@PlantMompy @UltraKoreanfir @ravanika Iβm fixinβ to come apart over that bitty bud. π₯° All credit goes to the Greg hive, south-facing windows, terracotta and succulent soil. ππ½ππ½
@MariansOasis Ohhhh, good to know. Iβll get her a bib so she doesnβt drip on the marble table top. Thanks for the tip!
@JeanwithaJ you have your snake plant in a south facing window? Can it take that much direct sunlight? π
@SportyWhiskfern If you click on the link above for Beaβs details, youβll see sheβs about 10ft away (from a wall-sized window in my tiny 4th floor office). No direct sunlight β very bright, but all indirect. Snake plants can tolerate less than ideal conditions but thrive in bright light. They can grow in full sun in their native habitat (western Africa and Asia).
@SportyWhiskfern I love Birdie, too! That said, the best granny name Iβve heard used here down South might just be βFoxyβ β SO spunky!
@SportyWhiskfern Thatβs great! I bet they are basking in the morning glow. π (TBH, I would put all mine in an eastern window if I could - but thereβs only one decent one and itβs in my husbandβs office. Thereβs a limit to how many plants I can stash in there!) π
@JeanwithaJ Yeah I hear you. My husband doesnβt mind the plant habit as long as I practice boundaries. π
@JeanwithaJ I put them on a lazy Susan so I can spin them everyday and put a different one in front everyday. And they share it with an Alocasia. π₯° So far no fighting. Lol
@JeanwithaJ I never knew anyone who loved snake plants like I do. Makes me like you more. I think they are so handsome and stately.
@SportyWhiskfern Ha! Yeah, more is more, but (sigh) boundaries are good. I love your lazy Susan method! So clever. And thanks for the #snakesquad cheer. They are my absolute favorite. I most admire their tenacity and resilience under adversity and duress β a trait Iβve had to rely on in my own life and chosen career. π«Ά
Strong, determined, all good traits for beings that depend on my A.D. D. addled mind to take care of them. Thatβs what you all do for my babies to keep them alive! Thanks π I love this community!π₯°π±
