I was sitting on my deck, admiring my Stargazer Lily, and was pleasantly surprised to see this gorgeous butterfly alight on it 😊. This has definitely made my morning extra special. 💕

Just started with carnivorous plants. I've had this little Cape Sundew a couple of weeks and I have 2 nepenthes coming tomorrow. Perfect timing because I'm dealing with fungus gnats again. She's earning her keep. 👍🏼

Went to the 2026 plant show in ATL and I bought three new plants! I got the anthurium regale, pallidiflorum, and queen anthurium! ❤️ Wanted to show the three new plants I got right now I’m letting them settle down at the moment. The regale one is in a glass vase which has a hole at the bottom so I used it as a pot when it was meant for a lamp 🤫

Both this Burle Marx and these naked root pots have quickly been climbing my list of favorite things. Love seeing plants wild out in spring and summer 😍

I bought this jewel orchid online for $30 and I'm the queen of cheap so that usually doesn't happen. I had to repot it today and I had to use a mix that I hadn't used before, moss, perlite and orchid back. I was so worried because I know they can be "picky" but I think it came out ok. We'll see. That little one separated so I potted it up for my niece.

I got this plant stand for a my birthday a couple weeks ago and it came with grow lights and I absolutely love it! Plus, my plants add a green touch to it, which absolutely ties it all together! ❤️ (I had to stand on top of my bed to get it all in lol and don’t mind the Marshalls bag 😔)

Propagating spider plants 🪴 pups! The mother plant is huge!

The saffron is about as big as its gonna get this time of year. I lost one slender shoot from fungus after a thorough watering with collected rain. More perlite is needed as 30% sand isn't draining fast enough.

So excited to show off my first ever air plant! Look at the before and after soaking in water!

I fell in love with this FLF before I even knew what FLF stood for. I finally went and picked him up today. Obsessed 😩💕

The propagation worked! I am beyond happy, I was so nervous to cut my adult Thai con but the prop grew roots in a week I waited a little longer and then today I potted it! I’m hoping to sell her but she is so beautiful I may have to keep her!
I love plants
I would love to see everyone’s strings of…. I have a string of bananas, a string of fishhooks, a string of pearls, and a string of hearts!!!

We went to our local farmers market a few weeks back and, as always, we visited the plant shop. That’s where I found this little guy I call ‘French Fry.’ I was shocked that I found it!! It’s getting repotted this weekend so we will see what kind of growth it gives off!

A couple of my newest additions because I went back to the store for one and then the next day I had to have the other 😆😆

Three years later, it’s finally blooming!! 🌸 This African Violet started from a single leaf propagation. Seeing its very first flowers makes the wait completely worth it! 💜

Today is my airplants watering day and I thought I’d share my routine to show off how amazing airplants can be; hopefully even convince some people to get some interesting ones. There’s no science to it, I just follow some basics. First, I know it’s time to water because the trichromes all over the plants will turn silvery instead of a fuzzy gray. I used distilled water only and every second watering is with a very weak dilution of maybe 10% the recommended strength of orchid fertilizer. All I do is fill a huge bowl about halfway with water, put the smaller plants in first and work my way to the largest last as they’ll tend to float, then I have to use a decorative pot from one of my other plants to hold them down, and top the water up to cover them. I like to do this first so I can do all my other plant care while they soak, typically 20-90 minutes. Once I’m done with the rest of my plants or am waiting for pots to stop dripping, I go take the airplants out of the water and place them upside down to dry the crown and prevent crown rot. It takes maybe 10 seconds for my 4 smallest to dry out and about 30-60 minutes for the biggest to dry. I don’t treat any of them differently except for when I first get them, they’ll have a soak in water mixed with some special soap, fungicide, and StressCoat. After they’ve all dried I return them to their displays and leave them be other than a misting here just for funsies. These photos are all from this watering session and in order are: 1: dry plants asking for water, especially the ionanthas and recurvata 2: freshly placed in the water, still slightly washed out 3: almost 100 minutes later they’re all super green and don’t float anymore, except the setacea, he’s in rehab so he always floats from having been abused in his last home 4: drying the plants with the crowns down over a paper towel I have 16 air plants of only 8 species but have another 12 new species on the way. We can also see my xerographica has flowered, he had 2 but one of them tend to die out to allow the other to take more nutrients.
