Spanish moss (Tillandsia usneoides) is such a gorgeous addition to any vertical space and the best thing is that you don’t need soil or a pot.

This is an epiphyte, which means they grow on tree trucks or any surface that provides nutrients from the moisture, water and or air or the surface itself (like the tree trunks).

I’ve propagated twice now and they are all growing. I keep them in our shower as they get filtered light and humidity from our hot showers.

Questions? Ask them away?

Happy Lunar Year! 祝大家新年快樂！虎年大吉!

My Philodendron Imperial Red keeps growing! These are the things that make me smile & cheer me up. Yes, I’m struggling with some of my babies and I’m focusing my energy on them, but damn… we have to appreciate and value the good things happening around us every single day!

Philodendron Care:

Medium indirect light

Let them dry well between watering sessions. Remember to follow the finger test.

Regular Humidity

I haven’t fertilizer this one in the year I’ve grown her. I’ll update my care tips when I do.

I am internally screaming in excitement!!! The details were added and the upper leaves were filled!

Thanks @rckelly (IG page) for your amazing work! It’s perfect!

Our youngest and alpha of the group, Mochi.

She is our 1 year old Shiba. When we joined our family, she was definitely into my houseplants and outdoor plants.

I was able to train her not to touch the indoor plants, she quickly noticed the change in my soul, energy and voice ‍

However, she has been dedicated to destroying and eating anything I attempted to plant in my garden bed. Last year I grew a lot of stuff from seed and I was so damn excited and she ate them all, like the whole thing, she would even pull the roots!

Solution: Next month my husband is going to build a wood cover, so it stops her from getting in (Evil laugh).

Have you trained your dogs? Are they interested in your houseplants?

Happy New Plant Year!

May 2022 bring you so many pups, seeds to sprout, current babies to grow, flowers and hopefully bugs to stay the f*ck away!

I also hope this is a new year of learning and experimenting, my favorite part of loving plants. If you want to become a better plant parent, learn more about plant care and more, please feel free to DM me. I’m here to help!

Plants and Pups

The next few posts, I’ll introduce you to my three gorgeous dogs and a plant or two.

Do you love when your dogs have a good relationship with your plants?
