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!!!

so not ALL my #Ficus plants are shooting out new growth, but to be fair, the ones that aren’t are dying 😂😂 #ivebeensmokingplantstoo so i’ve decided to take a buncha pics of my growing ficuses and explain who they are in my garden. photos are: #FicusShivereana (named Micus in my garden 😂😂 i let my brother-in-law name it) whose new leaf i was not personally responsible for bc it was coming in when i bought it, but the next one will be all me! second and third pics are a #FicusReligiosa named “bus stop gutter near jamun” bc i found it in a bus stop gutter near a giant #MalabarPlum that i’ve harvested from before😂😂 all those new leaves are me! when i first brought it home, it had a little leaf that quickly shriveled and died. i assume it wanted to focus more energy on establishing roots in its new home. and i’m glad it did! now she’s pushing out three new leaves at once and has grown about three inches since i adopted it 17 days ago! fourth is a #FloridaStranglerFig or #FicusAurea named “found on a carrotwood tree near the bus stop” i don’t think i have to explain the reasoning for that 😂😂 fifth pic is a doozy! all three are #FicusAurea plants as well. biggest one at the top of the photo is called “found on my break at work” the white-container one is called “found otw to whole foods after work” and the smallest one actually grew from the roots stuck in the sidewalk after taking “otw to WF” so has been aptly named 😂😂 i’ve added the #BohdiTree as the plant for this post bc it’s my favorite at the moment hehe #FicusGang #FicusFam #NewGrowth #Ficus

Want to know how to grow your Ficus Tineke FAST? Read below to see how I've doubled the size of the one pictured in just 4 months! I often hear how slow Tinekes are and my response is usually "Well they are a tree..." 🌞 LIGHTING TIPS💡 Ficus LOVE bright light and even some full sun. This one started as a small 4" pot with 5/6 leaves back in March when I put it out front on my covered, SW facing front porch and has DOUBLED. It gets bright indirect light all day and some direct full sun in the mid-afternoon. With temps lately being consistently above 100f I have had to water every day, but typically when not SO hot, every 3-5 days. I have had to upsize the pot twice already and need to again as it is drying too fast now. Depending on your location (I'm in North Texas USDA ag zone 8b) you can likely grow yours outside as well. Morning sun is the easiest and least harsh light to acclimate a plant to, starting with about an hour and adding more time in increments. If you aren't able to grow outside, then pick the brightest, unobstructed window in your house. Unobstructed means no curtains/blinds, trees/shrubs/awnings outside, etc... Try to give your Ficus at least 6 hours of BRIGHT light. 💧 WATERING TIPS 🚿 If your Ficus is getting plenty of light, it will be thirsty! Try to water when the soil is about 75% dry, never letting the soil dry fully. I like to take a dry wooden skewer or chopstick and stick it all the way to the bottom of the pot. Hold your fingers on the stick at the top of the soil, then pull it back out. Any wet soil will stick to the dry wood, indicating how far down the "dry line" is in the soil. So if there is only dirt on the bottom 25% of the stick, you know it's 75% dry and time to water. Follow these tips and you'll be rewarded with a gorgeous Tree you can no longer call slow! #ficus #ficuselastica #ficustineke #ficusgang #ficusfam #planttips #planttipsandtricks
