Sometimes it seems Murphy's law hangs over me like a dark cloud, especially over the last few months. Everytime I think everything's ok, I get knocked down again, this time a loss of one third of my income which has been devastating. But I'm a survivor and God will provide. He's helped me this far 👍 I'm so grateful to the #gregteam for this amazing app helping me each day to focus on my plants #plantssavedmymentalhealth I may not post much but I do read through everyone's posts! My beautiful Hoya Sunrise has opened up her buds and is blooming in all her glory. My my sweet little Hoya Heuschkelania is about to open up her cute little buds. #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #greggerssupportinggreggers #plantaddict #hoya #hoyahangout #hoyaheads #planttherapy #floweringplants #sarahsgrove 25 19 Comments @ballondusoleil · 6M How to encourage growth? 1 2 Comments @BabeVila · 7M I brought most of my succulents collection into work, because I noticed the ones in my office are doing 10x better than the ones at my house—the air is SO DRY here! They really love it! So why not bring the whole family? Plus, great conversation starter when people come into my office 🤗♥️🪴 The second pic is my table with my other office plants. I must be surrounded by plants at all times or I’m not happy. And I’m adding the three most recent Benny pics because I have space left and why not!? Everyone loves him! 🐸💚🪴🌿🪴🌿 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantsSavedMyMentalHealth #OfficePlants #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #ZzPlant #SnakePlant #Jade #Echeveria #PlantAddict #babevila #BennyTheTreeFrog 51 30 Comments @BabeVila · 7M 1: My #SyngoniumPinkSplash Thai has a stunning, all-pink new leaf! That SHADE is making me drool! 🎀🎀🎀 2: My #AglaonemaSpitfire is doing *AMAZING* in a potting medium consisting solely of coco chips! 🥥🪴It’s been a month and she is growing so fast with NO issues! She gets nutrients from the #WetheWild Grow Concentrate every time I water. Doing splendidly and now I’m going to try a few other plants in this! Thank you to @EZLennyLance and @TheOddAsity for the hot tip! 3: Speaking of new leaves, my #AlocasiaPolly, Josie, has just given me ANOTHER perfect new leaf 🥰🌿 4: My #PhilodendronBrasil, Leavie Nicks (proud of that name! IYKYK) is growing so fast that I’m about to add another section of moss pole! Look how big she’s getting! I posted a while ago about how some of her leaves are larger than my hand! 💖 All in all, TONS of #NewGrowth and that is ignoring my other 200 houseplants and alllll my outdoor plants (which will get a separate post, because my #BlackEyedSusans are finally blooming like crazy🌻🌻🌻🌻 I seriously just stood and stared at them all yesterday morning 🤣🤣🤣 5: Obligatory #BennyTheTreeFrog photo! This was him yesterday; I swear he sometimes appears to be posing for the camera 😆🐸📸. He hung out with me for the entire day yesterday, so I got a ton of great shots.

No injuries, and back to sunning himself on his porch! So happy his tumble didn’t scare him away permanently 🤗 I just love the little guy so much. Here he is earlier today while I was at work. He was hanging out with my mom and admiring his new pool we made him! And you’ll notice that I tied his pot to the deck railing in addition to putting a heavy rock inside, so there’s no way he will have another fall! 💚 In plant news: my #BlackEyedSusan are all beginning to bloom now! There definitely seems to be some powdery mildew on some of them, though, so I will be hitting it with some fungicide on Wednesday. Also, look at this absolutely tiny spider who made a web in my yellow hibiscus! She’s so small I could barely see her; grateful for zoom technology! 🤣🕷️🥹🐸💖🌻 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #OutdoorGrowing #OutsidePlants #GardenWildlife #BennyTheTreeFrog #babevila #PlantTherapy #PlantsSavedMyMentalHealth 14 11 Comments @BabeVila · 7M #plantmememonday I saw my therapist/psychiatrist today, and we literally talked about plants for half the session.

I can see that there’s lots of updates and lots of new people to the super supportive Greg Family! I’m still trying to get my head around PTSD (my orchids and I were in a fire last year and then a few weeks later I experienced anaphylaxis and a close family member was hospitalised and still is in hospital) but I feel like I’m finally winning: going out with friends, going into shops, using public transport, healing past trauma too. My plants have been so therapeutic too. So here are some blooms: Photo 1 and 2 is Phalaenopsis Magic Art. She was one of my early orchids and I made a lot of newbie mistakes to the point that she was almost rootless. I’ve spent the last two years nurturing her back to full health (phals can be a long slog) and she’s finally healthy enough to produce blooms for me. She’s stunning and sometimes Magic Arts produce completely purple blooms too. Photo 3 is NoID, 4 is Summer Song and 5 is Exotic Punch. If anyone has any orchid questions, please do give me a shout! #PhalaenopsisOrchid #orchidlovers #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantsSavedMyMentalHealth 28 43 Comments @BabeVila · 9M Hi friends! I just wanted to share this: my Rex begonia on March 13, the day I potted her, and again on April 23. She is growing like crazy! I credit the #WetheWild Grow concentrate and the cheap yet awesome plant lights I got recently! She’s so healthy and vibrant! By the way, I have no idea what cultivar this is, so if anyone knows, please tell me!

I couldn’t resist documenting the first actual day of spring that we had yesterday! It was actually warm, and even though it got cloudy, I didn’t mind because the trees all just exploded into flowers overnight and I love when they do that!
