My Plant Collection
Aloe: This one is doing pretty well but it does loose a leaf every once in a while.
Bamboo: This bamboo has changed very little since I got it. It may have gotten slightly bigger but I’m not even sure. The leaves will get a little brown on the ends.
Polka-Dot-Plant: This one looked totally different when I first got it. The leaves were very pink. A bunch of them fell off and it started to grow longer and more like a vine. I’m not really sure if it’s happy or not.
Lily: I think this is a peace lily but I’m not 100% sure. It lost all of it’s flowers right away and hasn’t grown any new ones. It almost died at my old apartment because I watered it too much. I managed to save it and now it is doing better. It always does a good job of showing me when it needs water. the leaves will lay flat and get really wilted. I really need to dust the leaves off.
Neanthebella: This is one of my newer plants but it is doing pretty well. If it dies, I’d buy another because it’s easy to care for and I really like how it looks.
Sarah the Monstera: This is my giant Monstera. It’s my favorite plant because it’s just so massive and tropical looking. It has never really had much of an issue until I moved. I had it in the living room and it wasn’t getting enough light. I recently moved it into the bedroom and it seems to be doing better. Some of the leaves will occasionally turn brown. Overall I am surprised that I managed to keep it alive. It’s hasn’t been very hard.
I have always been a plant lover, even though it may not seem like it. I don’t have a ton of plants but I live in a one bedroom apartment so it’s hard to find space. Also, I’ve had quite a few die recently. I am not amazing or terrible with plants. I do kill them sometimes but I have managed to keep quite a few alive. It’s difficult because the lighting in my apartment isn’t the best. I just love how plants feel when they are indoor. I kind of feel like a room isn’t complete unless it has a plant. When I have a house I hope to have a huge garden with flowers and vegetables. When I was younger I wanted my entire house to be like a greenhouse and I thought I would live in a treehouse (indoor), with bridges and rope ladders. Clearly, a bit unrealistic. I guess it’s still possible but not really what I still want. I’ve decided to share what houseplants I currently have just because I like to talk about them. Also, I can always use advice if you are really good with them. One thing I need to get better at is remembering what they are called and actually researching how to care for each one.
