I truly can't remember my first one. Growing up I helped my grandmother with her plants. She had a small collection, which I never paid attention to what their official names were. But, the one that I loved the most was a purple wandering "dude". It hanged over her kitchen sink, the silver, purple color was gorgeous. Although, I've primarily only had a pothos, snake, and spider plants until the last couple of years, when I decided to branch out and grow my collection (puns intended 🤣)

Very special memory❤️! The wandering “dude” got me😂

Beautiful! Congratulations!

Cacti, dragon tree, and pothos were my OGs for prob 8 to 10 yrs. About 4 or 5 yrs ago i grabbed a bueatiful hanging purple heart at the farmers market around the same time i tranistioned to full remote work. Prior to that i spent over 3.5 hrs in commute on top of my workd day and just didnt have the time or energy for plants but i have always loved plants. And now i have 250🤣🤣. Aside from pothos and purple heart props, the rest are all different kinds. I love them all.

#### PLANTS!!🪴🌱 replied on 2026-06-13

Awesome start! As you saw in my post, my first plant was a pothos.

That’s what started my plant journey too! Started as a small hanger that my husband bought us for our first house and now this is her! Girlfrond!
