Christmas (Cactus) in June

I think y’all starting to find out that I’m a horrible procrastinator. I even slack on the simplest projects, like re-potting a plant.
I’ve had this Christmas cactus since my grandma passed away a year and a half ago.

She had a serious green thumb, so my mom and I inherited a lot of house plants. This poor guy came to live with me and has been stuck in that plastic terra cotta pot ever since. This project was so simple (and cheap), I have no idea why it took me so long…
1.       Buy pot on clearance at Hobby Lobby for $6
2.       Fill bottom with rocks (optional)

3.       Rip out plant and stick in new pot
4.       Add soil
And done:

Yep. I seriously waited a year and a half to finish something that took $6 and 5 minutes.

Do you have any 5 minute projects? Get them done! Don't be a lazy bum like me!

  3. I'm a procrastinator as well. I've got lots of little projects to get done that are fairly simple and inexpensive, but my problem is that I cant make a decision on color, or where I want something to go.
