Budding LA I
Budding LA II
Budding LA IIIOur initial home was a flask and there were about 20 of us in one flask.
The flask was then broken when we were about 6 to 9 months old and my siblings and I were each given a new home we call our own - a small individual pot. Despite the physical separation from my siblings into new pots, we all share the same name/label and it's “Lalita alba”.
For the first 12 months, our homes were closely built in the same big tray. During the day, we enjoyed rays of warm light and by nightfall, we enjoyed the breezy wind that came from the fan. We would spent our days and nights chatting with one another next to the tinted window. The rays of light coming from the sun felt warm and nice as it fell on our skin through this tinted window. We also enjoy our showers on the alternate day basis which moisturized our roots and the “open” potting mix allowed us to develop a robust roots system. With the strong roots systems, we grew to have even wider and healthier leaves.However we were sad when we saw some of our siblings succumbing to failures in their immunity and roots system. Perhaps they were not able to adapt to living in their individual homes which is after all a very new environment from the flask.
These 12 months passed very quickly. Many of us grew stronger and bigger leaves and it was time for us to upgrade to a roomier house - a bigger pot. We are now delighted with our new house which measures approximately 3'' (depth) x 2'' (width) and we were relocated to a brighter area which provides more sun rays for our wider leaves. We love staying longer in this new and roomier house and we were fed high quality vitamin on weekly basis. In this yet another new environment, our encouragement to one another never ceases. We must be there for one another, to provide support so that we all can be stronger and courageous in accepting all these changes. Most importantly we must persevere in our survival!

Another 6 months passed and we realized that some of us had reached an optimal stage of maturity. Some of us even had new sprouts growing from our side which is a good sign because that shows we are healthy and are ready to bloom anytime soon.
Today, we noticed 3 of our siblings budding. We have no slightest clue on how our flowers will turn out to be but we will share with you once they blossomed.
