HAPPY SUNDAY! My gorgeous Othonna Capensis (ruby necklace) is starting to bloom! This succulent is marvelous. Why?

1) their color changes depending on the amount of light they get.

2) Super easy to propagate. Clip and stick in soil.

3) The flowers are super cute!

4) Super easy to care for.

Question? Ask them away!

Do you grow one? Share any tips

Please meet Chavo, our first Shiba Inu.

He was born in Taiwan and then he moved with us to the US. He has always respected my indoor plants, loves sleeping next to my alocasia Macrrohiza.

Plants: This is my crazy tropical corner underneath our deck. I’m loving this vibes and I’m impressed on how much they are loving this spot.


Herbs Bed Progress Check ✅

I just reorganized my herbs last month and look how everything is adapting well. I did cut my rosemary all the way down, one of them was really stressed after the move, but hopefully will come back.

The highlights are my new free tomato plant, the lemon balm growth

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!

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

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!

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!


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.
