☀️Summer is here☀️ As the season starts there is still a ton of work to be done around the apartment especially with the plants. Micah and I have been trying to rearrange our storage in the apartment and it’s been difficult especially with our kitchen. This space is so difficult to cook in and since quarantine we’ve been forced to cook way more then we ever did. We finally hung some shelves for storage so hopefully we can get the space functioning a lot better soon. The plants have been generally happy and appreciative of the warmer (humid) weather but omg it feels like everything needs a fresh soil and a bigger pot 😳🙈 I’ve been transporting a few to my parents place so I can repot and my parents are starting to notice the increase in plants 😬 I keep trying to explain that these few plants are nothing compared to the 200+ back home in the apartment but they aren’t too convinced😙🌿 Here is my philodendron tortum that has been riding the struggle bus 🚌 since I got it in the fall. I wasn’t expecting it to be so sensitive so when I popped it in soil and noticed quickly that it wasn’t taking well I quickly popped it into water and left it for months. Instead of growing new leaves from what was already there it actually starting growing a new offshoot plant instead. I brought this baby to my parents so I can transfer it to perlite and I will be keeping a mini healing box there so I can keep my eye on it. If you want to know how I set up my healing box you can always check out my blog on my website apartmentbotanist.com #plantsincolor :: Happy Fathers Day to all those dads and those who had to play both roles I hope you have a wonderful day 🤗💙 :: :: :: #apartmentbotanist #philodendron #philodendronfanatic #philodendronfan #philodendrontortum #fathersday #houseplants #rareplants #wishlistplant #plantcare #newgrowth #tropicalplants #summer #solstice #nyc #nycplants #newyorkcity #pink #millennials https://www.instagram.com/p/CBtOMfPAUGl/?igshid=18cg0a0l7h1cf
