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.

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!

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!

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!
