Enter my humble abode filled with lots and lots of plants

Join me for my plant adventures

Welcome!

My goal with this blog is to share relatable information when it comes to gardening both indoors and outdoors. I started mostly to have an outlet so I don’t drive my friends and family nuts with all my plant facts and excitement. I’ll share my new plants, projects, struggles, and personal advice for what works for me and my jungle. I am no expert by any means, just a regular gal who found love in collecting plants. And now, I have to keep them alive. So, join me in learning new things and boosting mental health along the way!

This includes Calathea, Maranta, Stromanthe, along with several others. This family of plants love humidity! In the wild, they typically live on the forest floors of Central and South America.

A trip to the nursery, means another orchid saved.

I just needed 1 thing. And it was not a plant. Needless to say, I got a plant. Once again, I found a Phalaenopsis orchid with a dead stem, and awesome roots. Rehab day 1. That stem needed to go. Orchids like to be root bound, but not as bound as this one was. I… Continue reading A trip to the nursery, means another orchid saved.

Stringy Leafage

I was supposed to be on what some like to call a “plant ban.” Care to take a guess how long that lasted? Exactly. I knocked a few things off the wishlist recently. First let’s just talk about this gem.. This is a Ceropegia woodii, or string of hearts to most. I found this from… Continue reading Stringy Leafage

Project Phalaenopsis

End of August, I kept seeing this big phalaenopsis on the 50% shelf at the nursery. Huge green leaves, no blooms (but hey! I felt up to the challenge). Since we make frequent trips to the local places, I saw it on occasion. Beginning of September comes around, I happen to see it sitting there… Continue reading Project Phalaenopsis

Orchid oasis

We are not all perfect plant parents. Believe me, I wish I was. What I love about plant parenthood is the certain conundrums we come across. Something wilts? “Are you thirsty?!” “Oh, it’s too bright” or the ever so common (at least in my household), “What the hell is wrong with you?!?” I killed many… Continue reading Orchid oasis
