Where Are You Rooted?

Thinking about plants, strength comes from and through the roots. Nourishment comes through the roots.

Some plants have very deep roots going way down into the soil. Others live on the surface because there isn’t much depth to their soil. Some don’t have any soil and grow in the air wherever they might be!

Sometimes a plant isn’t in the right soil for it’s roots to develop, It might need to be uprooted and placed in a better spot for it to grow, develop and produce more.

A cactus will drown in too watery a soil. Heath and Heather plants like rocky dry soils – even windy slopes. Willow tree roots do best in very moist creekside areas. Clematis vines do best with shaded cooler root soils. Asparagus and rhubarb roots thrive in rich organic soil.

How about us different peoples? What type soils do our roots do best in?

• Where are your roots now?
• What are you rooted in or to?
• Do your roots need new soil?
• Do they need more fertile soil?
• Are they cramped?
• Do they need room to expand?
• Do they need to be trimmed back for more top growth?
• Do they need to be repotted into a new pot?
• Do they need more sunshine or are they getting too much?
• Are they getting enough water, or too much?

It seems everything in creation has similar types and needs.

What type and needs do you have to flourish?

Are you able to meet them?

Look at your roots and examine your situation. What type soil do your roots require? What do you need to do to help them?
