State of the Plants 2018: upstairs plants that live in my dresser: a long-suffering sunburnt dracanea, bamboo I stole from my old office, and succulent cuttings deciding if they want to root or not downstairs: some tiny weird Norfolk pines? and a diffenbachia, the aloe and leggy seedlings are my housemate’s Middle horizontal pic is all the plants that live in the sunny window downstairs, and closeups of some of the babies also the rosemary that lives outside bc I saw it at the grocery store and my brain blared ROSEMARY FOR PROTECTION so loudly I bought it reblog with annotations coming in a hot minute
