Glade tending

I have been tending to my little sprig of Glade that I have been nurturing on my raft.

It seems in remarkably good health for having been uprooted and transplanted. I credit this to

a) the gentlest possible uprooting, taking care to uproot it during a period of dormancy
b) taking the same fertilizer and water that I used to tend to the whole Glade and ensuring it remains consistent throughout the voyage.
c) Not taking any action to violently crush or kill any fungus or blemish that may have appeared, but letting them grow to see what they are and what, if any, benefit they may bring. I'm sure the shock of sudden pesticides or fungicides would damage the cutting seriously or irreparably.

And I bob up and down.
