Almost all the #USGreggers are getting hit by some crazy weather. I know some are getting snow, some freezing temps, some a "bomb cyclone," we are getting 60-70mph wind gusts and enough rain to melt all our snow before the temps plummet. Sending you all safe and warm vibes. Photo from a few winters ago when we lived in Vermont. #vtgreggang #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #plantfriendsarethebestfriends #plantamigos 🌱 #NewEnglandGregGang 🌱 #MaineGang 🌱 #ThePlantMompy

🌱HERE IS YOUR FRIENDLY REMINDER🌱 To dust your plants. We all know we should. But who has the time? The light? The patience? I cheat and take them out in the rain or in the shower every chance I can. But as a mom of two little ones in New England that's still as close to never as you can get 😂 It is not just about getting the dust off either. This time of year when my heaters are drying out the air and kicking up all the dust I get spiders like crazy. Which of course means spider mites. I used to be terrified of them but between washing my leaves when I can and spraying natria when I can't I am finding that I can catch the mites before they do harm. It's really annoying, but part of winters with plants. I also put a couple drops of peppermint oil in my leaf cleaner to try and deter pests and buy myself a little more time since I know I won't get to it when I *should.* So I guess this is also a reminder that it's ok if you don't get to that plant thing right away. Your plant will still love you. #cleanplants #happyplants #ficus #ficusgang #ficusfam #ficuselastica #planttips 🌱 #NewEnglandGregGang 🌱 #MaineGang 🌱 #ThePlantMompy

I CANT WAIT UNTIL #freshleaffriday LOOOOOKKKK! The #umbrellatree has the ITTY BITTIEST little leaves. It's the first since I chopped off the top! The branch on the bottom I did share on Friday also has another new leaf! The #snakeplant babes I have NO idea how I missed. Explains why it's top growth had slowed some. This is the one I posted about that gets a ton of sun. EDIT: I repotted it on 5/30 😳 🥺🥺🥺 #sansevieria #dwarfumbrellatree #newgrowth #plantbabies #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantsalsomakepeoplescream 🌱 #NewEnglandGregGang 🌱 #MaineGang 🌱 #ThePlantMompy

One more #freshleaffriday post for my #plantfairygodmother @sarahsalith. She always answers my millions of questions and little did I know that a trade of props a few months ago would lead to this box of goodies! They arrived yesterday but I didn't get to play with them until today. I don't have photos of every plant yet, but I do have a favorite 🫣 this #dioonedule is INCREDIBLE 😍 #dioon #ficustriangularisvariegata #ficusaudrey #ficus #ficusfam #ficusgang #plantamigos #plantfriendsarethebestfriends #happyplants 🌱 #NewEnglandGregGang 🌱 #MaineGang 🌱 #ThePlantMompy

Today I moved my largest #ficus to get more natural light and less artificial light in the evenings. I caught this moment as the sun shown through the window onto my #umbrellatree and onto the #rubberplant #plantporn #ficusgang #ficusfam 🌱 #NewEnglandGregGang 🌱 #MaineGang 🌱 #ThePlantMompy

Hey #greggang 👋 For those of you that have been here a minute (or a few years) this post is going to be a throw WAY back! 🧓 Once upon a time there was a wonderful, very active user @hoyahead who created the cutest little Greg stickers. If you've ever wondered where #greggivesback got our stickers, now you know! The stickers were created to be shared with all users. To welcome #gregsproutling and to ensure recognition for #bestanswer in a fun way. They were used pretty regularly and it was so much fun seeing them throughout the feed. I've been wanting to bring them back now that I've been a little more active again, but it doesn't feel right doing it by myself. So, here's the link so you can sprinkle some extra cute Greg-ness around, too. 🎊 https:// Enjoy! #happyplants #plantaddict #newgrowth #bestappontheinternet 🌱 #NewEnglandGregGang 🌱 #NortheastGregGang 🌱 #MaineGang 🌱 #ThePlantMompy

Just wanted to share our first signs of spring here in Maine. 🦞 These snowdrops have always been the first plants up, and put a smile on my face for days as I watch them take over. 🌷 No one tell them we have a two-day storm starting tonight. 🤫❄️ #outdoorgrowing #outdoorplants #flowerpower #spring #happyplants 🌱 #NewEnglandGregGang 🌱 #MaineGang 🌱 #ThePlantMompy

Good morning #greggang! Last night I went to a new studio for back to back yoga classes and look at this table they have! Clearly it is something we all need as plant parents, maybe even add a grow light to it so it could go anywhere... I'm already brainstorming 🤔 I wasn't going to do two classes but the universe rewarded me with free plants in the hallway on the way to my car! I behaved and only took the ones I don't have 🤩 #happyplants #plantparent #fiddleleaffig #zzplant #stringofturtles #philoflock 🌱 #NewEnglandGregGang 🌱 #NortheastGregGang 🌱 #MaineGang 🌱 #ThePlantMompy

Great news! One of the jades that I cut up two weeks ago already has new growth!! ...bad news, I definitely walked by the other day and in my sick state thought "oh, how'd you miss that little piece of leaf" and promptly picked it off. I have since realized it was likely a second branch 🤦🏽😩 I think I'm probably going to cut it down again so I can get two branches and I'll just have my 100th jade Babe 😂 #jade #crassula #happyplants #springintosummer 🌱 #NewEnglandGregGang 🌱 #MaineGang 🌱 #ThePlantMompy

Happy #freshleaffriday to 3/5 of my #alocasia that are working on new leaves right now! Finally 😒 My ninja had a fit when I got it and between that and winter both plants in the pot have had just one leaf for SO long. The dragon scale has also had a hard time adjusting. I got it before the ninja but it has only put out one new leaf since. The third was a prop from @Alkiplants that has been my absolute easiest alocasia and is always happy. #alocasiaaddicts #alocasianinja #alocasiadragonscale #happyplants 🌱 #NewEnglandGregGang 🌱 #NortheastGregGang 🌱 #MaineGang 🌱 #ThePlantMompy

#springintosummer day 3! In every window of the hallway leading to the birthing suite where we had both our kiddos there was a huge hanging Brasil, so we have this one in the center of our dining room table for our our family meals ❤️ #philodendron 🌱 #NewEnglandGregGang 🌱 #MaineGang 🌱 #ThePlantMompy

When it's your birthday and all the pots you've been resisting are 40% off 🤷🏽. The big one had an instant home (except it's my favorite so I want 100 more), the rest will be full soon! 😍 The polkadot plant was a gift from my mom, so a new plant, too! 🌱 #NewEnglandGregGang 🌱 #MaineGang 🌱 #ThePlantMompy

Earlier this week I bought some #mango because I see people posting about growing them. I put one in a pot with a dome on Monday and the other in a bag on Tuesday. I figured while they weren't started at the same time it could still be a fun #sciencewithgreg! I checked today and the one in the pot is already starting to sprout! I wonder if the other will sprout tomorrow! #seeds #propagation #happyplants 🌱 #NewEnglandGregGang 🌱 #MaineGang 🌱 #ThePlantMompy

@NMazon inspired me to look at Target for some cute terrarium-type things (https://) and while I didn't find the snow globe she did I did find these. I got a couple for my kiddos and one for myself - they can have extra pieces and I can have a cheap cloche! #dealalert #terrarium #diyplanter #happyplants 🌱 #NewEnglandGregGang 🌱 #MaineGang 🌱 #ThePlantMompy

Happy #pridemonth from our favorite little vegan doughnut shop! I had to share how adorable these doughnuts are, and included my Brasil since this is a plant app, not a doughnut app 😂 #springintosummer #plantsmakepeoplehappy #doughnutsmakepeoplehappytoo 🌱 #NewEnglandGregGang 🌱 #MaineGang 🌱 #ThePlantMompy

"When your servant has the audacity to put you outside in the rain when it's 70⁰ and muggy." The dry air from the heaters in my home made it super inviting for spider mites, so I figured it would enjoy a shower for nature rather than my bathroom. Obviously, I was terribly wrong. Fiddles, I tell ya 🤦🏽. #fiddleleaffig #ficus #ficusgang #ficusfam #happyplants #notsohappyplants 🌱 #NewEnglandGregGang 🌱 #MaineGang 🌱 #ThePlantMompy
