It’s a lot of plants. About half-and-half cactus and other succulents. It’s more plants than I ought to have. It’s certainly more plants than ought to make up only part of my plants.

Newest addition to the menagerie: Drosera regia, the King Sundew. Native to South Africa, the leaves can reach a length of 2 feet. Botanists regard regia as the most ancient of all Drosera species.

Found a mealybug in my croton!

But, my current philosophy is that since these plants and the bugs who live on them are a part of this world, this is a part of the deal in keeping them. Houseplants always living in less then ideal conditions will eventually get them.

Just going to do some population control, like I've decided to do with the gnats that really thrive in our shady backyard and therefore always also end up indoors.*

*not looking for advice, I know what to do.

Nice surprise this morning. El Punko's snake plant, which is temporarily living in my part of the house, has sent up a flower spike. First time for this plant which is now about 3 years old. We searched for photos of the flower & it's going to be stunning. Don't be jealous.

Photo taken inside during the day, natural light falling over the blade foliage of a variegated snake plant. These blades are dark green with lighter vertical green stripes. A thick light green stem grows up amongst the blades with tiny green ball shaped buds on it. Little drops of moisture hang from some of the bud clusters.

A beautiful lush plant sits next to a bright window. Leaves are large and green with a light veining.

Morning light shines on a big green plant. Leaves are somewhat heart shaped.

A muted, artistic take on the strawberry blossoms while they're still floral.

I re-potted a big Crassula - it was leaning extremely, only supported by our winter garden wall. It stands on its own - for now. Any suggestions how to support it? Help? #bigplantproblems #houseplants #succulents

Flowers of Drosera capensis, the Cape Sundew.

A close-up of a green Cape Sundew plant stem featuring budding flowers with purple tips. The stem has a slight curve and is covered with fine hairs. A blurred, floral-patterned background is visible.

Lost the previously posted strawberries to hungry spider mites, but so far the other, younger strawberry plants remain happy and unscathed. May that continue.

#Spring indoors as well as out! #WindowsillWednesday with Weingartia #Cactus
#BloomScrolling #Florespondence #houseplants #IndoorGardening

Looking not quite directly from the top at a small cactus- semi-globular to barrel shaped, a few fingers across the top. It has many narrow ribs each with many 'chins', each capped with an aereole with a small bit of wool and a handful of golden to darker spines, some erect, some flatter against the body. In the front centre and to the right are two small bright golden yellow flowers held just a little above the plant. Each flower has many closely spaced petals, rising in a small tube then recurving, outward.The centre holds many tiny pale pollen bearing stamens curving inward toward the stigma.

I've been reading Sarah Gerrard-Jones' book 'Cacti and Succulents' ahead of her talks at #RHSMalvernSpringFestival (Review copy given. Not paid.)

It's a detailed look at these intriguing plants that have adapted to cope with some extreme climates. My review and a look ahead to the show on my blog: https://bit.ly/4cPScL8

Thanks to DK Living UK for the review copy.

Apparently, philodendrons can bloom.
I just found out today, when this Costco rescue casually decided to grow a flower like it’s no big deal.

Good morning everyone.

Some phalaenopsis orchids in bloom; yellows, pinks, purples, and glorious white.

Spa day for my elkhorn fern (Platycerium bifurcatum). Hard to believe it was once the size of an orange. #HousePlants #fern #elkhorn #platycerium #plants #epiphyte #bath

Plant with long, bifurcating leaves and a brown, ball-like center relaxing in a white bathtub that has a slight blue tinge due to fertilizer.

Just printed a few of my Plant Pot Spacer Rings again, and I’m happy to say they’re still working great after all this time! It’s a small tweak, but it really helps my houseplants avoid soggy roots. If you haven’t tried these yet, maybe give them a go!

My mum gave me this Chinese money plant (that's what she said it was anyway) about a month ago. It's growing up nicely but I'm sure I could be doing more to help it thrive. Any tips on how to care for it?
