#plantas tropicales
Find the repeated plants! There’s 3, variegation difference doesn’t count.
If you don’t know the name, describe the plant or the location.
These are second floor plant shelves. I got the shelves at IKEA. They were really not expensive at all and I’ve had them since 2019. I always move plants around and add more plants every now and then.
If there’s any plants that intrigue you, please let me know in the comments!
My gorgeous Pachira Aquatica (money tree). She has grown so much since I got her. These are the main care tips:
Medium indirect light
Let her dry the top inch and a half. Then, I’ve been bottom watering her overnight.
Regular humidity
Pet Safe
I’m probably repotting him at some point this year, depending on her roots.
Find a Monstera Deliciosa! (There’s 4) - Let me know in the comments!!!
Last weekend I was finally able to clean, rearrange and check the soil of all my garage plants. My mother in law also gave me that poinsettia.
BTW, did you know poinsettia are f* euphorbias?! Let me know if I was the only human being that didn’t know that!
Guatemalan vibes added to my IKEA Plant cabinet. What do you think?
My IKEA cabinet has most of the tropical plants that require consistent humidity and light.
This keeps humidity around 85%~90%. If it drops, I can easily turn on a small humidifier at times.
The growing lights are on a timer. I can control intensity and hours per day.
Currently all is growing well! From begonias to heart fern to calatheas.

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