I’m so happy to see my new anthuriums grow so fast! This is an Anthurium Hookeri, she was overwatered and getting too much direct sunlight. As soon as I changed that, she started getting back her dark green color and it is giving me so many new leaves!

My baby!! I’ve grown this one from seed, a 3.5 year journey so far. Can’t wait for her to keep growing!

Questions? Ask them away!!!

Look at this magical moment for me I’m obsessed with my #anthurium

Why are prayer plants (Maranta Leuconeura) so fascinating??! All of them are so gorgeous, intriguing and alive!

They love:

-Medium indirect light

-Let the soil dry well between watering sessions

-I also add 1-2 tablespoons of coffee grounds

Such an intriguing cactus! Slow grower and super cool to have in your collection! #trichocereusbridgesii

This is how I shop for airplants!

Many times the flower attracts you and that’s fine. I know they are gorgeous and surreal. As long as you know that they are Monocarpic plants, and will slowly die after putting out their flower.

I prefer to look for babies! That means that after the babies grow enough, I’ll have more airplants. The mom will flower eventually, so I will still appreciate that too!

Super happy to see my Monstera Siltepecana grow. I noticed a huge improvement after I added the pole for support and humidity.

As many monsteras, let the soil dry in between watering sessions and provide medium to bright indirect light.

I’ve killed several plants because of misleading information and stereotypes you hear. These are just a few of the ones for succulents.

Always do your research and experiment! You’re always welcome to DM me!

Can we all scream for a minute? Look who joined my plant fam! Anthurium hookeri (bird’s nest anthurium) Isn’t she gorgeous? Comment a and get excited with me!

She is labelled as a bird nest anthurium. She does have red veins and a gorgeous flower in the last stages.

I didn’t get it from a normal retail shop. In our area one day a year, 9 wholesale nurseries open the door to the public. I saw her from afar at one of them, screamed and without researching or anything, I knew she called my soul. Because of the event, she was also only $35 (for that size omg!)

I’m still in full research mode, since this is a rare plant in my area (meaning she is not widely available), I’m honestly not sure if the label is accurate or not. Based on what I’ve found, most sold ones are hybrids and not the actual species.

Do you grow this baby? Share any insights or tips with me!

Cacti & Euphorbias aren’t they gorgeous!?

I’ve grown these indoors for a while now, the oldest one I’ve had for about 4 years. They all need bright indirect light if indoors and I always let the soil dry well between watering sessions.

I haven’t fertilized them or repotted them in a long time, except my pen*s cactus.

My Alocasia Macrrohiza is back! Never give up. Observation is key!

I have a special love for this baby. I’ve grown her for 3 years now and she was stunning, until recently when I repotted her from a clay pot to a bigger ceramic pot and ended up overwatering her. I neglected her losing leaves, because it is common for her to drop leaves in winter, but I never kept less than 2 leaves. She lost them all…all!

That’s when I decided to take action, checked her roots and repotted her back to a smaller plastic pot and kept her in the ER (my garage). A few weeks later, she is showing her love with a new leaf!

My begonia Sinbad is coming back!

I’ve grown this begonia since 2020. She grew so tall and bushy, I was super proud! But last year she was affected by powdery mildew, which is a horrible fungus disease that spreads really fast.

I treated her with strong neem oil and cut her down several times, but the mildew kept coming back. So after several times, I decided to cut all of the branches down, like super hardcore.

After a few months of just watering enough and being in observation in my ER room, she is coming back. Fingers crossed that the mildew won’t come back

Have any of your plants been mislabeled?

Now that the fenestrated leaves are fully open, definitely can say it is a rhaphidophora decursiva. They were mislabeled.

Regardless, I’ve enjoyed growing her for a bit over a year. When I first saw the first fenestrations, I wanted to cry

I definitely love the dark green color and the texture of the leaves.

What do you like about your current favorite plant? Reblog and share it with me.

If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ll know that I planted these bougainvilleas when my stepdad and dad passed away.

I live on the central coast of California, and it gets foggy and it is a bit more chilly. And even though bougainvilleas love lots of sun, they are growing and look at all the blooms! Makes me so happy!

If you’ve lost someone, get a plant in their name. Make a commitment to take care of it and grow it. Doing so has helped me so damn much!

The plan is to grow the bougainvilleas and make a wall. On the bottom, I’m going black berries and making them fall down the container.

New Office Shelves! How many plants do you see? Do you recognize the bottle used in my pothos on the top left?

We took the bookshelves out and Jared built new ones on the wall. This opened up the space a lot in this room and gave us more space for books & plants of course.

(Disclosure: Books are to my husband, what plants are to me )

We have fenestrations!! I’m screaming help me share this!

This is such a gorgeous plant. I provided high humidity and accurate watering (based on finger test) and medium indirect light.
