I could not keep a plant alive for years. Now here I am with blooming inch plants and Peperomias, new babies that I propagated, thriving Calatheas, Pink leaves on my Hoya, new leaves on my pink Princess and Monstera. TikTok, Google and Planta have been my friend with any new plants. A green thumb is very much about information, curiosity and trial and error. Loving every step of it so far!

Wow they’re all gorgeous! I didn’t even know tradescantia flowered. Mine was always a leggy mess, but I find yours inspiring 🌸

Thank you, they definitely thrive in high humidity. I mist her all the time. And she’s grown beautifully.

I use a moisture meter to know when to water my plants, I’m notorious for over watering lol. Peperomias don’t like to dry out completely but can’t over water them either. I have her outside in FL humidity and mist her often too. I use shake and feed but I’m probably going to switch to a better fertilizer once it runs out

i think i might try misting and the shake and feed fertilizer. unfortunately i live in the midwest so i won’t be able to keep her in the florida humidity lol. thank you!!
