@RealSimpleMama Iβm delighted the that you are delighted; Iβve also looked at their website a few times and it seemed to me that their inventory was usually likeβ¦depleted. Did they have a good selection and were well stocked ? More often then not I saw I plant I wound have wanted but they are sold out. I recall they had a lot of wishlist like aroids and some that no one seems to even have. I have to say I am a bit perplexed that the lone βpalpableβ advantage that living in San Antonio, if it were to ever bestow you with any houseplant gift from its bounty, would have been the PPP from HβEβB. They are now $25 each I got them for $15. At De Zavala they are βold reliableβ because if they have anything excitingβit is a large selection of PPP. Which makes me wonderβ¦what are stocking are your HβEβB, if not the PPP ? Separate question, first freeze tonight! Are you ready ?I had moved most of plants into the garage six weeks ago, but getting the wherewithal to prepare the garage with growlights, configured optimally and the like had as much liftoff and success as Muskβs acquisition of twitter. I should not be that hard on myself. As my plants are chilly right now they might think I do deserve it
@TexanExpat hi! Yeah Iβve noticed BWH does have a fairly small selection but theyβre family-and-friend-owned and Iβm ok to wait in order to support small business. I did see a gorgeous PPP in HEB a few months ago but wasnβt ready to buy one yet and it was $26 I think.
@RealSimpleMama I have been meaning to order from them for some time now. Lately my go-to are Gabriellaβs, Canopy, Plantamaniβ¦.Plant Proper. β¦their instagram gets a laugh every once in a while. Tropical Plants FL occasionally on Etsy. Steveβs leaves on the list I saw an interview with him and heβs in Texas. Have you heard of Texas Plant Connection in Tyler ?
@TexanExpat hey no I hadnβt. Iβm bad about trying new shops - I feel like I have two on Etsy and then BWH that I like so I usually wait until they have what I want. Have you tried the one in Tyler??
@RealSimpleMama no. I think Iβve actually run out of room for plants lol. Like theyβre getting bigger. Do you your think aroid collection has a future as a patio plant 10β tall in the hear of the summer ? Iβm a little concerned after this summer. It was too hot for plants who did okay the year before
@TexanExpat I feel that way too! Itβs always a good thing that our plants are doing well but if each plant is eventually going to get huge, itβs an inevitable problem. π³ This December BWH order is the first Iβve probably done in months other than a few baby carnivorous. And Iβll wait a while again while I sort out who Iβm keeping. π±βοΈβ€οΈ
@TexanExpat she is absolutely stunning! And I love the framed art and the accent wall color. Well done! (And Rainbow Gardens is my favorite)
@RealSimpleMama @FitBrowallia @GaryPoopins right now my room is in a state of flux but my intention is to make the emerald green wall a gallery wall of Willaim Morris patterns as mart of a Maximilian aesthetic. I will save the details for later, but William Morris was a leader in the arts and crafts movement during the Victorian era in the United Kingdom. Is that society grew wealthier their demands screw greater. William Morris is known for pioneering, the production of elaborate woven designs and wallpapers, Iβve been reading about his works in the amount of detail that goes into designing them. Itβs just fascinating. His works reflect the natural world around him and the types of plants he found in Englandβart imitating life. My intention is to elevate Morrises work in the other art I have by having vines of Monstera pothos Philodendron undulating and weaving around them in that regard life imitating art juxtaposed with art imitating life, or as they say, life imitating art, imitating life imitating art. You get the picture :)
@TexanExpat I see what you did there. I do get the picture! It already looks amazing, but wow will it be something when it all fills in.
@TexanExpat Any form of living wall is tops for me. No single plant, I donβt care how colorfully variegated, can match that for me, personally.
@GaryPoopins have you a wall planter. I think if they donβt require a skill set closer to the more advanced level and then itβs just οΏΌ dumb luck. There are many systems from a number of vendors that say they have the best solution but then you realize that you donβt necessarily know how to evaluate those solutions without trying them. For me, I went with Wiley grow for the simplicity of its design and cost, there are more than a few vendors who give you a note 2 ft.Β² of like wall planter real estate for $1000 or something crazy like that at first I wasnβt that keen on the idea of a thought pocket planter but Iβve been using it itβs a rather ingenious design the cell absorbs the water. Well itβs the same felt that they use in a self watering mats how you use those.? on a soft watering that you just wet one portion of the mat and then the you know plant sucks it up through capillary action to the plant here do you want to the back of the planter in the capillary action draws it down to the bottom, but then itβs very porous and it breeze in the proportion of it allows you to get really big plants which is something that most people donβt notice And then getting the plants to fill out the space Iβve had this set up for about a year and a half, and it took until the third run until I found plants that did well but then some of the plants did so well that they just grew chaotically. I shouldβve been turning them sooner. They are a lot of fun, but they require a lot of technical skill in foresight an execution you should give it a try.
