I guess I'll show a few of my plants. This is a cutting of a Monstera adansonii and he's been so impossibly good and well behaved since finding his confidence. He is constantly showing off by unfurling new leaves. I'm looking forward to a long life together.  I have a number of Philodendrons that I rescued from work. This is a 'Red Congo'. He was only two pock-marked leaves when I brought him home and he's done very well for himself, I'd say. He's another one I have a tremendous soft spot for and seeing him do well makes me happy.  This Philodendron 'Shangri-La' was so sad when I took him home. He's bounced back with triple the number of leaves, however. He's looking a bit chlorotic but I'm working on it. I do well this aroids but that's... not really a flex... they're just kind creatures.  This Maranta must be around 7 or 8 years old. Came from one of those planters you buy that are all done up with multiple tropical plants together. Poor gal was only one leaf for over a year but I couldn't let her go. She's been very reliable since.  Ardisia elliptica wins the award for 'Most Plant'. It's just so planty. A planty plant.  Pilea cadierei. Another rescue, another happy plant that's been rewarding and never fussy.  Monster Pilea peperomioides, lol. I'm currently raising seven of its offshoots.  Begonias aren't the easiest things for me to keep around but this one has been doing well since September, when I took him home.  Episcia, or flame violets are awesome plants and super easy to grow. Easier than their cousins, the African violets, imo. This one flowers a beautiful coral orange. I'm also propagating a green and brown leafed variety with white flowers.  yoinked a planetlet of this curly spider plant a few years ago and yeah. This plant hasn't asked anything of me but that's just how all Chlorophytums are, at the end of the day.  Decade old Cissus rhombifolia. Never been repotted. I love, him, though.  Aspidistra are so rare these days... So naturally, when we got when at work I had to steal a small piece and just look at that big flat leaf. He's a lady and I love her so much.  The Clivia is my "mom barometer". She seems to know what day of the year my mom comes to visit (we live 7 hours apart and I don't drive... heh) and waits for then to put out as many flowers as she can... hey, 8 blossoms this year isn't anything to scoff at. Sure Clivias online are just covered in flowers but mine only has that northern exposure to work with and she does such a good job. Many kisses her way.  My crown-of-thorns fell over so I planted him up in what I thought was a free planter but turns out I had marigold seeds in there so oh well, they'll share a pot. I can't wait until they bloom lol, it's gonna look so pretty later this month.  Speaking of marigolds. Marigolds in a solo cup are fun to bring inside and watch bloom  These rubber figs would love if I were to repot them. Not happening. >: )  3-year old Coleus plant. I gave him a big trimming this year. I have big plans for him, I plan on training him into a bonsai over the course of the next decade. |

Plant MONSTER your plants are rad as heck and you seem to know a lot about em! Don't lightshame yourself!! I've never propagated a plant without it eventually dying as a lil tiny dude. That's a real skill. Also, thanks for the plant love, I'll let them know they're BYOB famous. The secret to growing them is that they don't actually require anything besides you worrying about em. |

My plants are a pretty modest lot. I have a small balcony garden, and I got some houseplants last year...Prof. Crocodile posted:Well I finally got some indoor plants. Front (l to r) a pepperamia of some kind, two cacti. Rear (l to r) a ming fern, a plain old fern. Jaguars! posted:Grace, Keith And now 6 months later, the pepperamia and ming fern are growing like gangbusters, and the cacti are stable. Sadly Keith the big fern has recently taken a turn for the worse, developing lots of brown fronds. I have moved him from the sun, and tried misting him, so we'll see what happens.

Is there such a thing as too many leaves on a plant like this? It seems to unfurl a new giant leaf ever few weeks with more on the way.

Bo-Pepper posted:Well good. It looks like it's working on three more. I'll just take that to mean it's happy. One of my favorite gardening books starts the chapter on houseplants with the observation that while many people say they want to grow houseplants, they don’t actually want to grow houseplants. They want to keep houseplants alive and basically the same size, which is actually kind of harder than growing houseplants bigger.

Few months later update: Hector has gotten Pretty Bigger  A couple months ago I sampled a tiny bit of the digestive juices from a newly opened (no bugs caught yet) pitcher, after doing a little research, just to see... Its extremely sweet like simple syrup but my throat hurt for three days as if I swallowed glass I don't recommend it lol |

Hey somebody else post!!! Heliamphora nutans is weird and its flowers are equally weird. They kinda Russian doll their way out of elongated pitchers and then out of the original flower stalks. The flower petals are pointy when they're actually open, but they don't stay open long.  Also, this pinguicula is goin hard on the flower game:
