House Plants

I have a confused Christmas cactus, but its colors are exquisite. Maybe this one knows I’m working on holiday designs.

My Christmas Cactus surprised me with another flower!!!! 😢💖🙏🌸 This was the Schlumbergera bridgesii I bought and immediately had to transplant because I didn't have a pot big enough, and all the blooms fell off right away before they all opened. I'm so glad this one likes this spot on my windowsill, and I'm ESPECIALLY glad that it enjoys being in a pot with no holes on the bottom. I feel very validated. (I HATE when pots have to have a plastic liner pot inside them.) 🚫 I've had success multiple times with keeping hole-less pots, but online people always freak out when they see it happen unsuccessfully. I know my room's temperature and air humidity well enough to know how to water these. (I actually water this Christmas Cactus like every other day! This window gets very hot, and paired with my space heater usage, it NEEDS a few drops to keep a consistent atmosphere.) 💦 Anyway, I'm very happy to see this neon pink flower open up. The rest of my Christmas Cactus pieces all got planted into hanging planters above my vanity recently (I got sick of having too many small pots of them taking up so much space), so hopefully hy the time they grow a bit more, they'll all drape some flowers down the sides for me. 🌸🌸🌸🌸 #christmascactus #schlumbergera #schlumbergerabridgesii #flower #bloom #pink #latebloom #secondbloom #epiphyte #indoorgardening #indoorplants #indoorgarden #houseplant (Also, please ignore the corner of failed moss rehydration in the last pic... I'm actually gonna add a different moss and let that grow on this stuff instead of try to rehydrate the dried stuff.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZryip1p7FH/?utm_medium=tumblr

My plants are preparing to properly bloom just in time for by birthday next week! Lucky me! 🤗🥳🌺

Cleaned up my plants and windowsills! 🏝🏝🏝🏝 The bigge boi is my dream plant, a Dragon's Blood Tree ("Dracaena draco"), and he weighs like 60+ pounds, MINIMUM, I s2g. I'm amazed I was able to deadlift him up the whole stairway (in a very smooth pot with no grips) when I could barely move him 5 feet into the house after potting him last month. (And the grow light is there because I don't think it's quite enough sunlight, but he's been doing well inside with NO direct light for the past month, so...) 🐉 I also have 2 new Poinsettias ("Euphorbia pulcherrima") bc I'm all about that #tropicallyfe !! One's a pinky salmon colour, and the other is red and white variegated "Mexican Flameleaf". My mom also has a classic red one we're gonna try to plant in the yard after it stops blooming. 🌹 My "Cordyline indivisa" got his pot painted gold finally to match all my shit. He's looking REALLY great and has grown A LOT. I feel bad that his brother I kept outside died last spring, but that's why I kept them separate! 🏝 I also got a Christmas Cactus ("Schlumbergera bridgesii") and unfortunately did not have a pot big enough for all 4 of them to stay together, so I had to separate them out, and now their flowers and buds are dropping off. 🙃😥 But better that than staying in the gross nursery pot. (I know, they like to be pot-bound, but I can't keep a black nursery pot inside, it's not #aesthetic .) 🎄 My other plants are still kickin' - Persian Shield plants ("Strobilanthus") and Dark Star Coleus ("Coleus"). I tried propagating both from a clipping, but I think it's too cold for them downstairs... so. The jury's still out on those. (Also pictured: Arrowhead Plant/"Syngonium podophyllum" and Rubber Plant/"Ficus elastica"). 💖 I still have a bunch more plant-organizing to do on my vanity counter, so stay tuned for that. (But only if I stop procrastinating it.) 🌈 #plants #indoorgardening #indoorplants #plantlyfe #organization #dracaenadraco #dracaena #dragonsbloodtree #dragontree #euphorbiapulcherrima #euphorbia #euphorbiaceae #poinsettia #tropicalplants #cordyline #cordylineindivisa #dracaenaspikes #schlumbergera #schlumbergerabridgesii #christmascactus #persianshield #coleus https://www.instagram.com/coridallasmultipass/p/CXKi70jFr3n/?utm_medium=tumblr
