Sometimes you gotta take a rare selfie to show you made an effort that day.

Because my aralia ming just didn't want to live anymore, I saved some leaves & propagated them. Going to try a semi-hydroponic setup to see if that makes them happy.

Look at my string of tears! I got 3 cuttings off Etsy where the seller told me to propagate in water (which was wrong), 2 out of my 3 cuttings died. But since correctly putting my last cutting in soil, she's flourishing. #plantsky #indoorplants #houseplants #photography #stringoftears #plantmom

Extended my plant family today. Was at the grocery store when I saw this Begonia Maculata begging to be saved. She's now in fresh new soil & in a new pot that actually fits her.

Another day, another new plant.
Ficus Elastica Tineke.
She's been on my wishlist for a while.
The garden centre I got her from had her buried in too deep in soaking wet soil. So she was asking to be rescued.

New(ish) read. I started this a couple of years ago but stopped for whatever reason. But I decided to pick it up again & I'm determined to finish it.

My monstera hadn't given me a new leaf since June of last year. I thought something was wrong but it turns out she was just taking her time 😊 there's also another new leaf coming through too.

Whenever my schefflera puts out new leaves they look like little jazz hands 👋

Current books I'm reading. These were just random pick ups. There's no rhyme or reasoning behind what I choose.

I'm so in love with how vibrant marantas are. I got her from a clearance rack like 6/7 months ago & she's been thriving ever since I brought her home.

Decided to make my own trellis for my maturing Hoya. It's not perfect but I like how it looks.

Apparently the Scottish Borders are thrips central. Love that for my plants 😭😭😭😭

Its been a while since I purchased a plant, but this was only £2.99 & I couldn't say no. Say hello to my Moon Valley Pilea, ain't she pretty?!

My Hoya Flamingo Dream has been coming along nicely since I got her back in December.

Since I'm now settled in my new home, I can get back into reading. I think the stress & anxiety had put me off reading for quite a few months. But thankfully I'm back into it & spent all morning reading this. It's very good so far!

So pretty. Was out for a walk & was practically surrounded by these.

My syngonium red heart is finally getting her red colouring back. Over the colder months she went a bit green but now that Spring has sprung, her colours are coming back.

Uuuuuuuuugh I'm moving house on the 20th of May & all I can think about is how I'm going to maneuver 24 plants in one day. As well as a shit ton of books, clothes & basically everything. Send help.
