That makes sense. I am sure to kill anything that I plant though except the succulents my MIL planted for me. I need something very hardy! I actually wanted to plant the placenta with our dog Abby who died 2 weeks after Will was born, but we forgot and Matt refused to dig her up again! ;)

I'm following this thread with interest :)

My experience is that it needs to be planted about a month before the plant is put on top of it. It needs to break down before tender roots are put on
it.  It would be awful to have the plant die.  MM

Why dont you go to a good nursery and ask them what plants would
thrive in a pot with a placenta. Maybe you need a pair of pots ( and
half in each as it might be too much for one and would also increase
your chances of having one survive

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice
about planting my placenta- it has been in the freezer
for 5 months and I really need to do something with
it!). I want to put it in a pot plant as I'd want to
take the plant if we move. What plants would you
recommend (please note I have killed mint!)and should
I put it in a big plant pot or a small one. Do I need
to do anything with the potting mix, or is a placenta
and premium mix enough to make sure the plant
thrives?. I know it's not really a mid question but I
really want a 'special' plant for my daughter, and I
didn't think the local nursery could give much advice.
By the way, I had a beautiful water birth (with hardly
any pushing), after a 2 1/2 hour first stage, and
completed with a physiological third stage. (Not bad
for a primip midwife!). Thanks a lot,  Vicky
