plants and their care

do you think if i keep posting photos of plants that spring will come faster? i'm hoping. it's supposed to be warm again by the end of the week. last week it did warm up enough that i made it outside to pot some baby spider plants and re-pot some of my other plants. let's just hope they stay happy! i need to do some major trimming on my largest houseplant, my schefflera (hawaiian umbrella plant/tree). it could have been a tree, but now that it's sprouted two branches, i think i'd better encourage it to be a bush. that will require some extreme trimming, however, and i really don't like to cut back plants. i'd rather just let them grow however they please, but in this case, that's a bit unwieldy for a houseplant. blah blah. i'll post some before and after photos if i ever get around to trimming it.
