Happy Wednesday to my fellow plant loving friends!
It’s time for #brunchataudreys 🌱
I’m looking forward to today as my boss last minute gave me the day off to pack for moving but I think I’m just gonna relax today! My dad had surgery yesterday so we’re taking it slow this morning & enjoying listening to the birds chirp while he reads his latest Stephen King novel 😂
Let’s hear it for spring time!!
Included are pics of one of my setups…which will soon be taken down as we get ready to move but that’s okay because that just means I can finally take my new plant shelf with built in grow lights for a spin, soon 😈😈
Also - check out how much my San Pedro cacti have grown since last April! We shall have tea in no time 🤩🌱 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #GregPlantShop

I’m so happy for your move!! I need to get your new address so I can send you a housewarming plant… I mean gift 😏
Everything looks great! Hope your dad heals quick.
I hope your dad recovers quickly and the move goes well.
I'm in love with that Hoya Lacunosa, it's stunning 🥰
@elisenavidad

Hello dear Elise and everyone...

Your plants are beautiful 😍.

Hoping your dad feels better real soon and that the move goes smoothly!
@elisenavidad Love your minimalist front yard so lush and green!!
@Sassylimey thank you & thank you!? You’re so sweet. He’s doing well so far, I’m in charge today while moms at work 😏🫡
@TheOddAsity hahahaha you da best, Ape!! I’ll have to get a dang PO Box, thanks for the reminder 😂😂
@CutePolypremum thank you, angel! I hope you’re doing well, yourself!!
@Ms.Persnickety awww thank you for noticing, I appreciate that. I hope you’re doing good 🤍
@elisenavidad Thanks for asking, yes I’m doing alright. Hope you’re doing good as well.
They all look amazing! I love the second one—what’s it called? 😍 Wishing your dad a speedy recovery 💗 I hope your move goes well too!
Hi @elisenavidad the plants are looking 🪴👀 so good 😊. Glad your dad’s recovering nicely. Enjoy some free time today especially with a move coming up!🙌
@OrangeGrass hey!! Thank you! The second photo is a Hoya Lacunosa according to the plant tag it came with..however, I think it may be a Lacunosa silver or something like that. I can’t tell for sure yet!
@MariansOasis I absolutely am! Thank you 🤍🤍
@elisenavidad they are beautiful 🤩. I’m glad your dad is doing better. Good luck on the move. Can’t wait for the pictures
@elisenavidad Good luck with the move! Hope you’ve got a good location for your plant babies at the new location!
I spy with my little eye… is that a White Monster?
@FitBrowallia thank you and thank you!! I will certainly be keeping everyone updated. I know I’ll need some #ShelfHelp too 😂
@RefinedSandwort thank you for your kind words, Joy! We’re officially one week away!! I cannot wait 🤩
@Araceae yes ma’am it is 🫡

GOOD EYE 👁️😏
@elisenavidad i dunno why do so many people think i'm female 😂. Am i typing in a feminine way i don't know of?
@Araceae bahahaha honestly, I have a habit of just saying yes ma’am so please don’t take any offense to it 😂😂 I really should watch the pronouns I use when typing SO SRRY😂
@elisenavidad haha a couple others have done it, dont worry. Honestly half expecting it sometimes especially with big groups
@elisenavidad i love the White Monster tho! I suppose it's the Kunzo lineage?
@Araceae well thanks for the understanding 😂😂

&& duuuude now that you say that I should’ve asked the guy when I bought it. I got it from Seattle Plant Daddy at a plant show & it was so busy, there was one of these guys left & I snatched it and gtfo there 😂😂

Is there a way I can know for sure??😂
@Araceae also can I ask? Have you always lived in Singapore? What are the native plants like there? I’m so fascinated lol, I had no idea you lived there!
@elisenavidad hard to tell at a young age. But once it's grown quite large you should be able to differentiate it from others. The main lineage would be Kunzo, but occasionally they may sell others like Mints as White Monsters, or there may be some variation in the TC seedlings, then i suppose it wouldn't be a 'pure' White Monster. Difficult lah, at this point Kunzo is just a synonym for White Monster
@Araceae ahhhh this is super interesting. Thank you for sharing that! I’ve had a hard time myself trying to find a solid answer regarding whether it’s mint labeled as a white monster or what. However, he also had a mint monstera though & I was at a toss up between the two - they did look completely different & the veins especially..so I guess we’ll see as she ages 😇
@elisenavidad yes, i grew uo here. My parents and all are Singaporeans. We have fascinating natives! My favs are Scindapsus pictus, Schismatoglottis wallichii, Rhopaloblaste singaporensis which is a cool palm, Nepenthes rafflesiana, Singapore Rhododendron [neither restricted to Singapore nor a Rhododendron, the berries stain your mouth black], Cryptocoryne x timahensis [cool rare hybrid semi-aquatic plant, found only in a pool in Bukit Timah created when the Japs built a small dam there during WWII], Maiden's Jealousy [smells like honeysuckle], Phalaenopsis cornu-cervi, Tiger orchid [largest in the world], Cymbidium finlaysonianum , Macodes petola, Neohelaphyllum pulcher, Arachnis hookeriana, Acriopsis ridleyi, Bulbophyllum lobbii and maxillare, Pigeon Dendrobium, Renanthera elongata, Nervilia singaporeansis [lovely endemic ground orchid, very elusive, found only in Bukit Timah], Ficus villosa [like pumila but it shingles and is fuzzy]… i could go on! You'd be quite surprised, we're soo close to Malaysia [could literally swim across, provided both side the patrol boats off-duty and you don't get rammed by a boat], so small yet we've got PLENTY of endemics! It's too bad we can't grow highland plants outside tho, would love a dozen Anthurium warocqueanums.
@Araceae holy shit that is amazing… yall got schismataglottis??? That is fascinating & im so jealous 😭😭

You’ve really educated yourself as well, its impressive! Thank you for sharinginf all of this, you really live in a gorgeous place…I also had no idea you were practically a damn rocks throw away from Malaysia??? Ughhh what I’d do to see those plants 🤩
Wednesday is my watering day😂
@PlantsWithJules heck ya!! What a great day for your plants, they must be so happy 🤩
