I thought these mums from last season had all died off. Cleaning out this planter has continuously been pushed down my priority list and today I’m glad for it. I may have missed out on these fresh blooms. Now cleaning up and making space for this new growth has moved up on my list 😅

Is it just me, or are they staring at me AND judging?!

I love seeing this new and strong growth coming from this Aloe that has been through a lot. Maybe it’s just because I need the reminder right now, but seeing this new growth supported by this old growth is such a good example of resilience!

Lucky enough to see these incredible leaves at a family member’s ranch over this last summer. Beautiful and fascinating!

I’m still thinking about this Christmas cactus I managed to not bring home with me from the market. 😍

My Money Tree has started struggling. I moved her into a different lighting so I am thinking she is adjusting to that. I think she also needs to be repotted into a smaller pot. Any other advice? Trying to be really careful about not overwatering.

Ziggy Stardust’s trumpets are really trumpeting today! I am loving the stripes on my tradescantia zebrina 🦓

Say hello to Keanu Leaves 🌱 my dramatic Money Tree

I definitely have a favorite leaf right now 🤫😍🍃

This pothos is my OG! I call him Socrates 🏛️ he’s been with me while I was learning that plants needed light and water so to say he’s been a trooper is an understatement.

Put Sigmund, my Prickly Pear, through quite the repot! Hoping this will give this stretchy guy the revamp he’s looking for. Plus now I have a bonus Prickly Pear!

What should his name be?

🌱Aloe-ver the moon for these new pups! Rescued this struggling Aloe plant and see these little babies bursting through the soil brings me so much joy! Hello natural remedies!

Nothing brings the cozy vibes quite like leaves cascading from above. I especially love Ronaldo, my Neon Pothos! This beauty grows fast and loves the indirect bright light from my front window.

🌸A little succulent paradise in a pot! Succulents might be my favorite. They are so unique in both shape and color and require minimal effort (I have only killed succulents due to too much love and attention 🫣)

Do you have a favorite succulent?

Fiddle Leaf Figs can be quite the diva but they are worth the effort! Meet Fiona — she is definitely a learning experience but I love how vibrant these leaves are when they are happy

Don’t forget to get the dust off those big leaves and let light through!

Meet Basil, my club moss plant! Sometimes I wish I could just lay alongside these mushrooms in this lush, beautiful, cozy moss. It feels like having a mini forest on my shelf.

Did you know moss is an amazing natural air purifier?

Can we take just a minute to talk about how fascinating this String of Dolphins plant is? I call him Dolf. He is expressing himself in so many interesting ways! 🐬🛸
