A dear friend messaged me this morning commenting on my Patchouli in a Pickle Jar post; she had been making perfume oil for many years. I shared with her some updated photos of my Patchouli plant and I thought I'd share an update about the plant here too.
Looking back at my receipts, I found that I purchased the Patchouli plant on November 2, 2024. Due to the growing requirements of the plant and how it likes high humidity, I knew I needed to plant it in something that would give it the environment it needed. Also, it had appeared that the plant had been cold shocked, so it would need to heal through that as well (my fingers were crossed!) I knew that it would eventually outgrow the pickle jar, but I had no idea that it would be this quick!!
Man, look at all that healthy growth!

While the plant has been in the pickle jar, I would uncap it periodically to get some fresh air inside and to help prevent root rot from it being so damp inside the jar. It has been on the table in my plant room under grow lights and this little plant has just been thriving!
Since we are going into the Thanksgiving holiday here in a couple of days, I plan to spend some time one afternoon to transplant this baby into a bigger pot. I'll need to brainstorm on what I can use to give it the optimal humidity that it needs. I have some ideas though!
Seeing all of this new growth makes my heart happy!!
