Helping my cousin plant a plant that she was given as a gift

Happy and blessed Sunday to all my Hive friends! Thank you for sharing another post here in the #hivegarden community, where I'll show you some photos I took yesterday afternoon when I helped my cousin plant a very unusual plant called Candela. One of her sisters-in-law gave it to her and also gave her tips on how to grow more of these plants.

The first thing my cousin told me was to choose a spot near the other plants so that when they were watered, the water would also fall on the plant. The tool I used was a chicora (a type of hoe) to make the hole, which shouldn't be too big or too deep since the plant is small.

The hole wasn't perfect, but it was fine for what we were looking for. After that, all that was left was to remove the plant from its location, making sure to keep as much soil around its roots as possible, as you can see in the photos.

After that, it was just a matter of placing it in the hole and adding some of the soil I had removed earlier, making sure to leave enough space for it to continue growing.

To finish my post, I got some water in a small pot to water it right then. Also, remember what I told you about a tip for getting more of these plants that my cousin was told? You can get new ones from the leaves. It might not be the best to see, but one leaf already had roots, so she pulled it off and planted it where the previous plant was. I'm not familiar with this ability to grow from seed, so as always, nature never ceases to amaze us.
