I have a ton of plants around my house and this is a small collection I put together behind my work desk! It includes:

  • Philodendron lemon lime
  • Global green pothos
  • Tradescantia nanouk
  • Pepperomia pilea
  • Zz plant
  • Aglaonema cherry
  • Curly spider plant (bonnie)

      Honestly it took a long time to figure out what it wants. It’s been a struggle but I found that it wants bright indirect light, consistent fertilizer and I never take off the babies so it hides the bare bottom of the stem. If you let the babies just grow it will make it overall much bushier!

    In awe of people who have the dedication and patience to make plants thrive like this, all my kudos.

    (I’ve managed to accidentally kill off several Zanzibar gold and Snake plants…)

      To be fair, I live in a very sunny and pretty humid place and all my plants are super happy about that. It really helps a lot.

    Looks so nice. My gf will love this. I’m excited to start sharing her mass collection of house plants here as we settle into our new home.

    My cat destroyed my pilea when it was just a baby with 3 leaves and I think it’s taken it as a challenge. It’s growing like crazy and has a couple babies I was super tempted to do something with but I’ll retstrain myself and leave them alone.

      I’m glad it survived! And yeah once you find a good spot for it it really thrives and grows fast. And keeping the babies attached makes it look much fuller so Ive been keeping mine in there as a well.

    Love the Tradescantia! I got one like it two weeks ago. Has it flowered for you?

      Not yet! I’ve been trying to propagate it to make it more fuller but its not liking it too much. I think I just need to stop fiddling with it.
