Wound dressing in World War I
- The kindly Sphagnum Moss

"... Sphagnum moss has been used for centuries to bind wounds suffered in battle. Ancient Gaelic-
Irish sources say warriors wounded in the battle of
Clantarf, 1014, stuffed their wounds with moss, while Highlanders after the battle of Flodden, 1513, are said to have staunched their wounds by filling them with a mixture of bog moss & soft grass."

#gardening #plantita I'd initially potted half my #micans in soil and the other half I'd left in water, but after reading online about proper care I thought I'd do it properly

(micans roots are so tiny and delicate it's frightening to even touch them)
(i have no idea what i'm doing)

With the application of professional-grade potting mix, a #sphagnummoss pole, and garden velcro, this is the result

(i hope the excess roots latch on to the moss pole)
(i hope they don't die)
