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!

Bird of paradise & Apple tree Updates

HAPPY MONDAY! 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.

Do you grow one? Share any tips

Questions? Ask them away!

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.

Happy Lunar Year! 祝大家新年快樂！虎年大吉!

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.

Bird of Paradise From Seed Check ✅!!! THEY ARE GROWING!

This is so exciting, but from personal experience, it is still too soon to scream victory! Seedlings are especially sensitive to anything. Too much of this, too little of that, if you miss to check on them one day, then you might lose them.

I’m manually watering them and placing them outside during the day, for them to get full sun. Then taking them back in to protect them from the cold and outsiders

If you haven’t watched them, I posted about 3 videos of the process back in November if I remember right. It took about 8 weeks for them to sprout. This is week 10.

Do you agree? I’m committed to keep posting my plants that are struggling, because that’s how we all grow.

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.

This is Kenji, a Chihuahua- Dachshund mix. He loves being close to my plants and under the sun. He also loves to cuddle!

The plants featured:

-Elegia tectorum

-Tibouchina heteromalla (flower)

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

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.

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.

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.
