Plant Updates

So plant your own gardens and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. -Jorge Luis Borges

Repotted this beauty today while cleaning the cabinet. She’s getting so many new variegated leaves!!! I was even able to take two variegated starter plants from underneath the top bush

My first big velvety plant purchase from a shop that just opened up locally, Emily’s Greenhouse. This is definitely the most expensive cutting I’ve paid for but it’s also my current favorite!! In fact it’s got me eyeing up a few other velvety philos which might join the collection soon🤡. Peep the new leaf unfurling as well!

Philodendron melanochrysum

Alocasia Amazonica- “bambino”

꧁----------------------------------------------꧂

I saw this guy struggling at Walmart for like $5 and had to try and save him. He came home with 2/3 of his leaves rotted which had to be snipped off :( just this past week a new one shot out and opened and now the second new leaf is doing the same! I love the purple tips of the new growth!

Rehab plant update!

I got this Calathea network in the mail around early February when we were experiencing low lows in temperature. Even with a heat pack it struggled to make it after being left at the post office for the weekend. I have done everything under the sun to keep this alive. I’ve split the roots, hydrogen peroxide them, propagated them, taken the roots out of propagation stations and moved to soil, and then just stuck it’s remaining bits in this new pot and placed them in my cabinet. With nothing peaking the surface for weeks, something started to slowly present itself leading rise to a few little nubbins peaking the soil. With tons of humidity and luck later here she is, displaying herself so stunningly with new growth to spare. ❤️‍🔥🥹❤️‍🔥 This is her redemption arc <3

PLANT HAUL FROM BOTANICAZ!!

These are some of the most rare/uncommon plants that I’ve ever bought with the gigas and burle Marx fantasy being “mystery” plants. I’ll definitely be shopping at BOTANICAZ again and highly recommend them to anyone and everyone who appreciated houseplants! They even have 70% off sales going the majority of the time so what’s the harm ;).

Philodendron ‘Majestic’-VERRUCOSUM X SODIROI hybrid

Philodendron ‘Burle Marx Fantasy’- thought to have come from Burle Marx’s own collection of aroids

Philodendron ‘Gigas’- climbing philo from Panama!

Philodendron ‘Verracosum’ ♡︎♡︎

Philodendron ‘Camposportoanum’ cuttings
