Plant of the Day

Tuesday 6 June 2023

It was exciting to find that not only was my Calathea ‘Network’ (Goeppertia kegeljanii) producing new foliage but also flowering. This plant originated in the tropical rainforests of South America in Brazil.

Just a temporary spot for now, but she looks so good! 😄💚

I'm in love already 🥹

My leaf stamps are finished! I loved designing and carving these. They're so versatile too, I hope to print them onto bags in the near future 🤞

Still waiting for last week's prints to fully dry before I add them to my shop 😌

Stunning giant white bird of paradise I spotted yesterday on the North Shore - I did not know these are related to banana plants!

The Ficus

Currently, I have a variegated Weeping Fig, fiddle leaf fig, variegated rubber tree and what I suspect is a Ficus Aubrey though it was given to me and labeled Ficus Altisima. I can't be sure on the last ones ID until it fills in a bit more and the previous owner had chopped it back quite a bit so it only has a few leaves. Hence why I haven't bothered really taking any pictures. If you look closely in my more recent pictures, you'll probably see it. It has a ton of new growth so I'll share more about it down the road I'm sure.

All my Ficus seem to be pretty happy right now though.. For some reason ficus typically hate me lol. We'll see if now that I have some artificial lights, they do a little better. So far so good. I think I would like to buy a larger Aubrey to sit on the floor beside one of my shelves but no other specific Ficus goals right now.

My main wish list plants right now (at least the more expensive ones) are Philo Florida ghost and Thai Monstera. Now that I have my Albo, I'd love to get a Monstera with more stable variegation.

On a side note. I went to my local SharKare today to see if they had any of the things I needed to make my own potting mix and the store employees ended up asking what I needed and why. When I explained my collection/showed them some pictures and got into discussing plant care, one of the employees said I was "very knowledgeable" and asked if I wanted a job "like, right now." 🤣 I was like nahhhh, my plant knowledge only really goes as far as tropicals... Not sustainable plants. It was pretty cool though.

This one will be for sale next week!

Existing visit to Terra Nostra. Bath and tropical garden. Located São Miguel the Azores🌴 Area Furnas. We spent some time searching for a place to park. The streets in the little town are narrow and all places where taken. It's was at least 10 min walk for us to the park. We walked the long way around the park before finding the entrance 🤣 This was our main destination for today 21 of September. #Furnas #saomiguel #saomiguelisland #parkterranostra #park #azores #ozoren #tropicalgarden #tropical #tropicalvibes #tropicalplants #garden #zwimming #thermalbaths #thermal #ironwater #warmwater #geothermal #vacation #vacatiovibes #travel #travelblogger #travelphotography #wanderlust (bij Parque Terra Nostra) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckt-gryjEUT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
