So did you know you can give spider mums a haircut?
The first thing to turn on a spider mum is the outside petals, they stop curling up & turn blah. So I took my plant scissors, turned it upside down, chopped all the way around & it looks new again. I will let you know how much longer they last with their haircut. Everything but…

Aaawww, her little pink tongue shows
