It’s , so here’s a little living world for you.

Under the glass: Episcia “Pink Smoke” with its fuzzy, rosy leaves, Ficus sp. “Panama” creeping along the cork, Peperomia emarginella spreading its tiny round leaves into a green carpet, and Fittonia “Joly Lemon” adding a pop of bright veining. All four love humidity, so a closed jar suits them well.

And yes, the pink kitty stays. He’s earned his spot. 😸

It’s , so let’s talk about the one that’s more hole than leaf. 🌿

This is Monstera obliqua “Peru.”
All those windows (the plant word is fenestrations) let light reach the lower leaves, and it makes for a seriously striking plant on a shelf. It’s a much friendlier way into the obliqua look: bright, indirect light, a chunky airy soil mix, and decent humidity keep it happy.

Local to Edmonton?
We offer free local pickup.
Local delivery is also available.

Prefer to pick your plant in person?
It’ll be with us at Naturecore on October 24th, along with plenty of other amazing plants.
Come say hi and find your next obsession.

It’s , and we’ve got a trio worth looking at.

Scindapsus Jade Satin: rich green leaves with a velvety, satin finish.
Jade Satin Tricolor Variegated: that same satin leaf, marbled in cream and lime.
Scindapsus Tricolor: heavy silver and light green splash on every dark green leaf.

People often call these “satin pothos,” but they’re their own genus. They’re also one of the easiest plants for beginners, because the leaves curl when they want water, so you never have to guess.

Free local pickup.
Local delivery across Edmonton.
Order online at upwegrowtropicals.com.

If you’d rather see them in person, we’ll be at the Naturecore on Saturday Oct 24th with all three and plenty of other amazing plants. Stop by our table and say hello.

Happy ! 🌿

This week’s lineup has range:

Philodendron Sun Red: glossy, fire-red new growth that slowly shifts to bronze and green
Philodendron El Choco Red: big velvety heart-shaped leaves with bright veins, and every new leaf opens red
Philodendron Melanochrysum Variegated: golden-veined velvet with variegation, so every leaf is a little different

If you’re local, pickup is free and we offer local delivery too, so getting one home is easy.

You can also find all three at the upcoming Naturecore show on October 24th, along with plenty of other plants we’re bringing. Stop by, ask us anything, and find your next plant.

How often do you water your plants? 💧
If you answered with a number, you might be asking the wrong question.

Plants don’t follow a schedule. They follow conditions: the air in your home, the soil they’re in, how full the pot is with roots, and whether they’re actively growing. All four shift through the year (hello, furnace season).

Our latest Obsession Files post breaks down each one, plus what to do instead of watering by the calendar. 🌿
