We came back from vacation to see that the plants I've had growing in the back window are really taking off. My sword fern, which is technically an invasive species (but a pretty one and easy to get rid of) is trying to grow out of the sides of the pot.

I have two Mother Ferns, which sprout little fernlets on their leaves when they are mature. You can pinch off those little fernlets and plant them, which is in fact how I got my two Mother Fern babies. They are doing very well: they've doubled in size over the last few months, since I changed the soil they were planted in. They do seem to prefer a rich mixture to a seed-starting medium.
And here's the callistemon I've been rooting; of the three cuttings, two have taken, although they are sort of slow to grow right now (not surprising; it is winter). I have no idea where I will plant them, but I'm sure somewhere will turn up.
(You can see these plants several months ago here.)
