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! 💖) gave me this variegated Burle Marx Philo 😍 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

Good morning☕️🌞 to #TheThread Its sunday our last day to recoup and refresh before starting the grind again. Its still to early to think about what im going to do, but i know it wont be anything to strenuous! I got quite a bit done yesterday around the house. I did some potting , some watering, and some house work. Really it was a pretty good mix of chores plants and lazy🙌. I did toss and turn a alot last night but i had a nice long nap yesterday so thats ok. It is making it a late start to #TheThread, But thats ok its SUNDAY! What are your plans for the day? We had so many perfect plant photos to choose from yesterday it was quite the conundrum choosing 5🤯! After closely inspecting all the entries for signs of pests and disease😱. They were allowed to pass on to the main event where each were heavily judged and scrutinized for signs of imperfection. After careful deliberation these 5 excellent pics found their way to the winners circle🏆! I think we can all agree out first photo is literally picture perfect🤩! This ponytail palm growing @MariansOasis is just a show stopper with its gracefully arching strap like fronds cascading out over the pot. But add in that accent plant lighting and its just becomes so relaxing and ZEN🥹 i could stare at it all day. Our second stunning photo was shared by @ILoveMyPlants of her absolutely PERFECT😍 Birkin philo. I really love how this philo stays so short and compact but delivers such a BANG! With all that vein variegation running through its forest of amazingly green leaves, its never short on the WOW factor! This monsterous crypanthus growing @Hoyaobsessed urban jungle is so bright and full it had to be included in our sunday line up. That red and black striping along with the wavy edge on its leaves make this a 1 of a kind plant. Its so lush and full that this is a GOALS Plant for me🙌! @RealSimpleMama supplied our 4th great photo. This is 2 of her nepenthes seedling starting to really take off🚀 with growth under her expert care. Im starting to see some beautiful sunstressing on 1 of em, and both look to be adding on plenty of new colorful traps. Ive become a quick fan of nepenthes plants. Theyre so much fun and different to grow, everyone needs atleast 1! And our last photo ive decided to share my heliamophora parva x ionasi. This is my tallest mexican sun pitcher. After moving a few inches closer to the light its really getting some amazing sunstress😎. These are really one of my favorite carniverous plants tbh. Theres a small learning curve to them, but they really are an easy and forgiving plant to try. Thats the end of our sunday photo bomb and conservator babble🤷‍♂️😂! Hope everyone gets plenty of rest and relaxation today before the week starts. Have a great day and STAY SAFE🥰 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #CarnivorousPlants #CarnivorousClub #cpclubthursday #Philodendron #Monstera #GregPlantShop #GregGang #PonytailPalm
