Five years ago, I went to a clay class (garden theme) and we painted a gnome pot. They gave me a spider plant to put inside the pot. I instantly fell in love with taking care of it and ended up researching at ton of different plants. Now I have 60+ plants.

I picked up a houseplant book from Home Depot 25 years ago! There were so many cool plants in there that I had never seen including a “porcelain flower”. It took me another 10 years before I found one. Hoyas were unheard of in Idaho apparently. 😂😂

I'm glad you found your porcelain flower!! 😁

I’ve always wanted live houseplants but we always had cats. They’d always dig in the soil and knock them off whatever they were displayed on. Found out I am allergic to cats so we waited until they passed away one by one. Then I started buying houseplant like crazy!🥰

my obsession with plants started when I went to the nursery to get some soil, but I saw it. A cute pothos, and I’ve been collecting ever since. My current collection of pothos are golden, neon, sunshine goddess, marble queen, snow queen, lemon meringue, global green, pearls and jade, skeleton key, Cebu blue, Baltic blue, and n’joy. I only need manjula and jade pothos.
