🪴 a few of my plants 🪴

🪴I wanted to show off just some of my babies 🪴

~ Fun fact - I just won my paraiso verde from a plant swap & sell meet up for a $1 raffle ticket 🙃

~ Debating if I should share the rest of my hoard (I mean collection 🫣) on here or not. I’m now two Ikea greenhouse cabinets in + a now 3-4ft monstera (Herman, my OG baby) that got me into this addiction 3 years ago that I bought at Trader Joe’s in a 6 in pot. He’s now in like a 12 inch pot. I digress.

~ Do you have any favorites on your own shelves? 🌱

Many people enjoy these interactions, fostering friendships while enhancing their plant collections. Whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned plant parent, connecting with others passionate about gardening can enhance your experience and knowledge.
