I was gifted two cala lily plants that were overwatered and neglected. Can I revive them? I will transfer to new containers and I read to remove any mushy roots. What about the foliage? Should I cut some or all of it?

Hallo zusammen 🌿mein Name ist Jessica. Ich lebe im Süden Deutschlands in einem großen Permakultur-Garten, wo ich Gemüse anbaue, Wild- und Heilkräuter begleite und mit meinen Hühnern, Hunden und der Natur im Alltag verbunden bin. Meine Arbeit und Leidenschaft sind es, Menschen dabei zu unterstützen, über die Natur wieder mehr bei sich selbst anzukommen. Ich freue mich sehr, hier bei euch in dieser Gruppe dabei zu sein. Als kleines Willkommensgeschenk habe ich ein kurzes Video mitgebracht, das ich dem Wegerich gewidmet habe. In Deutschland nennen wir ihn manchmal den „Fußabdruck des weißen Mannes“. Für mich steht er für stille Stärke, Trittfestigkeit und leise Weisheit. Er wächst dort, wo wir gehen, bleibt bestehen, heilt still und schenkt uns Nahrung und Kraft. Genau so wünsche ich mir auch den Austausch hier in dieser Gemeinschaft: ehrlich, lebendig, nährend – nicht laut, sondern getragen von Weisheit und Offenheit. Das Video ist auf Deutsch gesprochen, aber ich hoffe sehr, dass die Botschaft und die Energie trotzdem bei euch ankommen. 💚 Herzlichst, The German Girl in the Garden Hello everyone 🌿my name is Jessica. I live in the south of Germany on a large permaculture garden, where I grow vegetables, work with wild and medicinal herbs, and share life with my chickens, my dogs, and the rhythms of nature. My passion is to help people reconnect with themselves through nature. I’m very happy to be part of this group. As a small welcome gift, I’d like to share a short video I created about Plantain. In Germany we sometimes call it the “footprint of the white man.” For me, it symbolizes quiet strength, resilience, and silent wisdom. It grows where we walk, it doesn’t break when stepped on – it remains, heals quietly, and offers both food and medicine. That’s also how I imagine our exchange here in this community: honest, alive, nourishing – not loud, but full of wisdom and openness. The video is spoken in German, but I truly hope that its message and energy will still resonate with you. 💚

Hello wonderful community! In a world that often moves too fast, let’s intentionally slow down this weekend.

Maybe you’ll… - ☕ Enjoy your morning coffee or tea outside - 🌱 Spend 20 minutes gardening or sitting with your plants - 📖 Read a book under a tree - 🚶‍♂️ Take a tech-free walk - Or simply… do nothing at all Let’s inspire each other to live more mindfully. Share your intention in the comments below! You’re not alone in craving a slower, more connected life. 💚 With warmth, Emil @everyone

Dear community 💚,we often talk about the magic of healing plants 🌱 – but I’d love to hear more about how and where you source them! ✨ A few guiding questions: 1️⃣ Do you cultivate them in your garden? (seeds bought, exchanged, or self-harvested & stored 🌱🌼) 2️⃣ Do they grow wild around you? (in your backyard, fields, forests 🌳) 3️⃣ Do you know special places in nature where you go to harvest them? 🍃 4️⃣ Or do you maybe buy them from trusted sources? 🛍️ 🌸 Personally, I do a mix: Some plants I cultivate directly in my garden, others like hibiscus and wild greens I also find growing naturally nearby. And every new season brings fresh experiments. 💬 Now I’m curious about your healing plants journey: 👉 Where do you get them, and how do you like to prepare or preserve them? Let’s inspire each other with knowledge and stories 🌿✨.
