I'm screaming!! One of my Ctenanthe Setosa is blooming! 😱💚🥹 And it is not just one flower...

Definitely expect videos about the process, but I just couldn't not post something right away! 😬

Full disclosure, I've never seen their flowers in real life so I'm 100% excited!

My new Maranta Leuconeura var. Erythroneura, which I staked when I brought it home! All 3 stems were leaning over one side of the pot and I wanted to give her a lil more direction. She’s got two leaves in the process of unfurling and she’s just going to get taller and taller 😍

I thought of this in the shower and had to make it

Why are prayer plants (Maranta Leuconeura) so fascinating??! All of them are so gorgeous, intriguing and alive! 💚

They love:

-Medium indirect light

-Let the soil dry well between watering sessions

-I also add 1-2 tablespoons of coffee grounds

The stromanthe sanguinea plant is just fabulous.

Yes, it's a bit temperamental. Yes, it needs high humidity. Yes, I killed my first one. But damn, that leaf structure, texture & colors are phenomenal. Don't you think?

Now, I do provide high humidity, medium to low indirect light. I've grown this one for about a year now.

Find the repeated plants! 🪴 There's 3, variegation difference doesn't count.

If you don't know the name, describe the plant or the location.

These are second floor plant shelves. I got the shelves at IKEA. They were really not expensive at all and I've had them since 2019. I always move plants around and add more plants every now and then.

If there's any plants that intrigue you, please let me know in the comments!

Our youngest and alpha of the group, Mochi.

She is our 1 year old Shiba. When we joined our family, she was definitely into my houseplants and outdoor plants.

I was able to train her not to touch the indoor plants, she quickly noticed the change in my soul, energy and voice 😵‍💫

However, she has been dedicated to destroying and eating anything I attempted to plant in my garden bed. Last year I grew a lot of stuff from seed and I was so damn excited and she ate them all, like the whole thing, she would even pull the roots! 🤯

Solution: Next month my husband is going to build a wood cover, so it stops her from getting in (Evil laugh).

Have you trained your dogs? Are they interested in your houseplants?

The drama queen P5 👑 Calathea Warscewiczii!

She was just thirsty, because I forgot to water her just by a day or so.
