I’m looking to get a new plant or two or 8 lol but I’m just not sure what to get. I have about 45 plants now so I’m open to whatever plant ideas you guys have.

My favorite plant in my collection is my Rattlesnake Plant. Such a cool looking plant.

Looking at the plants that you have..I love my prince of orange philo, ogre ears (very cool) and Florida green! I just started to get into Hoyas.. if they bloom for me by spring.. I will get more!

Thats one plant I don’t have. A Hoya. The hair salon I go to has a few of them there. Tempting.

I just love super interesting plants

Loving my Hoya! I’d recommend for sure!

Perhaps a tradescantia, african violet, or cactus?

Those all sound great. I was actually looking into some succulents for my entry way for on top of the long table. I’m looking into some colorful ones.

Just an FYI. Your Chinese evergreen is actually a calathea. So you can be mindful of its care needs. Good luck 🍀

What’s Crazy is that plant has been bulletproof for me haha. It’s never given me any issues

Well disregard. Cause you are obviously doing something right! Doesn’t matter what you call it if it’s happy! 😆Good job!

If you are looking for easy pretty plants I love my syngoniums. I think I have 17 varieties at this point. I also love my Colocasia Pharoah’s Mask and my Colocasia Black Coral. Also my Philo Dean McDowell. Pretty much any philo. Monstera Peru grow fast and are super easy.
