Hi, I’m new to the plant world! 🌎 I had ZERO 🙅🏻♀️ interest in plants. But then came Penny, my first rubber plant I bought for my first apartment from Trader Joe’s. I named her like a joke until she started thriving. Like, really thriving! Out of nowhere, I became a little proud plant mom. Then Mac arrived… another rubber plant, gifted by my sweet friend as a house warming gift. And suddenly, this black-thumbed girl had two healthy, glossy, and green friends. 😅 Fast forward to today, I somehow acquired a mini plant bar for Mother’s Day. Tonight I surprised myself staying up to clean leaves, checking soil, trimming browning tips, and uploading their profiles to the Planta app like it was a dating site for ferns. I even took before and after photos. LOL Deep down this feels fulfilling and life-giving. Today I went to a local greenhouse and bought from neighbors via Facebook Marketplace. I totally get the obsession now. I get the deep-seated push to care for plant life and give them a bright future. I can’t believe I’m talking to my plants, naming them, and making sure their timers are set for their grow lights! But here we are and I’m not mad about it. There’s beauty in growing things, in loving what not everyone deems lovable. I’ve gone from 1 to 9 plants since January and Mother’s Day. 😂🤦🏻♀️

My 2nd Peony finally opened up. Looks like we just get two so far this year. Does anyone know how long til they have multiple blooms? I mean I’ve read that they don’t bloom the first year or two. So I was happy with 2 for year 2.

Samson my gorgeous monstera esqueleto got a pretty new pot today! I’m obsessed with the vintage PYREX look! Shout out to thecampyvamp on Etsy! I probably should have wrapped some vines along the dirt so it forms more roots.

These two have been on my wish list for a while. So excited!

So, I have a problem. 🤦♀️ Scooped these up today, the philodendron was free. Alocasia odoro variegated (I think) and alocasia nebula.

Because I’m a crazy plant lady, I went back to my local Walmart and dug deep through the clearance (50% off!!!) section and picked out a few more gems! They were just gonna leave them to rot inside the store on a corner shelf! 🤪
