I

Just saw this and I thought it's such a cute plant (the flowers are like tiny skirts). My phone says it's Summer snowflake or Snowbell. I'm not really one to take care of flowers because I'm bad at it but I think I want this one in my house. 😭

I consider myself a frugal, and financially responsible person. I do a good job refraining from buying things I don’t need, and I am not a materialistic person. However, I started becoming interested in house plants about a year ago and now I own about 30 different house plants and some carnivorous plants as well.

I’m not spending more than my monthly budget I’ve set for myself, or being financially irresponsible, but gosh darn it, I love buying house plants that catch my eye and look cool.

I just picked these two beauties up today and thought I’d share my finds with everyone as I love this community and I love seeing everyone else’s plant collections, I also feel like I learn so many cool things in this subreddit.

Anyways, I’m grateful I found this subreddit and my new found love for plants.

Cheers!

Propagating, collecting and growing house plants is good for the soul. A positive distraction, maybe? Helps you heal from trauma.

I lost my dad to cancer two weeks ago, and I’ve picked up a few more house plants to add to my collection. The nurturing, greenery and beauty helps, mentally.

I’m so tempted to grab a cutting but I have no idea what I am looking at, help :)

Have a beautiful day everyone 🫶

Aglaonema "Red Valentine". Teeny splurge for two plants in 9mm pots at $12.50aud each. Worth it? Worth it. Ugh. So beautiful!

At Home Depot we can’t discount plants because we don’t own them it’s a 3rd party company that does and they tell us to toss them in the trash compactor a smash them it makes me sad

I would greatly appreciate tips on the philo! I want to make sure she keeps her beautiful color! Thank you! =)

That is all.

It barely fit in my car. I’m excited to add it to my collection.

Been growing these two side my side for a while now!

Red prayer plant, right? She’s from Costa Farms of all places. Never had one of their’s grow this big before! She seems happy and I hope that means I am doing something right.

I have finally found a real Easter cactus (Rhipsalidopsis gaertneri) to add to the collection of holiday cacti.

And how is maintenance. I went to Lowe’s looking for a Fiddle Leaf but couldn’t find the $15 ones that I saw online and ended up with this guy. He was cheap and looked ok.

1. Birkin
2. Lickety split
3. Variegated heart-leaf
4. Heart-leaf
5. Brandi
6. Silver stripe (just got as a rescue)
7. Micans (def sunburnt, just moved to a lower light area)
8. Spiritus sancti
9. Brasil
10. PPP that I’m trying to get more pink!

I found the mother load of houseplant greenhouses! Big, small, stout and tall! Located in Northwestern PA! It was an unexpected trip and I was slightly overwhelmed. Last pic is what I managed to narrow down to bring home (for now) 🌿

My boyfriend got me this cute plant from the grocery store and I was wondering if I should repot it? I’ve waited for the soil to dry out a bit because it was a bit wet. It looks like it has peat moss as the current soil and I’m wondering if I should repot to a different mix for better results?

Just curious on what got you to start collecting plants?

How many do you have?

What is your favorite plant you own?

How many is too many?

I’ll go first. I started collecting plants in March of ‘24, so I’m pretty new still. Two plants has quickly turned into 29. I always wanted plants, but was too intimidated. I notoriously killed plants in my 20’s (like all the hostas in the back of the house once a long time ago 🫣. Not my finest moment). I’d say my favorite plant is a tie between my Neon Queen Pothos and my Philo Basil. Thanks for listening, I’m excited to see your answers.
