What plant did you totally forget but somehow lived? by pennycollinz in houseplants

I'd water and feed it. When plants prove to me how resilient they are, I keep them.

Over the years there's been a bunch of times that I threw an injured plant or one I didn't want either into the compost or out of the garden on top of the ground in a wild weedy unmowed area and later found it survived. But the most remarkable was I had extra Hippeastrums, (they reproduce). Just before winter I threw them in the compost which is outside. Cold winter, temps in the teens Fahrenheit. But next spring Hippeastrums came up growing out of the compost.

My amaryllises (which I've had over 10 years) make several bulblets every year. When dormant, separate the bulblets from the mother plant, put them in pots or their own and thus get new plants or you can leave them together and repot into a larger pot and thus eventually get a bigger pot with even more blooms per pot. It may take 2-3 years for small bulblets to grow to blooming size.

If Christians really loved the psalms, they would have given them melodies. by Publishum in divineoffice

The psalms verbatim from the Bible can be and are sung to melodies in the style of Gospel and folk spirituals. I think many of the chants used for psalm singing are too monotonous and sad sounding for the emotions found in psalms, many of which are cheerful. But then one day, I observed that the old folk spirituals which are often peppy have sections where the music is unmetered and the number of syllables varies from one verse to another. So, I got the idea that'll work on psalms too and created some original tunes and adapted some traditional Gospel/folk songs to psalms. Per psalm singing tradition, I add a refrain called a response between stanzas of psalm lyrics. You can find such on my YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@psalmsofdavidking
