This beauty just had babies

Cleaned up my plants and windowsills!

The bigge boi is my dream plant, a Dragon’s Blood Tree (“Dracaena draco”), and he weighs like 60+ pounds, MINIMUM, I s2g. I’m amazed I was able to deadlift him up the whole stairway (in a very smooth pot with no grips) when I could barely move him 5 feet into the house after potting him last month. (And the grow light is there because I don’t think it’s quite enough sunlight, but he’s been doing well inside with NO direct light for the past month, so…)

I also have 2 new Poinsettias (“Euphorbia pulcherrima”) bc I’m all about that #tropicallyfe !! One’s a pinky salmon colour, and the other is red and white variegated “Mexican Flameleaf”. My mom also has a classic red one we’re gonna try to plant in the yard after it stops blooming.

My “Cordyline indivisa” got his pot painted gold finally to match all my shit. He’s looking REALLY great and has grown A LOT. I feel bad that his brother I kept outside died last spring, but that’s why I kept them separate!

I also got a Christmas Cactus (“Schlumbergera bridgesii”) and unfortunately did not have a pot big enough for all 4 of them to stay together, so I had to separate them out, and now their flowers and buds are dropping off. But better that than staying in the gross nursery pot. (I know, they like to be pot-bound, but I can’t keep a black nursery pot inside, it’s not #aesthetic .)

My other plants are still kickin’ - Persian Shield plants (“Strobilanthus”) and Dark Star Coleus (“Coleus”). I tried propagating both from a clipping, but I think it’s too cold for them downstairs… so. The jury’s still out on those. (Also pictured: Arrowhead Plant/“Syngonium podophyllum” and Rubber Plant/“Ficus elastica”).

I still have a bunch more plant-organizing to do on my vanity counter, so stay tuned for that. (But only if I stop procrastinating it.)
