Our African Milk Tree plant has been with us for years. We originally planted it in our yard at our old house. When we moved to our new apartment, we knew we had to bring it with us. We took clippings from the plant and carefully transported them to our new balcony garden paradise.

In the Beginning
At first, we were worried about how the plant clippings would adapt to their new environment. Our old yard had plenty of space, sunlight, and fresh air. Our balcony was much smaller and shaded by nearby buildings. But we made it make it work.
We started by placing the plants in a spot that received the most sunlight on our balcony. We also made sure to water it regularly and fertilize it with the right nutrients. Slowly but surely, we started to see new growth from the plants. Beautiful new green shoots started to emerge, and the plant began to thrive in its new environment.

The 2023 USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map was created by Oregon State University (PRISM Climate Group) and released by the USDA.

Clippings From Your Favorite Yard Plants are the Beginnings of Your New Balcony Garden
Bringing the clippings from our old yard to our new home has been a wonderful way to keep the memories of our old space alive. It’s also been a practical way to save money on new plants and landscaping. By taking clippings from our favorite plants and nurturing them in our new space, we’ve been able to create a beautiful and familiar environment that feels like home. Our African Milk Tree plant is just one example of how these clippings have helped us bring a piece of our old yard to our new place.
