip in hormone or water and propagate, the difficult work of scissor cuts is done for you
Figure 3: when plant maintenance is completed, place tower back in upright position and smile knowing the guesswork has been taken out and you will never again have to worry about "when" - the Automatic Plant Stand will worry about it for you!
And to think I woke up with nothing to blog about today...
Oh, dear. Why not put a plant hook in the ceiling, the type for hanging plants, and some type of loop on the top of the tower, and secure it to the hook. I have a hook in my living room ceiling, that used to hold a heavy hanging plant, but now just mocks me from above the TV set that is now in that corner. It reminds me of a big bug just sitting there on my ceiling. Some day I'll get around to removing it.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAA!! Ok I totally laughed at your expense! Totally! Smacked my desk and all! I love it! How smart of you to come up with such a scientific designed automatic plant tower!
ReplyDeleteSorry to get such a kick out of your experience, but that was hilarious!!! Thanks for posting, I always enjoy the friendly sarcasm!!!
ReplyDeleteCandace
You are one funny gilr!! Way to look on the bright side! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, man, that was a great post! It takes a strong/brave woman to find humor in that situation! You made my day.
ReplyDeleteI think that you should patent it!!
ReplyDeleteLOL, Erin, you are hysterical! OH my goodness, I'd be crying if I saw that in my living room!
ReplyDeleteGran, it's pressure mounted but actually has a place for me to screw it into the ceiling but I rearrange every 2 months so I would have holes all over the place!
ReplyDeleteMeemsnyc, not sure why I didn't get upset, it came down about 5 inches from my head, I guess I'm forever grateful during deployments for these un-catastrophes, after all, usually the catastrophes involve the furnace or the well pump or ceiling caving in, I count my blessings!
Talk about a situation where you can either cry or laugh about it! I don't have anything to blog about today either but thanks, I think I'll pass on a messy "catastrophe" like yours.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully creative post! (Love the second picture with the dog. I can just see her turning her head up to the left, looking at you and saying, "I didn't do it. Honest.")
You just made my day. And here I was irritated by the bucket of legos on the floor. Silly me.
ReplyDeleteOh boy! At least it didn't take anything down with it, right?
ReplyDeleteWe have to laugh at such things, life is just too short. That is a cool plant stand...is it from Ikea?
ReplyDeleteLorie, yes - where else? LOL, forget Disneyworld, IKEA is the happiest place on earth!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I love that plant stand but not the part where it does anything automatically. Now that part I could do without.
ReplyDeleteGood thing it didn't fall on anyone's head!
Uh oh!
ReplyDeleteWhat a mess. You're a far better person than me.
People in POLAND would have heard me curse if that happened. Type A all the way!
Well, so happy to hear your 'smart' plant-stand is keeping up it's end of the bargain. Thank-goodness you were not knocked unconscious. I got a kick out of it. :)
ReplyDeleteoh no! I'm glad you got it back together. Well, it got some attention and looks better than ever!
ReplyDeleteLike Robin said, have you patented it yet? :)
ReplyDelete"And to think I woke up with nothing to blog about today..."
ReplyDeleteObviously that helped to conjure it, or was it a bad doggie?
Greetz, Astuga.
Astuga, actually this was caused by FA/18's flying overhead, we live pretty much on the airfield and they shake the house quite a bit!
ReplyDeleteOh, my gawd, that was good: you should write ad copy! :)
ReplyDeleteBAWAHAHAHAHA!!! And here I was thinking it was the dogs! Never thought about the jets...
ReplyDeleteLOL! I'm sorry to laugh at your expense. I really am.
ReplyDeleteSo great to see the bright side of the disaster! I assume you have cuttings galore ...
ReplyDeleteoh, my!
ReplyDeleteI wish I was close so you could share you cuttings.
