🐝  Sometimes we make sacrifices for the future of plants everywhere, at least sometimes @NightBloom does. She noticed a solitary leaf cutter bee had taken up home in her spider plant and, admirably, is letting it wither until the new baby bees emerge. #SaveTheBees indeed. https://greg.app/post/16BGCS

🧙🏻‍♂️  Good to see you and your new Peperomia, @KillerTofu! Sounds like the job and life are super exciting. Love Orwell's pot and cannot wait to see him grow! https://greg.app/post/3QRHNF

😲  @hoooneybugs claims to have found the perfect Dragon Scale Alocasia and it's truly hard to argue with her. AND SO CHEAP! The leaves in the pictures are just amazing. What a find! https://greg.app/post/1YXTPN

🌸  Did you get a chance to see @AC73LoveCats' garden??? The flowers are absolutely popping off! I love how colorful it all is and full of life! https://greg.app/post/3R6L6K

📷  Finally, check out @A.J.'s in credible photoshoot of her plants. Love when we get super artsy on here. Plants are so beautiful and A.J.'s are no exception! https://greg.app/post/3J4M11

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

Answer

#newgrowth for #freshleaffriday  on the monstera that inspired my username this time last year!

Answer

Spring has sprung here and there are new leaves and pups everywhere I look!

Answer

Lots of #NewGrowth all over my tiny Hoyas, these are some of my favorites. First one on the Sunrise is so whacky with the way the growth points and the 4 new leaves are arranged. Second has such interesting coloration, on the Carnosa Wilbur Graves, will be curious to see what these leaves look like when they mature. Third, can’t be considered new growth much longer after blowing up last night, but I’ve been ogling the beautiful tiny lines on the Gunung Gading.

Answer

Answer

#GregGang #FreshLeafFriday Just 2 more #NewGrowth #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

Answer

@SwiftMedeola Leslie! Beautiful! Your summer flowers (perennials?) are starting up before mine. I planted my vegs last weekend and hope to have time to post about it soon. And— I planted my zinnia seeds in the zinnia garden, including the ones you sent me! I always have to plant those the first  frost-free weekend when I plant the tomatoes because they need to get ahead of the weeds that will also come up, and choke them out, which is a superpower of zinnias.  I saved the button box kind to plant somewhere else I will figure out, because button zinnias are smaller and the larger zinnia plants end up pushing them around, even when I plant them in front. This weekend I work on the marigolds and then, impatiens. Love seeing your flower pics! @SwiftMedeola

Answer

@Halfhalf I’m absolutely fascinated with your Philodendron Birkin 😍💕👍👍

Answer

I’m so excited to see a new leaf and root popping up on my orchid. I’ve never been able to keep one alive before but thanks to #OrchidLovers for all the advice it’s growing happily. My pothos is sending out happy shoots after cutting off a few leaves for props. My begonias are flowering which is so great bc all of my others (and my coleus’) died over the winter.

Answer

Lots and lots of new growth here...😍😍😍

A mighty big surprise too... my husband bought me a greenhouse!  🤗🤗🤗 very exciting...

Answer

Answer

@MariansOasis hey 👋 if you get any corms or babies from your stingray I'd love to trade you for someeeeee🙌

Answer

It's been only shy of a month since I picked Chester up off his back in a neglected tray at the local gardening center. I fell in love. I cleaned up the excess growth, chopped a couple babies off and here he is now growing another baby off one of the previous babies. He's come a long way. 🥰

Answer

Starting to turn pink more and more now

Answer

Glad I caught this one blooming because the flowers only last one day.

Answer

@BotanicalBarbie I’m not sure if there really is a blue Venus fly trap.  I have heard people in reviews say there isn’t.  But even if it’s a regular fly trap it’s still really cool.  Just keep the soil wet and use distilled water and keep high humidity and lots of light.  They will go dormant without enough light.  And don’t throw them away if they die.  They usually just go dormant and will grow back

Answer

Thank you!! Blue is not a natural color to achieve with any plant, but I’m still stoked if it actually grows a real live Venus fly trap! I have him sitting under a grow light to help give him a boost. Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it. ￼💙

Answer

@BotanicalBarbie I love carnivorous plants.  Always have.  The fly traps are a little higher maintenance but always cool to have.  I have one.  It gets white flowers that look really nice.  I didn’t know they flowered until I saw this one flower.  My pitcher plant was repotted and the pitchers are getting bigger.  Just took these pictures.  The other pitcher plant in the last pic also needs to be repotted now

Answer

@BotanicalBarbie make sure the grow lights are on for a long time.  I think people usually give them like 15 hours of light a day or more.  I have to check what mine is set at.  Mine is starting to go dormant and made need more light for longer now.   The only blue plants I usually see in nature are cacti.  There’s some cacti that have some really cool looking blue skin

Answer

#NewGrowth lots of new growth this week. The new leaf on the caletha is my favorite this week. I rescued her a few weeks back from Home Depot. So I’m happy for the new leaf

Answer

My co-workers for today 🤣🤣🤣

Answer

@BotanicalBarbie and yeah regardless of what color it ends up being it’s going to be so cool if it’s a fly trap.  They get super tiny traps at first.  Also look into getting sundew plants.  That’s one of the easiest to grow and care for and they eat way more bugs since the leaves are sticky they can catch bugs of almost any size.  The fly trap has to have the perfect size bugs.  Not too big and not too small.  The sundew eats everything.  Especially fungus gnats

Answer

@AnthuriumQueen what is the black soil you’re using?  I can’t tell if it’s pumice or rocks or what but it looks so good with the plants like that.

Answer

@SirLiquorice Gorgeous!! I love it! I grow vegetable plants too. Probably kinda weird to tell folks you’re growing spaghetti squash on the window ledge of your bedroom! 😂

Answer

@skyhighsplants - a plant exchange would be so fun!

Answer

#NewGrowth #Dieffenbachia #Philodendron #BirdOfParadise  I’m always excited to see a new leaf on the philodendron that one takes so long to produce them seems like. I’ve had it since November and only 2 new leaves…

Answer

@BotanicalBarbie I only have tomato plants growing right now.  But they are out on the front porch and balcony.  Along with about 200 cacti and succulents. Lol

Answer

@AC73LoveCats , those selfish BIG zinnias, always pushing the smaller ones around! 😂 Look forward to your veggie growth. I had some pretty white marigolds (big too). If I had known I would have sent you some of those. I honestly have too many seeds, esp. annuals and veggies. I did just throw out (literally) some bunny grass and rudbeckia seeds together. The grass is already coming up. They’re so soft and fluffy, hence their name. Old rudbeckia seeds, although I did get some new this year too (Rudbeckia Sahara) . Germinated quite well, just planted them a couple days ago. Anyways, keep posting🙂

Answer

I have some blooming Calla Lilies #FreshLeafFriday #FreshFeaturedFriday

Answer

@BotanicalBarbie I absolutely love plant swapping! It's my favorite way to get plants and as long as I don't have it, I'm always down to swap! 🙌

Answer

That was a great group of updates I would have otherwise missed, @RJG Thank you for your work on this app!

Here’s some new spring growth around my little cottage on the hill.

Answer

@didikillit Maybe you should be didikillinit! Looks great!

Answer

@SirLiquorice - I’m going to look for sundew plants now! Thanks for feeding my addiction! 😅

Answer

@skyhighsplants That 1st pic is so cute! I have an Albo wet stick on its way. I may need help! Lots of help!

Answer

Here’s mine! Gloriousm, variegated Frydek and variegated epipremnum Pinnatum

Answer

@skyhighsplants it’s pretty new and little still but will definitely do that when corms happen. I got it at our local Armstrong nursery at 50% off!!  They we’re moving out a lot of plants 🪴 to make room for the next holiday, I think Valentine’s Day 😆

Answer

Must add to #FreshLeafFriday this beauty! It’s not an issue, it’s actually a light leaf with chocolate markings!! Two of them. And an older leaf (not pictured) with pink on it. I love this plant!! #Philodendron #PhiloFlock #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

Answer

@SirLiquorice It’s both Pumice and a bark mix I make.

Answer

@RJG - I will, thank you

Answer

@Growbabiesgrow , so pretty!

Answer

@AnthuriumQueen I was thinking it may be pumice.  It just looks so pretty like that with the jars.  Adds to the beauty

Answer

@JCPlantProper I really like that 2nd variegated one.  Not even normally my style of plant but that one looks awesome.  I always liked the white and green contrast like that.  And it just looks adorable being tiny like that.  But the leaves look pretty awesome on the other two as well.

Answer

@KDkat3 the textured leaves on that alocasia look so cool and crazy.

Answer

@Growbabiesgrow calla lilies always have some of the coolest looking flowers.  I have been tempted to buy some before just because of their flowers

Answer

@Plantmumvirgin that diffenbachia is getting so big!  I am afraid of what I will do with mine once it gets bigger.  Have to make some more room for it.

Answer

So happy these babies are growing. Especially the oxalis 😍 she was super leggy before and I took her outside and she is doing so good!

Answer

@SirLiquorice I know … I have a room I can move it to… her name is lotto…. I stay looking 👀 for new leaf 🍃 on her. This time there’s 2

Answer

My Ravens showing out some #FreshLeafFriday love

Answer

This is on one of my Monsteras with the use of #keikipaste. Thank you @Sassylimey for mine. Woohoo!

Answer

Now you can really see the color change.  Starts out orange or salmon and starts turning more and more pink as the days pass by.  They last much longer than most other cacti also.  I had never seen color changing flowers before this plant.

Answer

@SirLiquorice they are planted outside.. have been for years and are unfortunately neglected.. but they come back every year and are so pretty 🤩 I love seeing them bloom

Answer

@SirLiquorice , oh wow, “picture perfect”. 🥰

Answer

@SirLiquorice I have a gymno that looks extreeeeemely similar to that one, I hope its blooms look like that

Answer

Ech flowers are fun

Answer

@Dustmite this one keeps blooming.  It’s just gotten started for the year but it’s already had at least 3 flowers now.  And it keeps blooming until winter almost usually.  It flowers more than most of my other cacti and the flowers last longer too.  Not just one or two days. And it’s my only cactus with color changing flowers. I have another smaller one like it that gets red flowers.  But they are both gymnoclaycium baldianum

Answer

@Dustmite that echeveria in the 3rd pic looks really thirsty.  Does it normally have the shriveled appearance in the leaves like that?  I don’t have one exactly like that.  I have a cactus that seems to always look dehydrated

Answer

Thank you for featuring my post once again on, it is always an honor❤️ and this even is for a better cause 🐝❤️ #FreshLeafFriday

Answer

@SirLiquorice I have a number of echeveria where the original nursery growth looks dehydrated under the growlight but all of the new growth is tight and firm... that particular one I think is a hybrid, its leaves are extremely fleshy.  Im just letting them grow out and replace the original growth
