Sharing is caring and this gorgeous cutting (or I should say cuttings plural) was shared with me by my friend Brown Allen. There are multiple stems so if anyone local would like one, please let me know.

I couldn’t resist this Dancing Bones Cactus. I had a $15 Ace Hardware coupon and knew I would end up leaving with some kind of plant. Easy to propagate so if anyone local wants a snippet just let me know.

IKEA plant finds. There is not always a lot of variety but their plants are always very healthy looking and great prices. On the heels of my last post, I have had both of these plants before so let’s see how it goes. Both of them I did have for years so pretty optimistic. A lady at ikea also looking at plants told me to water the Calathea with distilled water bc they are sensitive to the additives in tap water.

Are there plants you have bought/owned more than once and they die every time? These are just a few of mine…Calathea, variegated ficus triangularis, creeping fig ivy, birds nest fern, orchids…. And will I buy again? Maybe….

Thanksgiving cactus is getting ready to show off! It’s so worth the wait all year long for this time. And my pencil cactus did not want to be outdone and is displaying some beautiful orange and red.

It doesn’t have to be fancy. I like to experiment with propagating all off my cuttings. This is my latest propagation station with a simple Tupperware filled with potting soil, perlite and vermiculite. Then topped with a plastic dome to keep the humidity up. Some are successful and some are not. What have you had success with?

Other than being extra thirsty, this purple oxalis triangularis is pretty low maintenance. During the summer it has cute little purple flowers that bloom. I’m trying to get it to be a little more full and less leggy. Regardless it is one of my favorites and I love seeing how the leaves close at night and open up when the sun comes out.

Propagated this adorable dwarf zz plant by separating a few rhizomes to share. Message me if you are local and interested. 😍

I love this variegated ficus triangularis, but it has lost probably 75% of its leaves since I brought it home. I have read that they are finicky when their environment changes and I have tried to keep it consistent but it is still not happy. This is my second try and possibly my last if it can’t survive. Send me any tips!
