Then I got these some time this year to celebrate a win. I travelled for a couple of days and came back to a dead plant [3rd frame].
Was admiring this so much at a restaurant that the manager said I could leave with it

Another mini DIY repotting of a

I’ve gone down the Youtube rabbit hole sooo many times in the last couple of days, trying to take in everything I can about houseplants to be interested enough in propagation. And I’m giving it a try
A little color ain’t hurt nobody. Let’s welcome to the family this beautiful Oxalis Triangularis. This beauty closes like an umbrella at night and when disturbed.
Danish Crown Sansevieria aka Snake Plant aka Mother In-laws Tongue. Particularly excited for the growth of this beauty.
I decided to bring my succulent to work. To give my table some green. I just noticed that a leaf had fallen off and dry/soil propagated itself and it has new bud/bloom + roots grow out and I’m not sure what to do with it.
But super excited.
But super excited.
The baby succulent is doing wellllll #plantmama . Trying to see how many more babies the leaves can make.
The cactus potter is growing oxalis (?). I’m not sure how/why that is happening but I’m hereeeee for it!
This [former] big guy is, well, whatever it is now and I’m not sure what the problem is. It’s taller, but keeps looking weak and yellow and shedding. These are newer leaves on it. It’s so sad.
Got a Pothos and Coleus today

I thought I got a Golden Pothos. But YouTube is telling me it’s a Marble Queen Pothos. I also just learnt about a new variety - Satin Pothos. And I want ittttt
Coleus

You guys! As much as I’m wing this #Plant mama life, I’m clearly [tho almost unknowingly] doing something right. My succulent baby has had some growth. And the other leaves are growing tiny babies as well. The Ivy [elephant ear] has grown root and is ready to be potted.
I’ll take pictures when there’s better lighting. Stokeddddd

First picture the day I started propagating. 4 weeks later, today I have these roots. Should propagated more. I’ll pot this today, in shaa Allah and see how well it does.
Disposable Cups appreciation tweet.
Repotted my cacti and Oxalis into cute planters. And got 2 new plants yesterday.
#FridayBuy Philodendron [Pink Princess?] Excited to see where we can get with this one. I’ll need to re pot to a smaller [more appropriate] planter. #PlantMama
#SundayGardening I’m going to try to propagate the broken down leaves in #Nestlé and #CocaCola bottles

Got ZZ leaves and Sansevieria cutting and I’m going to try water and soil propagation for both.

I just put half my plant on a shelf that wasn’t meant for holding plants and I’m wondering if it’s too late to call the carpenter back.
#FridayBuy Pinterest says this is a Water Lettuce. I kept calling it a water Lilly
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen"> I put it in a centerpiece I have on my dining table.
#FridayBuy Pilea aka Chinese Money Plant. Just found out this beauty made it to Harper& #39;s Bazaar’s most instagrammablen plant list
String of something. Not sure what this succent is called

All the babies are fine now. I put them out here for about 2 weeks. Watering every Friday. Propagating some. It& #39;s time to find spots for them inside the house.
6 week later

I didn& #39;t get much luck with the later cuttings I got. But I& #39;ve since learnt how to cut for propagation.
What I& #39;ve done to my space. Still trying to figure it out.
While I was moaning about my plants weren’t doing so well, there were some growths as well. Like on the cacti. Also decided to cut some of the Pothos to propagate it case it doesn’t recover.
The plant recovered. I have 4 new leaves. And the propagations are also rooting beautifully. Super proud of these in particular as I’d almost given up on it. #plantmama
#plantmama the Rubber Plant as well. I have 2 new stems that are leafing well while the original one keeps drying out.
Good Morning. #PlantMama Tafiti here reporting for duty. This is what my table looks like this morning with 3 new babies.
Finally got around to getting it
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💃🏾" title="Woman dancing (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman dancing (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)">This is probably the most beautiful Pothos: Satin Pothos. A rare plant as well.
New station. For now.
Shower + Sunbathing day.
