Or you think it’s cool and you just bought it that works too ☘️🌱🌵 ## 12 commentaires ### Adrian a commenté le 2025-06-10 It’s way too hard for me to put my plants into a top 3, so I’m just gonna share a few of my favorites. These two are jades. The first I got from Ott’s Exotic Plants, which is a gorgeous plant nursery in my area that I highly recommend checking out. I named her Elena in honor of my abuela. Her 60+ year-old jade is still kicking, and I’ve got a cutting of that jade that’s turning 30 this year that she gifted my mother when she bought her first home. She’s the one that started my love of houseplants, and I’ll always remember her singing to the birds in our garden, so I like having a little piece of her in our new home. The second is a variegated jade I bought off Etsy. She was a bit of a horror story. Opened the box she came in, unwrapped her, and a bunch of earwigs came crawling out 😱 Nearly dropped her in shock. She was pretty withered from the travel, and I was terrified that there were earwigs in my house or hiding in my garden from unboxing it. I’m very thankful that I never spotted any others after that day 😮‍💨 She perked back up after one watering and she’s been great since. Her name’s Bianca. ![Pièce jointe 1 sur 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/CQyscbeN5f0KZltdaSyx3VQZZh8uHYoaKDmCZlFICjE/y8P6KDpbQnu3Z6zjaIKoww.webp?size=large) ![Pièce jointe 2 sur 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/CQyscbeN5f0KZltdaSyx3VQZZh8uHYoaKDmCZlFICjE/gCZkCCINTzKfxgbD5NwQjA.webp?size=large) ![Pièce jointe 3 sur 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/CQyscbeN5f0KZltdaSyx3VQZZh8uHYoaKDmCZlFICjE/8f86flYURoKIufdt1DbpOQ.webp?size=large) ![Pièce jointe 4 sur 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/CQyscbeN5f0KZltdaSyx3VQZZh8uHYoaKDmCZlFICjE/Ird8BNyyRdiP8UXj32GZxA.webp?size=large) #### Adrian ha respondido el 2025-06-10 The other 2 I’ll share (and yes, I’m adding 4 here, cause I can’t pick just 3 😂) are my watermelon peperomia, Wanda, and my Sweet and Sour Variegated Peperomia Obtusifolia, Penny. Wanda is technically my dad’s. She was a Father’s Day gift to him, but I take care of her for him. She’s from Etsy. Penny was the first houseplant I ever bought for myself and might be the one most special to me, aside from 30 year old jade I take care of for my mom. She’s grown like a weed since the day I bought her, she was $7 at the County Line Nursery, and I swear she’s got a new set of leaves in the works every 2 weeks. I don’t even fertilize her. She’s just a little nut. The first photo of her is the most recent and the second is after having her for about a month. She lived in a weirdly tall pot in the shape of a Solo cup when I bought her. She’s been this giant peperomia in my windowsill since I got her out of that weird little cup she was crammed into ever since. ![Pièce jointe 1 sur 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/CQyscbeN5f0KZltdaSyx3VQZZh8uHYoaKDmCZlFICjE/zmXh9upvQuKfARIoBEvrlA.webp?size=large) ![Pièce jointe 2 sur 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/CQyscbeN5f0KZltdaSyx3VQZZh8uHYoaKDmCZlFICjE/PkVs0kM8THOeAxc8Bf-XvA.webp?size=large) ![Pièce jointe 3 sur 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/CQyscbeN5f0KZltdaSyx3VQZZh8uHYoaKDmCZlFICjE/NibhVZTwRkGrrLfD6DWMUQ.webp?size=large) ![Pièce jointe 4 sur 4](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/CQyscbeN5f0KZltdaSyx3VQZZh8uHYoaKDmCZlFICjE/Yj3fzFneRnmnvV6USWJpvQ.webp?size=large) #### happysoxdonkey ha respondido el 2025-06-10 Your plants are gorgeous. Do you remember the seller name on Etsy where you got Wanda? She’s a lovely plant. #### Kyoda ha respondido el 2025-06-10 Ohhh I really like the one that you was holding outside that’s super cute I love it I want it I need a link to get it 😂 #### Adrian ha respondido el 2025-06-10 I can’t attach a link, sadly, but here’s a screenshot that gives the seller’s name. I got mine on sale, but if you’re willing to pay $20 for it, it was in great shape despite the long trip through the mail. Be prepared for the possibility that some of the leaves might be damaged from the trip, though. ![Pièce jointe 1 sur 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/CQyscbeN5f0KZltdaSyx3VQZZh8uHYoaKDmCZlFICjE/NW3hM4t8R3-IU4Om8LDhUg.webp?size=large) ### Candy a commenté le 2025-06-10 The neon pothos was gifted to me when my mom passed last year. It was my first plant, and what got me into this crazy houseplant life. She was 1/4 the size and gave me the confidence that I could keep green things alive. The Chinese money plant had 2 leaves when given to me. Since this picture, she has given me 4 more leaves, so I have officially declared her returned from the dead. And the pink princess is just so darned cool. ![Pièce jointe 1 sur 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/clIrdzrtj-LOnbh7mahJrNSUQjd3L1O5Zvw1wnlmnKo/dmMRrPL0QDCv9G1hUfU2BA.webp?size=large) ![Pièce jointe 2 sur 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/clIrdzrtj-LOnbh7mahJrNSUQjd3L1O5Zvw1wnlmnKo/pUeocwLTREyodEkEu-ACBw.webp?size=large) ![Pièce jointe 3 sur 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/clIrdzrtj-LOnbh7mahJrNSUQjd3L1O5Zvw1wnlmnKo/hfJJoioKRpOdXn73rdxJZw.webp?size=large) ### Jneyman a commenté le 2025-06-10 First is “Papa Vine”. My daughter and I got a single pothos cutting at the 4H tent at a town festival 4 years ago. Cuttings from this one original vine have created over a dozen planters of pothos around our house and gifts for others. He also triggered my love for house plants and propagation watching him grow all these years. 2\. My monstera propogation. I cut him off a plant in my office and carried him home on the subway. Got LOTS of look LOL 3\. Janet and my Janet Babies - my Dracaena Janet Craig was a gift from my mother in law. It’s the first large and questionable propogation I did. Takes a lot more effort and patience than a pothos but seeing Janet and her cuttings thrive has been so cool! ![Pièce jointe 1 sur 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/MfjKoB4A4b2hmOmzLr-VecRoGYQYbzBHHUs1G7W9aVw/0QDAhXnsRS6Qv8WAG75NyA.webp?size=large) ![Pièce jointe 2 sur 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/MfjKoB4A4b2hmOmzLr-VecRoGYQYbzBHHUs1G7W9aVw/zcGDhzf8Q6OSdd8GLtbcVw.webp?size=large) ![Pièce jointe 3 sur 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/MfjKoB4A4b2hmOmzLr-VecRoGYQYbzBHHUs1G7W9aVw/uHjjXBU1SY2bkGG0cjsjvQ.webp?size=large) ### MattL a commenté le 2025-06-10 Okay, top 3! 1\) hibiscus cooperi, because I love variegation and this alleged hothouse flower survived a week in single-digit temps when the post office lost it on the way to my new place! 2\) false aralia "Gold Coast"--literally the same. Love the variegation and the leaf shape and survived the Big Freeze. 3\) cymbidium sinense - the new red shoots on this are crazy. Maybe one day it will bloom but not sure if I care! ![Pièce jointe 1 sur 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/kB_vNslITYiEEhKexo-FhuY3jFaLvKj-8_vu6VP3Gx8/oHP-wyK4S0ebwSUAKxR8lQ.webp?size=large) ![Pièce jointe 2 sur 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/kB_vNslITYiEEhKexo-FhuY3jFaLvKj-8_vu6VP3Gx8/9GSMqo-1SQijOzlZghKG9A.webp?size=large) ![Pièce jointe 3 sur 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/kB_vNslITYiEEhKexo-FhuY3jFaLvKj-8_vu6VP3Gx8/LBqDVGWQRJagfwnjh6WFRg.webp?size=large) ### Ginger C a commenté le 2025-06-10 My top 3 change frequently. I have 2 orchids that I got from grandmother’s house when she passed away. And those I baby with kid gloves but they aren’t flowering right now. And while I’ve had orchids for years, I’ve only recently branched into houseplants. So as of this moment, my 3 faves are my Hoya compacta baby that I found at a random nursery in someone’s backyard for $5, my Hoya Krimson Queen Tricolor that I gifted myself after a particularly hard day, and my orchid cactus that I also found at that same nursery in the side of the road for $7. ![Pièce jointe 1 sur 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/LeYCE1JvHCd74SoR46rcrleVurOgU1kT5wHIa4vLIc4/o73vD_-pTyqt7qajY8XKew.webp?size=large) ![Pièce jointe 2 sur 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/LeYCE1JvHCd74SoR46rcrleVurOgU1kT5wHIa4vLIc4/JSSH53QRQr2jSC9szoXCsQ.webp?size=large) ![Pièce jointe 3 sur 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/LeYCE1JvHCd74SoR46rcrleVurOgU1kT5wHIa4vLIc4/DWA2L722RkOuAT761WBKBQ.webp?size=large) ### Plant Dad a commenté le 2025-06-10 My favorite plant in my collection is my rattlesnake calathea. When I first started getting into plants, the pictures always caught my attention when I saw them online. Shortly after, I saw them at Home Depot and it was love at first sight; I had to have it. It was my first calathea and only my second plant in my collection. It has more than doubled in size from when I got it about 1.5 years ago ![Pièce jointe 1 sur 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/YpwDREGtOupvmjqHpX41q547YsYe8tg3EU3RXXSO548/UoZnsmS4RxmwpE8ofXt8Vw.webp?size=large) #### Kyoda ha respondido el 2025-06-10 They sell plants at Home D?! I’m going have to as this to my collection!! ### Plant Dad a commenté le 2025-06-10 They do; I've gotten a lot of my plants there. Give them a good look over before bringing them home though. Many people will say they are infested with pests; I personally just give them a good shower and spray them down with Bioadvanced 3 in 1; I've never had an issue. --- _La communauté Planta (https://getplanta.com).
