I press a lot of my houseplant leaves when I prune and today I arranged some of them in this large frame. Was extremely challenging but managed to make it look pretty nice without damaging any leaves. Caladium leaves are especially delicate once dried, thinner than tissue paper.

this is a really beautiful arrangement! i also press houseplant leaves sometimes but have never thought to make a shadowbox arrangement with them. it shows off the diversity in your collection very well

Ooo wow! Such a great composition and I’m loving the variety of shapes, colors, and veins! How did you do this?

Thanks. I pressed them in a big book.

I’m curious… I’ve mainly seen your Hoyas. How many plants do you have??

#### Cherrybergher replied on 2023-11-01

About 300 houseplants all crammed into my small livingroom.
