Good morning #TheThread , it’s Sunday so you know what time it is! WELCOME TO THE… #PlantRant ! Today we are talking about ā€œeasy to careā€ houseplants. First off, spider plants. Nontoxic lil plants, but pack A PUNCH. If you don’t give them water that is chlorine free and filter with plant product, you’ll be in for brown leaves, and slow growth. Additionally if you don’t give them sun that’s brighter than the sun itself then you are in for NO GROWTH. Peace Lilly sound peaceful but are NOT. NOT ANYTHING BUT THAT. You have to STAY UP AT NIGHT for it to be semi happy. But this one has a code that I have not cracked yet. I know @SleekLatetulip has a BEAUTIFUL PEACE LILLY. It’s just a code to crack and even for ā€œPrO hOuSpLaNtErSā€ they are still trouble. Monsteras are a walking fave and game show to see how perfect you can water them. Again, love these plants, brothers to my all time favorites PHILODENDRON. And we will catch up on them later, but I have lost 2 which is way to many leaves on my beloved cloudy. It’s a 50/50 between over and underwatering. It’s just another code to crack. Pepperomia or as I call them pepperoni plants are such divas. See those yellow leaves? That’s them. It also comes with an invitation of pests! They just love dropping leaves so much. Not getting one again. Now onto ā€œthe best newbie houseplantsā€ The zz plant is famous for a reason, having those gorgeous stems that shoot up and up, and they can go ANYWHERE. The one dark corner of your room that needs a little pop, ZZ IT UP! Your desk, ZZ IT UP! Bathroom? ZZ IT UP! These plants have one flaw which is they are very tall. But that’s fine! We love huge growth here! Next is the pothos, like Hoyas but want them easy and aggressively grow? Theres your boy! Grows literally on WALLS. Climbing plant level 1000. Best one yet and never gives me problems except most are variegated. And mine just is like. Yeah I’m next to the sun but I wish I was INSIDE the sun. It’s ridiculous how much sun they need to varigate. And then there’s those leafs literally in the DARKNESS and they find a way to varigate like what do you want? Philodendron are just that one plant that is just so hardy. If you try to kill it it will miraculously come back. Wow and so many different kinds, personally I love all, but for beginners id bet that the brasil is the easiest. No trouble variegating, just stick it somewhere and watch it grow. And speaking of hardy philos, Silvia has been realived! If that’s a word and now it is. I just propped her and one month later she is here! This is why I love her. #SpiderPlant #SpiderPlants #PeaceLily #Monstera #MonsteraMob #monsteradeliciosa #Peperomia #peperomiapals #PepperomiaPod #ZzPlant #PothosPack #Pothos #Philodendron #PhiloFlock #PhilodendronBrasil

Obviously we got the SNAKE PLANT! I’ve only watered this guy 5 TIMES THIS YEARRRR!!!! Tho does not respond well to being overwatered!! if you are one of those plant parents that just overwater EVERYTHING be careful but honestly it’s not really that bad! Next we got the BRASIL! and maybe I’m a bit biased for gods sake my name IS PHILOOOOO. The philo brasil is variegated but don’t worry, it’s not like other plants that have to have sun to variegate! IM LOOKING AT YOU POTHOS! HAD TO PUT YOU RIGHT AGAINST THE WINDOW FOR ONE VARIGATED LEAF!!! This diva variegates no matter what. The only flaw with plant is a philo flaw in general which is they need so many pots. LIKE I NEED SO MANY POTS. It’s really amazing how many pots they need… Next is just ficus in general, GOOD BOY! NEVER BAD! I LOVE THE LEAVES! I HAVE THREE AND I LOVE THEM!!! I just got one… YESTERDAY! Maybe I’ll not be philo and be FICUS!!! Next is the ZZ PLANT MY WONDERFUL CC OMG BUTIFUL! AND I KNOW I SPELLED THAT WRONG THATS BEAcAUSE SHES SO BEAUTIFUL! LITERALLY INDESTRUCTIBLE ITS INCREDIBLE! Next we have the POTHOS! I was considering NOT putting this on here because it’s SO overused but I mean cmon, please. She is like literally not even A PLANT at this point. SO HUGE OMGGGG!!! Now I don’t have this yet, but I’m looking at it, the Hoya! LITERALLY DONT HAVE TO GIVE THIS PLANT A GALACTIC AMOUNT OF FERTILIZER JUST TP BLOOM!!! ALSO SUPER EASY JUST DO THE TACO TRICK! JUST BEND THE LEAF! If it folds, water time! But if it’s firm, NEGLECT TIME! THIS HOYA IS LITERALLY A GEN X KID OH MY GOSHHH!!! Next is the philodendron BILLAE! IM LOVING IT LIKE MICCY D’S!!!

Hi friends! I’ve really been MIA from the app; life just really gets in the way sometimes! But I wanted to share some happy news: 1. I had to chop my ponytail palm back when the thrips were terrorizing me, they had completely destroyed it. But look! It’s growing back! 🄳 2. A spider cactus that one of my coworkers gave me is growing a new baby (pup?) 🌵3. Update on #BuddyTheTurtle for his fans: he’s growing! He’s shedding his shell and the new one is underneath, the black smooth part you see. I had no idea this happened; I assumed the shell just grew with the turtle. Idk why I assumed this, since I’ve seen him shed his skin a bunch of times now! But look how cool! You can see other pieces cracking and beginning to lift up. Nature is just amazing to me—both flora and fauna 🐢 Here are the pieces of shell we dug out of his tank. He is so energetic, like he’s relieved! I can imagine the old shell might feel uncomfortable if he’s outgrown it! And last but not least, my dear friend Rachael (not @theloveofplants, who is also a dear Rachael to me! šŸ’–) gave me this variegated Burle Marx Philo šŸ˜ I was like whaaaaaaat. Lol. I’m so lucky to have such amazing friends, for sure. I hope you all are doing well and I miss everyone! I’m going to try to be better about being active on here. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #NewGrowth #NewTurtleGrowth #Philodendron #PhiloFlock #variegatedplants #variegationappreciation #CactusClique #SpiderCactus #PonytailPalm #PetsAndPlants #PetsOfGreg #babevila
