Lately I’m into alocasias and syngoniums, but my favorites will always be monsteras. What are your favorites? I just ordered two monstera tissue cultures so I’m looking forward to trying something new.

Pothos are great plants and the first I ever had. I only have one and am not sure why I’ve never gotten another. Which type of pothos is your favorite. Your pictures are gorgeous.

Variegated leaves are my favorite, also. My Thai constellation is really growing beautiful leaves.

I notice you don't yet have any orchids. Phalenopsis are good starters for epiphyte types and paphiopedilums are good starters for terrestrials

#### RI replied on 2025-10-12

unfortunately they just don’t survive in my house 🥲

#### Waspinator replied on 2025-10-12

Any idea how your past ones died?

#### RI replied on 2025-10-12

i don’t know my mom is amazing with them so i had her try and help me and i still managed to kill them they are just not happy plants in my house and that’s okay 😂

I love my ZZ plants - they are so low maintenance and really will do well just about anywhere. My Neon Pothos is a favorite, she grows quickly and is a fun pop of bright green!
