Shooting star 🌠 hoya or Hoya multiflora is one of my favorites. 💚 It reliably blooms 🌸 and doesn't need full sun 🌓 to do so. If you thought you needed full sun to have a hoya bloom and don't have that, this one is for you. Its flowers 🌸 do drip quite a bit of nectar, so make sure it isnt over a piece of furniture or carpeting. (Swipe to see the flower dripping.) It has thin succulent leaves 🍃- much thinner than most hoyas, so it needs water less often. I do still have it in my cacti/succulent potting medium, but it could use a heavier mix as it is more like a "normal" houseplant. Do you have a hoya and is it blooming? . . #thehouseplantguru #flowersofinstagram #hoyaflowers #hoyasofInstagram #hoyamultiflora #succulentsofinstagram #succulents #greenyourfeed #house_plant_community #houseplant #indoorplants #get_planted #urbanjungle #plantnerd #houseplantsmakemehappy #plantsmakepeoplehappy #bhghome #apartmenttherapy https://www.instagram.com/p/CAu2jV0A_P7/?igshid=1nwu2gwub6t6i

Had to share another picture for Valentine's Day I found on my phone. This is Ficus triangularis variegata and the variegation makes the heart. I love it! . . #valentinesdayplants #heartshapedleaves #arentplantsgreat #houseplants #indoorplants #urbanjungle #greenyourfeed #get_planted #plantsmakepeoplehappy #bhghome #house_plant_community #gardenchat #houseplantbookauthor https://www.instagram.com/p/B8juRtlB_za/?igshid=jpugzp78gbga

I know unfurling was last week's word (I don't even have one this week) but I had to show you this Calathea lancifolia (now Goeppertia). Look how gorgeous this rolled up leaf🌿 is. Some of these pictures are taken with the #easymacro lens. The burgundy underside is showing its beauty and when it unfurls the top is green with dark green markings 💚 and is also called the rattlesnake 🐍 plant. Make sure to give it high humidity, don't let it dry out, and use distilled water when watering. Calatheas are in the marantaceae family along with the prayer 🙏 plant, and they do not like the chemicals in our water, 💧 (usually only municipal water) especially fluoride which does not dissipate by letting your water sit overnight like the chlorine does. The chemicals and/or inconsistent watering will cause brown tips, edges, and spots on the foliage. This is a beautiful family of foliage plants which do flower 🌸 but may not in your home. They prefer a medium light- no high light, please. Do you have a calathea or prayer plant? . . #thehouseplantguru #calatheasofinstagram #calathea #highhumidityneeded #rattlesnakeplant #houseplanthelp #unfurlingleaves #flauntyourfoliage #house_plant_community #greenyourfeed #houseplants #indoorplants #fancyfoliage #whoneedsflowers #get_planted #plantparent #plantnerd https://www.instagram.com/p/CAFpKc3A45n/?igshid=18b39duouhnax

This is my mom's fern 🌿 she received at her wedding 💒 shower in 1957 from my great grandmother. She gave it to me when she went to live with my brother's family. My piece of the this fern 🌿 is in my living room gifted to me when I got married in 1985. Mom loved this fern and had it in her east window for almost 60 years. I recently gave mom a piece propagated from her fern 🌿 for her room, so it is back with her. I will see mom today over Zoom and am thankful for that. Happy Mother's Day 💚 to all the moms out there! . . #thehouseplantguru #momsfern #happymothersday #familyplants #sentimentalplants #fernlove #iloveferns #fernsofinstagram #greenyourfeed #get_planted #house_plant_community #houseplants #indoorplants #plantnerd https://www.instagram.com/p/CAA-FX1Aq4e/?igshid=l455p9069tr0

The Madagascar palm 🌴 or Pachypodium lamerei is not a palm at all, but is native to the island of Madagascar. Because of its growth pattern of a long trunk with just a few leaves at the top, it resembles a small palm tree 🌴 as it ages. I've had mine for a long time (probably over 15 years) and it's almost hitting the roof in the sun room. I'm going to be sad when it has to go... Though it has spines, this plant is not a cactus but a succulent with stipular spines. These spines, as you can see are not surrounded by an areole, the indicator that it would be a cactus. The spines are wicked and more than once I have bumped into it.... 😬 They do flower, 🌸 but mine never has. Treat it like a succulent, giving it as much light ☀️ as possible- a south or west window is perfect 👌 and water when almost dry. ✳ Remember, whether a cactus or other succulent, or a water loving fern, water 💧 EVERY plant until the water runs out of the drainage hole and the potting medium is entirely wet. Then water when the plant NEEDS it again. (NEVER on a set schedule!) It may be a week or a month or more, depending on the plant. ✳ . . #thehouseplantguru #madagascarmonday #succulent #stipularspines #donttouchme #notapalmtree #houseplant #indoorplants #greenyourfeed #sunroomplant #succulentsofinstagram #houseplantlife #house_plant_community #houseplantsrock #get_planted #spinyplants https://www.instagram.com/p/CAVFgcug7G3/?igshid=ordt05x65g0t

I bought this jewel orchid-Anoectochilus burmannicus at an orchid show in the spring. I wouldn't care if it never bloomed as the foliage is gorgeous. Pictures can't do it justice. I was excited to see that the flowers are yellow. . . #terrestrialorchid #orchid #yellowflowers #flowersofinstagram #flowerstalking #orchidsofinstagram #houseplantsrock #urbanjungle #house_plant_community #gardenchat #indoorplant #greenyourfeed #get_planted #plantsmakepeoplehappy #bhghome #betterhomesandgardens #plantaddict #plantnerd #planthoarder #flauntyourleaves #apartmenttherapy #houseplantbookauthor #houseplantexpert #Iwritehouseplantbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B4YmGXLAyY3/?igshid=zwseatqegglf

My Sansevieria masoniana 'Whale Fin' (I call it Mason's Congo') is having a baby. I noticed it a couple of weeks ago when the kitty knocked the whole thing on the floor. The plant was faced so I couldn't see it. . . #babyplants #sansevieria #houseplants #indoorplants #urbanjungle #house_plant_community #gardenchat #houseplantsrock #leaveonlyleaves #whoneedsflowers #findyourplant #greenyourfeed #get_planted #plantsmakepeoplehappy #bhghome #betterhomesandgardens #plantaddict #plantnerd #planthoarder #flauntyourleaves #apartmenttherapy https://www.instagram.com/p/B17uL2Jh2UY/?igshid=1bohb42sc3eqq

Know this flower? You can slide to the other pictures to see the whole plant. It is my 'Moonshine' sansevieria which is in my west window and has been for years! This is the first time it has bloomed. I did recently (in the last 6 months) up-pot it as it was busting out of its pot. The weird thing is the side NOT facing the window is blooming. No I don't turn my plants as often as I should. You would think it would be the side of the plant getting the most sun. Also, check out the picture with the nectar dripping off the flowers.
