A beautiful twist on the popular Rubber Fig is the cultivar ๐๐ช๐ค๐ถ๐ด ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ข๐ด๐ต๐ช๐ค๐ข '๐๐ถ๐ฃ๐บ'. Normal Rubber Figs have deep green leaves with a hint of burgundy. '๐๐ถ๐ฃ๐บ' has leaves streaked with creamy variegations, and new foliage is tinted reddish pink. ๐๐ช๐ค๐ถ๐ด ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ข๐ด๐ต๐ช๐ค๐ข is native to southeast Asia where it is found in wet tropical forests. It thrives in warm, humid conditions with bright indirect light and well-draining soil. #plants #plantstagram #plantsofinstagram #plantsmakemehappy #plantsmakepeoplehappy #houseplants #houseplantsofinstagram #houseplantcommunity #houseplantclub #indoorjungle #urbanjungle #urbanjunglebloggers #plantsplantsplants #plantlover #plantaddict #livingwithplants #garden #gardening #indoorgarden #tropicalplants #foliage #botanical #plantcommunity #ficusofinstagram #ficus #ficuselasticaruby #rubberplant https://www.instagram.com/p/CooF9w4MTIM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Itโs easy to see how the Eyelash Fern (๐๐ค๐ต๐ช๐ฏ๐ช๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ๐ช๐ด ๐ข๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐ณ๐ข๐ญ๐ช๐ด) got its common name. This neat little species is native to the islands of Mauritius and Rรฉunion off the coast of Madagascar. It loves a warm, humid environment with moderate lighting; making a great addition to a bathroom windowsill. #plants #plantstagram #plantsofinstagram #plantsmakemehappy #plantsmakepeoplehappy #houseplants #houseplantsofinstagram #houseplantcommunity #houseplantclub #indoorjungle #urbanjungle #urbanjunglebloggers #plantsplantsplants #plantlover #plantaddict #livingwithplants #garden #gardening #indoorgarden #tropicalplants #foliage #botanical #plantcommunity #ferns #fernsofinstagram #eyelashfern #actiniopterisaustralis https://www.instagram.com/p/CngJ1C4MOc_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The genus ๐๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ค๐ข๐ค๐ต๐ถ๐ด is a unique group of cacti from South America. They are closely related to the more familiar Prickly Pears of the genus ๐๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ต๐ช๐ข. With its rounded pine-shaped segments and paper-like spines, ๐๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ค๐ข๐ค๐ต๐ถ๐ด ๐ข๐ณ๐ต๐ช๐ค๐ถ๐ญ๐ข๐ต๐ถ๐ด makes an interesting specimen plant for the succulent enthusiast. This Argentinian species needs mineral-rich, fast-draining soil and plenty of bright light to thrive. #plants #plantstagram #plantsofinstagram #plantsmakemehappy #plantsmakepeoplehappy #houseplants #houseplantsofinstagram #houseplantcommunity #houseplantclub #indoorjungle #urbanjungle #urbanjunglebloggers #plantsplantsplants #plantlover #plantaddict #livingwithplants #garden #gardening #indoorgarden #tropicalplants #foliage #botanical #plantcommunity #succulents #succulentsofinstagram #succulentlove #cactus #tephrocactusarticulatus https://www.instagram.com/p/CmMxk15v-jW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I love the simplistic beauty of my ๐๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ช๐ข ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ญ๐บ๐ฃ๐ฐ๐ต๐ณ๐บ๐ข. This species from Peru, Colombia, and Ecuador is commonly known as the โRaindrop Peperomia.โ Thick, succulent leaves and stems hints to the fact that this plant likes lower humidity level and to have its soil dry out between waterings. ๐๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ช๐ข ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ญ๐บ๐ฃ๐ฐ๐ต๐ณ๐บ๐ข makes a hardy specimen for a warm spot with bright, indirect lighting. #plants #plantstagram #plantsofinstagram #plantsmakemehappy #plantsmakepeoplehappy #houseplants #houseplantsofinstagram #houseplantcommunity #houseplantclub #indoorjungle #urbanjungle #urbanjunglebloggers #plantsplantsplants #plantlover #plantaddict #livingwithplants #garden #gardening #indoorgarden #tropicalplants #foliage #botanical #plantcommunity #succulents #succulentsofinstagram #succulentlove #peperomia #peperomiapolybotrya https://www.instagram.com/p/CmLNxdqsx7y/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

As a side hobby, I've started pressing and preserving the old leaves of my houseplants when I prune them. The top and bottom leaves are from ๐๐ฉ๐ช๐ญ๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ฃ๐ช๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ช๐ง๐ฐ๐ญ๐ช๐ถ๐ฎ, center left is ๐๐บ๐ฏ๐จ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ช๐ถ๐ฎ ๐ค๐ฉ๐ช๐ข๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ด๐ฆ, and center right is ๐๐ฉ๐ช๐ญ๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ข๐ค๐ฆ๐ถ๐ฎ. If you would like the try this yourself, simply place a leaf between two layers of absorbent paper (I like to use large coffee filters). Place the layers of paper between two pieces of corrugated cardboard. Lastly, place a heavy object on top of the cardboard, such as a stack of books. Allow the leaves to dry completely, which typically takes 2 to 3 weeks. #plants #plantstagram #plantsofinstagram #plantsmakemehappy #plantsmakepeoplehappy #houseplants #houseplantsofinstagram #houseplantcommunity #houseplantclub #indoorjungle #urbanjungle #urbanjunglebloggers #plantsplantsplants #plantlover #plantaddict #livingwithplants #garden #gardening #indoorgarden #tropicalplants #foliage #botanical #plantcommunity #aroids #aroidsofinstagram #philodendrons #syngoniums #herbarium https://www.instagram.com/p/ClAhzqMM-uD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

One of the crown jewels of my collection is definitely this ๐๐ฉ๐ช๐ญ๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ฃ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ๐ช๐ฆ๐ต๐ช๐ข๐ฆ. This species of climbing Philodendron is native to Guyana, French Guiana, and Brazil. It is prized for its elongated leaves attached to bright orange petioles. ๐๐ฉ๐ช๐ญ๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ฃ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ๐ช๐ฆ๐ต๐ช๐ข๐ฆ enjoys a chunky well-draining potting mix, high humidity, and bright indirect light. #plants #plantstagram #plantsofinstagram #plantsmakemehappy #plantsmakepeoplehappy #houseplants #houseplantsofinstagram #houseplantcommunity #houseplantclub #indoorjungle #urbanjungle #urbanjunglebloggers #plantsplantsplants #plantlover #plantaddict #livingwithplants #garden #gardening #indoorgarden #tropicalplants #foliage #botanical #plantcommunity #aroids #aroidsofinstagram #philodendrons #philodendronbillietiae https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck2FAAysjxI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Would you just look at the pink splash on the new leaves of my ๐๐บ๐ฏ๐จ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ช๐ถ๐ฎ ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฉ๐บ๐ญ๐ญ๐ถ๐ฎ '๐๐ณ๐ช๐ค๐ฐ๐ญ๐ฐ๐ณ ๐๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ง๐ฆ๐ต๐ต๐ช'?!

It's another rainy autumn day, but my ๐๐ฉ๐ข๐ถ๐ฎ๐ข๐ต๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฉ๐บ๐ญ๐ญ๐ถ๐ฎ ๐ด๐ฑ๐ณ๐ถ๐ค๐ฆ๐ข๐ฏ๐ถ๐ฎ doesn't mind the added humidity! This species from northern South American is closely related to Philodendrons. It has been thriving with frequent watering, an airy soil mix, and partial sun from this south-facing window. #plants #plantstagram #plantsofinstagram #plantsmakemehappy #plantsmakepeoplehappy #houseplants #houseplantsofinstagram #houseplantcommunity #houseplantclub #indoorjungle #urbanjungle #urbanjunglebloggers #plantsplantsplants #plantlover #plantaddict #livingwithplants #garden #gardening #indoorgarden #tropicalplants #foliage #botanical #plantcommunity #aroids #aroidsofinstagram #philodendrons #thaumatophyllumspruceanum https://www.instagram.com/p/CkJUwALrD3w/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It's a ๐ง day here in southwestern Missouri, and the Flower-of-an-Hour (๐๐ช๐ฃ๐ช๐ด๐ค๐ถ๐ด ๐ต๐ณ๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ฎ) living on my bathroom windowsill is preparing to bloom. This small, spreading Hibiscus species is native arid regions in the Old World tropics. However, they are hardy down to USDA hardiness zone 2. They like full sun, regular watering, and well-draining soil. #plants #plantstagram #plantsofinstagram #plantsmakemehappy #plantsmakepeoplehappy #houseplants #houseplantsofinstagram #houseplantcommunity #houseplantclub #indoorjungle #urbanjungle #urbanjunglebloggers #plantsplantsplants #plantlover #plantaddict #livingwithplants #garden #gardening #indoorgarden #tropicalplants #foliage #botanical #plantcommunity #rockgarden #flowerofanhour #hibiscus #hibiscustrionum https://www.instagram.com/p/CkG8YWXvbfw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When you first see these adorable little globes, you might think that this is a cactus species. However, these are actually a Euphorbia. This is ๐ธ๐ข๐โ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ from South Africa, commonly referred to as "Basketball Plant." They enjoy full sun and fast-draining soil mix, and should be watered when the top inch of soil has completely dried out. #plants #plantstagram #plantsofinstagram #plantsmakemehappy #plantsmakepeoplehappy #houseplants #houseplantsofinstagram #houseplantcommunity #houseplantclub #indoorjungle #urbanjungle #urbanjunglebloggers #plantsplantsplants #plantlover #plantaddict #livingwithplants #garden #gardening #indoorgarden #tropicalplants #foliage #botanical #plantcommunity #succulents #succulentlove #succulentsofinstagram #euphorbiaobesa #basketballplant https://www.instagram.com/p/CjOHt8ELxd0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Check out the contrasting coloration on those leaves! This striking foliage belongs to ๐๐ญ๐ฐ๐ค๐ข๐ด๐ช๐ข ๐ฃ๐ข๐จ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ข '๐๐ช๐ญ๐ท๐ฆ๐ณ ๐๐ณ๐ข๐จ๐ฐ๐ฏ'. One of the small Jewel Alocasias, this species is native to the island of Borneo. They love a rich, well-draining soil with frequent waterings and bright, indirect light. #plants #plantstagram #plantsofinstagram #plantsmakemehappy #plantsmakepeoplehappy #houseplants #houseplantsofinstagram #houseplantcommunity #houseplantclub #indoorjungle #urbanjungle #urbanjunglebloggers #plantsplantsplants #plantlover #plantaddict #livingwithplants #garden #gardening #indoorgarden #tropicalplants #foliage #botanical #plantcommunity #aroids #aroidsofinstagram #alocasia #alocasiasilverdragon https://www.instagram.com/p/CjMiYzbMmnj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This little living gem is a succulent native to central Mexico called ๐๐ข๐ค๐ฉ๐บ๐ฑ๐ฉ๐บ๐ต๐ถ๐ฎ ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฌ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ช. The powdery blue coloration of the leaves is due to a waxy coating known as a "farina" that protects the plant from water loss. This species enjoys bright full sun, well-draining soil; and should dry out between waterings. #plants #plantstagram #plantsofinstagram #plantsmakemehappy #plantsmakepeoplehappy #houseplants #houseplantsofinstagram #houseplantcommunity #houseplantclub #indoorjungle #urbanjungle #urbanjunglebloggers #plantsplantsplants #plantlover #plantaddict #livingwithplants #garden #gardening #indoorgarden #tropicalplants #foliage #botanical #plantcommunity #succulents #succulentsofinstagram #succulentlove #pachyphytumhookeri https://www.instagram.com/p/ChlS09SMHXD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My favorite Aroid right now is definitely my ๐๐บ๐ฏ๐จ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ช๐ถ๐ฎ ๐ค๐ฉ๐ช๐ข๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ด๐ฆ '๐๐ณ๐ฐ๐ด๐ต๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐๐ฆ๐ข๐ณ๐ต'. I love the heart shape of the leaves, which are unique in this genus in the fact that they do not divide as the plant matures. This cultivated variety is often mislabeled under the species ๐๐บ๐ฏ๐จ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ช๐ถ๐ฎ ๐ฎ๐ข๐ค๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฉ๐บ๐ญ๐ญ๐ถ๐ฎ, and is also known by the nickname โ๐๐ค๐ฆ ๐๐ณ๐ฐ๐ด๐ตโ. It is native to the Chiapas region of southern Mexico and Guatemala. Likes its much more common cousin ๐๐บ๐ฏ๐จ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ช๐ถ๐ฎ ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฉ๐บ๐ญ๐ญ๐ถ๐ฎ, this plant enjoys indirect light, high humidity, and an airy soil mix. #plants #plantstagram #plantsofinstagram #plantsmakemehappy #plantsmakepeoplehappy #houseplants #houseplantsofinstagram #houseplantcommunity #houseplantclub #indoorjungle #urbanjungle #urbanjunglebloggers #plantsplantsplants #plantlover #plantaddict #livingwithplants #garden #gardening #indoorgarden #tropicalplants #foliage #botanical #plantcommunity #aroids #aroidsofinstagram #syngoniums #syngoniumsofinstagram #syngoniumfrostedheart https://www.instagram.com/p/Chid65Dr8jb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I love it when plants are not only visually appealing, but also have a unique texture. The leaves of this ๐๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ค๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ฆ ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ข๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ด๐ช๐ด '๐๐ช๐ฏ๐ช๐ฎ๐ข' are covered in fine hairs and feel like crushed felt. This succulent species from Madagascar enjoys full sun, warm temperatures, and well-draining soil. #plants #plantstagram #plantsofinstagram #plantsmakemehappy #plantsmakepeoplehappy #houseplants #houseplantsofinstagram #houseplantcommunity #houseplantclub #indoorjungle #urbanjungle #urbanjunglebloggers #plantsplantsplants #plantlover #plantaddict #livingwithplants #garden #gardening #indoorgarden #tropicalplants #foliage #botanical #plantcommunity #succulentsofinstagram #succulentlove #kalanchoe #kalanchoebeharensis https://www.instagram.com/p/ChQEEfCvGfi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
