Trying to shake off some of the negative juju that’s been floating around the app lately with a question: who’s your favorite child right now? 🪴I know, I know, we’re not supposed to have favorites. But if you share, I promise not to tell your other plants! 🤭🤫
Mine is this hoya crimson princess. I just love the colors and variegation!

@MamaLinne Girl I'm so upset I can't even see straight. Moving on...I can see why!! I love her!! She's so beautiful! 😍 I've got one too but she's still little. I'll tell you who has been a shot caller these past couple of weeks is Ms. Hawaiian Splash! Her vines are growing like crazy!! 💚 I'm adding a picture of my Krimson Princess too. Just because she's so cute and for a minute there I didn't think she'd make it!
@princesspitstop she’s gorgeous! I think what I love about hoyas is that they reward patience and observation of small changes. They’re not splashy, and remind us that growth can be slow and steady! 🪴💜
@MamaLinne Amen girl! 🙏 That was beautiful. 🥰
@MamaLinne I think we’re just missing @TryAnahaw60 🥰
@HolyLacealoe I just love the pattern on those leaves and the Birkin Philo is one of my favorites! Great choices! 💚💚💚
@MamaLinne the answer depends on which day you ask. I love “Elmer” my Peruvian old man cactus. He looks like how I feel! My other favorite today is my mikado snake 🐍 plant which has finally put out a new leaf.
@MamaLinne @princesspitstop hard agree! 😂 Just remember, no one deserves to take up room that should be devoted to plants! 🥰🌿
Love this topic, and I love your Hoyas. I adore how their leaves start out impossibly small and then just keep growing if they are given good light, water, and care. 🥰
You all know my favorite ctenanthe, but I’ve shown him often. So today I’ll show my ctenanthe Burle-marxii and
right now I’m a bit obsessed with my philodendron verrucosum—the leaves are just so mesmerizing 😍😵💫 and I’m a sucker for a vibrant patterned leaf 😁

@MamaLinne @princesspitstop haha! Maybe I should actually post the photos? 😅
Please pardon the poor lighting. It has been a dark pouring rain all day kind of day. ☔️🌧️

@HolyLacealoe ooh beautiful! I have a birkin too, and *almost* got a Geogenanthus, but said no that day…and I’ve regretted it ever since 😅
@RefinedSandwort I love your old man cactus too, he’s so cute! 🥰
@princesspitstop They both look FAB Heidi!! 😍
@HolyLacealoe So pretty! I used to have a Seer Sucker Plant, you’ve got me wishing I didn’t give it away! 🤩
@RefinedSandwort That old man is all “Bed hair - don’t care!” What a cutie 😂
@DreamMachine Those Verrucosum leaves are AMAZING! Especially with the light showing through them 😌
@DreamMachine , Nadia,
How long have you had your philodendron? And Holy guacamole, your monstera leaves are ginormous!!

@debbiedo I KNOW right? 🤩 Thank you 🥰 I always have to take a front pic and a back lit pic because they are out of this world!
@princesspitstop , thanks Heidi! I keep finding plants here that I *have* to acquire. 😈
@HolyLacealoe Thank you Anna! I got my verrucosum in January, and I’m getting my 3rd and 4th leaf here in a minute. It was a wish list plant that I randomly stumbled upon in a teeny little plant shop 😁
I’ll see if I can’t take a good monstera leaf pic, it’s already pretty dark in here even with all the grow lights!

@MamaLinne Fun question Deb! I’m ALL for shaking off the negative vibes 🙌 I’ve got a cold and have been laying low. Today I’m catching up on my watering and moving some little plants into bigger pots (so hopefully they won’t dry out so fast!) I also chopped the top off my Mother Of Thousands and am looking forward to watching all these little cuties grow! 🥺🌱💚
@MilkNewt Your Tulips are gorgeous! 🥰 That color is amazing!
@HolyLacealoe Well thank you because you inspired me go look at the photo from the day I got him! He’s actually grown quite a bit for only two months. 1st pic is Jan 20, and I just took the 2nd pic right now. Same white compost bin for scale! 😂 And I’m touching the same leaf that I am in the first picture.
@debbiedo oh my gosh Debbie, ADORABLE!! 🥹🥰
@HolyLacealoe Same! My wishlist already looks like a CVS Receipt!! Lol
@MilkNewt @princesspitstop ooh thise tulips are stunning! Thats my hubs favorite flower (and color of flower 😁)
@DreamMachine , uh oh,….
Did I buy another plant that is going to grow like a toddler?
Did I buy another plant that is going to grow like a toddler?
@debbiedo , my kid got a MoMs from their friend in college. I inherited it and kept it for a long time. I gave away a couple of my plants before moving. I’m rebuilding faster than I should have
@HolyLacealoe ooh!! Do you have a verrucosum too?? heh heh 😏 Before I got mine, I heard it could be quite hard to make them happy, but I’ve found it to be a very cheerful, fast growing plant! 🥰
@MamaLinne @debbiedo @DreamMachine @MilkNewt @princesspitstop @RefinedSandwort @BabeVila @SuperbRaspfern
Good morning lovely 😍 plant peeps 😘
First of all...I want to apologize to anyone who was offended or upset with my interactions on our beautiful app...Greg.
It's not my usual banter as I truly believe that love can overcome hatred and that a little respect goes a long way.
That being said...I hafta admit that I literally adore all of our 🪴 plants!
They're a daily miracle and not only clean the air we breathe but, I feel, shower us with their loving vibrations.
It's difficult to post just one but the guy who impresses me with his growth and continous flowering 💐 is Prince 🤴...Silver Dragon 🐉.
When he first arrived at my home, he was sickly-looking and lost all but a few leaves.
I was horrified and didn't know what to do, so, stuck him in a corner and did nothing 😅 😐.
Here he is today...HRH 🤴

@ZestyWhiteghost Awe you're such a sweetheart 💞 Thank you love. I've got tears. 🥹
@princesspitstop Flowers 🌸🌺🌻🌹🌷🌼💐always help!!
@CutePolypremum No need to apologize to me! You're the best and was just saying what everyone was thinking. Although the best way to handle people that come in hot complaining and being petty then start yelling personal attack is to completely ignore them. When our feathers don't get ruffled they'll stop. Some of us have paid to be here for years and we not only discuss plants we've all become family and welcome new users with open arms which has made the app as special as it is. When someone comes in and starts to threaten my personal space I take that as a personal attack. I'm good though. Today is a new day. 😊 Even though it's a Monday. Lol Speaking of Dragon Scale check out this new leaf it gave me! 💚
@ZestyWhiteghost Yes ma'am they do! ❤️So do a couple of these! 🦋🦋😍
@princesspitstop
OMG Heidi!
That leaf! It's not only huge, it's absolutely perfect.
I feel you should frame that photo and put it on a wall in your home 🤗😍
And...thank you for your kind words.
When I was writing, I wasn't at all upset or angry but quite calm.
This type of incident happened once before since I've been with Greg and that person eventually left altogether.

@CutePolypremum Great idea! I just might frame it!! 🥰
@CutePolypremum don’t you worry one bit! I was tempted to get in on it, but I didn’t want to fan the flames. You were just defending yourself against a bully, and there’s never anything wrong with that 🌷 and that silver dragon looks so happy! I gotta take a page out of your playbook, my silver dragons are a bit… underwhelming right now 😅
@MilkNewt
Hi Milo!
Thanks for your kind words 🤗
Hi Milo!
Thanks for your kind words 🤗
@CutePolypremum No apologies needed AT ALL Joanie! And oh my goodness, your Silver Dragon is stunning!!
I love #TheWateringHole ! I knew you guys would come through with amazing plant photos! I, too, was upset and defensive yesterday- then I decided that it must take a pretty unhappy person to “piss in everyone’s Cheerios” to quote the amazing @SuperbRaspfern , and that interacting would just make things worse. Thank you all for jumping in and blowing me away with your plant pics! @HolyLacealoe love your new plants! My birkin has really struggled, but is showing signs of coming back to life. And is that a jewel orchid? @RefinedSandwort I love your fuzzy old man!! And your snake plant is super cool! I’m overrun with birds’ nest snake plants from a very prolific mama, and got sort of burned out on them. I’m giving and selling most of them- just keeping 1- because I’d really like to branch out with some different varieties! @DreamMachine my HEAVENS that philo is stunning. It’s been on my “cvs receipt length wish list” (LOL @princesspitstop !!!) ever since you got it, and now I want it even more. 😍 @LucidPlants03 where there’s green, there’s hope!! 🫶🏼 @debbiedo cool MOT! Can’t wait to see it progress! @MilkNewt amazing tulips! I’m completely hopeless with outdoor gardening, so I’ll live vicariously through you! And I appreciate your hesitancy to jump into the fray- I felt the same way, as angry as I felt. @Gr34tVine oo, can we see a picture of your pitcher plant?! And what are your tips on growing them? @CutePolypremum no need to apologize for defending against bullying and gaslighting! I appreciate your courage and no-nonsense attitude. Your silver dragon is #goals! Alocasia and I are in a love/hate/💀 relationship 🫠 @ZestyWhiteghost I LOVE that you broke the “rules” and gave us multiple plant pictures! I knew someone would! Your plant collection truly shows your dedication and care! Can you give some examples of your journaling? I’ve been thinking of doing the same! I want more plant “activities” that don’t include buying new plants, but being more present and mindful of the ones I have!
Again, thanks everyone for playing along! I’m grinning ear to ear this morning and thankful we have a little taste of what makes #Greg so special back!

@MamaLinne I don’t have a favorite plant because I love them all big or small green white or red. Any color at all!
@MamaLinne 🤣❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for hosting that was fun!!
@YesWaiuatua7 that’s fair! To be honest, me too, although different plants in my collection draw me in on different days, probably for reasons in my subconscious that I’m unaware of! I think there are so many life parallels with plants!
@DreamMachine , not yet, but I just added another to the list. I meant the philodendron.
@BEsucculent these are jaw dropping!! 🤩🪴🌵
#TheWateringHole Ok here’s my entry from the succulents’ point of view.. When you have as many plants as I have there are always some outstanding children currently vying for attention. First of all the bloomers currently are acting out for all to see. (E. Firefly and K. Houston’s hybrid ) Then the latest leaf colorizers vie for my attention. (See next post)
And last but definitely not least are the newcomers promising to wow in the future. #TheWateringHole
@MamaLinne I am so in love with this new hobby!
@ZestyWhiteghost 😍🤣🤩🤭love it!
@MamaLinne @BEsucculent @CutePolypremum @debbiedo @princesspitstop @ZestyWhiteghost @RefinedSandwort @MilkNewt @SuperbRaspfern @HolyLacealoe I love you all so much, glad to have Greg back to normal because plant care IS self care. It’s my happy place, and I feel sorry for people that plainly do not get the same benefits (although, you’d have to convince me really hard that that guy wasn’t just a troll. Someone to stir things up for fun.) And yes Heidi is so right! If that ever happens again, dont engage, don’t respond, even if you want to reallllly badly. I was sorely tempted. (Edit: but I did “report” every single one of his comments 😜) And dear Joanie @CutePolypremum you were nothing if not eloquent, polite, sassy, and ruthless, and your comments made me admire you even more! 🥰
@ZestyWhiteghost is that E. dark prince? It’s luxurious!

@CutePolypremum I’m doing the snoopy dance right now 💃🪩🕺
Oh! I’m tardy to the party.. who said what? Or do we even want to bring it up? I’ve had to block one guy because he was so condescending and just rude and would not stop and I didn’t do anything… he and I were not even friends… so don’t be afraid to block people, that’s what the feature is for!!! 💕💖
@DreamMachine
Oh yeah!
Watch out for the sassy one... 😎😉
I love what you wrote. After all, behind every house plant is a hooman!

@ZestyWhiteghost oh you missed the DRAMA yesterday. Same guy, who now no longer has Greg access thank goodness.
@ZestyWhiteghost thats the guy Carmen, he was AWFUL
@MamaLinne WHOLLYGWAKAMOLLY! He was that bad?! I’m so sorry he was awful to my #GregFriendsAreTheBestFriends ! No one deserves hurtful words etc.. hugs to everyone hurt!!!
@BEsucculent I love your aeonium Pink Witch!! 🤩😱
@ZestyWhiteghost @MamaLinne @CutePolypremum We’re all just houseplants with more complicated emotions 😁
@DreamMachine here I thought cleaning our condo to get ready to sell was yucky! I’d rather be cleaning the toilets than going through what you guys went through!
@ZestyWhiteghost Same guy!! 😁👍
@ZestyWhiteghost
No worries...
Watch out for strong women 😘 😅

@princesspitstop no way… I’m glad he’s gone! He’s the one I blocked
@CutePolypremum @MamaLinne @debbiedo I actually heard a collective "Sigh" of relief!! 🥰👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉
@ZestyWhiteghost
Oh....dear Carmen Marie!
If it weren't for this weird incident, I wouldn't have known #GregsFriendsAreTheBestFriends even existed!
So...all of the negativity turned into good karma 🤗😍🤗

@ZestyWhiteghost I remember seeing him on one of your posts being ugly. I'm glad you blocked him. Which is probably why you didn't realize that it got much worse 😔 Anyway, our safe space has returned. You are now free to move about the aircraft. Hahaha
@CutePolypremum I’m going to toot my own horn… I created it….
@princesspitstop ya! Dealt with too many of men like him.. I’m a retired registered dental assistant… and no I will not get you coffee!
@ZestyWhiteghost yes, please break more rules! I want to see more of your plants!! 🪴😍🤩
@princesspitstop
Thanks Heidi...
"You are now free to move about the aircraft" cracked me up! 😆😅😄😂😁

@ZestyWhiteghost oh boy, as a nurse I get it! I have put so many men in their place. I literally say “if you don’t pump the brakes and stop being rude and entitled, I’m walking out the door and you can get what you need yourself.”
@HolyLacealoe The verrucosum is the philodendron ☺️
@ZestyWhiteghost to quote, well YOU!, WHOLLYGWACKAMOLEY! Look at that euphorbia!!!
@MamaLinne exactly right! I hear ya! 😇
@MamaLinne That’s the one that my husband got me from Costco…. He’s my enabler…. I just love that plant!!
@DreamMachine WHOLLYGWAKAMOLLY! That’s huge and healthy! Congrats 🎊!
@MamaLinne I tried to grow Hoyas. Not my plant… just like orchids… some ya just have to give up so they will live!! 🤣😆
Wait what!!! He's gone!!!

@DreamMachine OMG its fuzzy stem!!! The leaf, the stem, it looks so alien!! 👽 I love love love it!!! 🤩💕💕💕
@princesspitstop right! So much fuzz 🥰 Cute lil alien 👽 😊
@ZestyWhiteghost Oh please don't give up on the Hoya. If you need help I got you!! They are a little strange on how they like their soil but once you know what they like they are super easy and laid back. 🫶😍
@DreamMachine Look at him go! 🙌🙌🙌
@princesspitstop @CutePolypremum @MamaLinne @debbiedo Please sic me on anyone causing problems. I've developed a lovely veneer of being a nice person, and I guess overall I am but I love nothing better than ripping someone a new hole if they decide to be unpleasant. As Marie the Aristocat said, "(I) don't start fights, but I can finish them". See, when someone says 'what would Jesus do' I like to remind them that flipping tables and whipping people is absolutely on the table. Anyway! 😂 I can't pick a favorite. They all have different reasons to love them and my variety doesn't help. So today I honor Ke$ha the snake plant for Most Impressive Turnaround. I didn't think she'd survive when I found her neglected in a dark corner actively decaying, now I've got to consider if I want an outdoor patch of snake plants or if I'm ok with it reaching the ceiling in about 2 years.
@CactusAdjacent I love this! I’m making a note…”bichwich = the muscle” 💪🏻
@CactusAdjacent Looks like him and your African Milk tree are neck and neck!! 😁🏁 Rescues have a way of trading growth for love don't they?❤️🥰
@debbiedo it's my moniker for a reason 🤓

@MamaLinne @BEsucculent @CutePolypremum @debbiedo @DreamMachine @princesspitstop @ZestyWhiteghost @CactusAdjacent @SuperbRaspfern @HolyLacealoe @RefinedSandwort Well Wowzer! I’m gone for one day and I miss all the drama!!!🎭 Glad whoever it was is gone 💨!!
It’s hard to pic just one but hard pressed to do so I’d have to say Hoya Krimson Queen. She’s one of my oldest and has been a pleasure the entire time. Hoyas are funky and funny, all the tendrils following the light, beautiful flowers that mostly smell good 👍 😝 @MamaLinne your Princess 👸 is stunning! I got one last year and she’s a lot like the Queen- super pretty and so easy going 🫠🫠

@MamaLinne as a thin and generally demure woman, I've had several people try to take advantage of the fact and think they can speak/act however they please at my expense. One is currently going bankrupt because I (the backbone of the operation) sent an email for my last check and blocked all communication. Another was fighting back tears after the extremely personal and razor sharp observation of their character (or lack thereof). I'm not mean by default but I do make grown men cry with words alone 💀
@MariansOasis Ahh Definite Royalty!
@CactusAdjacent yeah Bichwich!! 👏👏 😂🥰
@CactusAdjacent this particular guy was an obvious troll, however, and/or narcissist. The kind that *loves* you to argue back. If this ever happens again, the tactic is flat out ignore, dont be baited, no matter how tempting. I’m VERY good at ignoring things until they go away 😂
@DreamMachine @CactusAdjacent
A bully and narcissist will keep hounding a person until his bluff is called. I feel not to respond in anger but with facts...only then will that person back down, otherwise he will continue to spread lies, hatred, and ignorance.
This in turn could potentially lure innocent people into his way of thinking.
Violence begets violence whereas love is the greatest weapon.

@DreamMachine
@CutePolypremum Is a Mama Bear who loves and protects fiercely. I love Joanie with ALL my heart. She was one the first to embrace me on Greg. I knew from the beginning she was an incredible, kind, worldly and protective loving person. Her gentle soul and yet fierce protection as well as her ability to get to know each and every one of us is unique, generous and makes you feel lie family. I only wish to be half as wonderful as she is. I will ALWAYS treasure you Joanie, I hope you know that!!! Every time we talk I feel like I'm getting a warm embrace from thousand of miles away!

@CutePolypremum Is a Mama Bear who loves and protects fiercely. I love Joanie with ALL my heart. She was one the first to embrace me on Greg. I knew from the beginning she was an incredible, kind, worldly and protective loving person. Her gentle soul and yet fierce protection as well as her ability to get to know each and every one of us is unique, generous and makes you feel lie family. I only wish to be half as wonderful as she is. I will ALWAYS treasure you Joanie, I hope you know that!!! Every time we talk I feel like I'm getting a warm embrace from thousand of miles away!

@SuperbRaspfern oh yes she is! 🥰 And yes she certainly does! Love you Joanie @CutePolypremum
…I hope you don’t think anything I said ever implied otherwise?

Oh gosh...my lovely, awesome Shannon.
First of all...I'll never look at Cheerios in the same way again.
You truly cracked me up with that one! 😎😆😉
Your message once again brings tears to my eyes.
It's packed full of love and so much more.
I'm getting more feisty and independent in my old age...Watch out anyone who ditzes my friends on Greg. Mama bear will get her claws out! 😐😑😶😃
I've been meaning to ask you, how is your Behcets since moving to your dream Paradise? I'm hoping the symptoms greatly diminish.
Love you to pieces!
Your partner in crime...Joanie

Oh my lovely, sweet Nadia!
I was wondering if my comment would offend you and apologize for not making it clear that I love and respect you and that it's great we have different opinions!
As you can read from the above post from Shannon, Mama bear is ever present! Lol.... 😅😉

@CutePolypremum sometimes you just gotta slap someone in the feelings, spank them with personal observations and me, my feelings can only be hurt if I value their opinion. I think there's been far too much cheek turning, I will punch a bully in the face irl and prove it was warranted by a jury of my peers. Don't ask how I know this.
@CactusAdjacent
Howdy!
Well...I respect your manner in which you deal with certain situations but gotta say that I practice "ahismsa"
which means non-violence in thought, word, and deed.

@CutePolypremum you'll have to excuse me there, I grew up and still live in an area where being kidnapped and later dumped lifeless in a ditch is a very real possibility. If the cops had the ability to respond in less than an hour, I might have a different attitude, but around here you carry a firearm not because you think it looks cool but because you never know if that meth addict is going to make good on trying to remove your head with a piece of rusty barbed wire and a utility blade ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@CactusAdjacent
OMG....😐😑😶
Thanks so much for explaining!
I had no idea that you're living under the threat of violence.
If it were me, I just couldn't bear that environment and would get the heck out of Dodge.
Getting back to plants...
As I was saying about my Christmas Cactus.... 😅 😍🎆

@CutePolypremum I love you dearly my friend 🥰 Thank you for being there for me and just simply being you. I love you to pieces Mama Bear 🥰🫶🦄🌈🌿
@CutePolypremum Moving is a luxury for people with a credit score and a 5 digit savings account. I don't even qualify to open one so 🤷 I know you didn't mean to sound condescending, and I mean that genuinely. It's just that people who have never had to choose between electricity and groceries for the week kinda. Don't get it.
@LucidPlants03 update she didn’t make it. She had root rot

Hi!
I'm not starting an argument 🙂 but you don't know anything about me or my life.
Just a few things...
We lived off the grid for years, hauling water and using an outhouse.
I've been extremely poor, often living on rice for months.
I had typhoid while penniless in Greece but somehow survived.
We lived with villagers in India for years...bucket baths, bathroom in the fields, eating off banana
leaves...
Homeless in foreign countries but enjoyed living and traveling in our Volkswagen bus, selling our crafts along the way.
Sometimes when we did well, we splurged on a hotel/pension.
Other times....not so easy.
These experiences have made me a stronger person and I appreciate having gone through them because they also made me the person I am today, appreciating simple things and helping others whenever possible.
Please don't put me down because I abhore violence!
I live on my small Social Security check and get by month-to-month just fine.
I feel blessed and happy.
Having plants has added such a good thing to my life and for this I'm grateful 🙏🏻. The real bonus is our awesome Greg Community and loving, enjoying, learning, sharing, and helping each other.
Just wanted to share from my heart ❤️ with you and wishing that your life becomes easier...
It's not always greener on the other side of the fence and I wish you can someday have a peaceful 🙏🏻 ✨️ life...
