Houseplants

My baby - he's called Cheesus. Bought him for £5.99 lidl 2 years ago. He's going to need his own room if he grows any more

Sort of house plant related. I found this little guy on Etsy and its the best thing I've bought for my Monstera. I love him

Repotted my mama monstera last night - what a workout that was! Three branches were cut off for propagation and I had to sacrifice a few of the non-fenestrated leaves to neaten her up!

Before… CHAOS:

After

Also how's this for a resurrection? My boston fern today

And in May after I cut off all the dead stuff

The only good thing about this heat is that my monsteras are flourishing!

Hand for scale

View attachment 223707340p in Morrisons. Worth it for the pot. It has some kind of moss in it that is pretty dry.

Genuinely thought that was a pair of tits at first I need a coffee!

First leaf baby of the year. I don't know where he's going to go if he gets much bigger

My arrowhead is such a drama queen! Literally four hours difference between these photos after a water

My prayer plant has flowers!

Some more of my babies.
I bought my money plant for 50p from the school plant sale. It was tiny with just 3 leaves.

And the snake plant from home bargains. It was half this size. Think I've only ever watered it once.

I have a monkey plant too but he doesn't seem to be doing very well.

Went to Plants for All in London today and picked up this massive alocasia for £20! The biggest leaf is nearly as big as 2 dinner plates.

Actually I struggle with monstera deliciosa. I’ve had about 3 and the leaves always go yellow. I don’t know what I do wrong?!

This is the last picture I've got of him from Summer 2022, I must have been really lucky as I just repot him whenever he looks too big for the pot (I'm not repotting again though, I don't have the space for him to get any bigger, he's currently over 5ft tall) I just use normal bagged compost from the garden centre and water him with tap water when I remember. Usually only remember to water when the leaves droop a bit.
It's not looking this neat now though because of his dramatics.

I just sowed a load of seeds into coconut seed compost, is this going to be terrible???

I think it's rather like growing up in Croydon - fine if it's all you've ever known, but anybody else transplanted into it will wither and die.

For people struggling with string of pearls, I have only one advice: LIGHT. Plenty of it.
Mine lives on a balcony that gets direct sunlight from morning to mid-afternoon and and is sheltered from the wind.
I got it when it was only four little pearls, and a year and a half on, it is thriving, constantly flowering.

I just got this variegated one, hopefully it'll grow as beautifully as its sister.

My string of hearts is out of control
