37 years ago today my parents were gifted this Pothos when I was born
better to have than to need
My husband built me a hanging light system so I could dedicate a whole wall to my moss poles 🥰
Really hoping this one doesn’t get root rot
I’ve been wondering why my Dracaena was always leaning.
I need a new house
I got tired of typical grow lights not matching my space, so I came up with my own solution
I must be doing something right
Beautiful fenestrations appeared overnight on my new monstera!! Nature is wonderful
My Monstera doesn't stop growing, and now it reached the ceiling, what are my options?
