I've always liked nature and plants, but lately I've been super into houseplants. I want to see the beautiful greenery around me.
Tell me what are you doing now that spring is here!

Please tell me about your journey with houseplants and which ones you have! Share your stories, tips and pictures with all of us!

@sunny: I have some fake ones too! I try to get ones that look real.
It must be hard to take care of real plants because it's cold in the UK (to the plants). I heard that Snake Plants do really well if you just don't take care of them lol (I don't have them because I have pets)
And thanks for saying they look good. The 1st pic is just them the night I got them. So that was the store that did a great job lol. The 2nd pic is me taking care of those since Aug but the pic was taken yesterday.

@koneko: Your Monstera is so pretty! How long have you had it in water? Your succulents are cute. Do they grow slow or fast? I also like the little green Dino you have lol

@sunny: Haha tell your mom to teach you her tips. I've been learning a lot about plants in the past week. Different kinds have different requirements and want different things. It can be hard to keep track. Does your mom have any other plants?

Oh I see. I should remember that if I decided to propagate any of my plants. I haven't looked into that subject much but maybe I should because one of my prayer plants like to only grow out of one side, so maybe I could cut it off at a node and then grow new roots in water that way.
I'm sure it will like the extra humidity? Or it is not a tropical plant?

I did see on reddit someone that said they used a rooting hormone to have the propagations grow faster, but I don't know how much it costs or if it would be worth it anyway. If a plant is only growing in water will it need fertilizer ? Sorry for all of the questions lol

Ok. I will remember the two or more nodes rule for the prayer plants. I watched a video yesterday on propagating Perperomias and it said you could just take one leaf and a little stem and it will grow a whole new plant! Kinda like how a succulent does.
My cat bit one of my plants for the first time today. It was the one I just got with big leaves. Well one of them now has two holes in them.

@sunny: those are so pretty but I have no idea what it’s like taking care of one of those. Probably tough?

@sunny: I'm pretty sure I've overwatered my prayer plants in the beginning but now I'm sticking to waiting longer for more water. I thought that since they were tropical that they would always want to be watered, but that's not the case.
I also try to keep mine in a place where I can see them. Before winter they were downstairs in the kitchen. So I could check on them while I was cooking lunch.

Oh, I have so many plants! Mostly cacti, succulents, a spider plant, a couple of snake plants, two aloe vera and I'm probably forgetting some lol

So I don't think I can show them all off lol But I can show some! xD Also apologizes for the purple hue of the photos it's my plant light~!






I also have a red cactus of the same species!
