If you have a garden and a library you have everything you need. -- Cicero

To care for a Monstera plant, place it in bright, indirect light, avoiding direct sunlight. Water when the top inch of soil is dry, allowing for slight drying between waterings. Maintain higher humidity levels, either by misting the leaves or using a humidifier. Keep the temperature between 65-80°F (18-27°C), avoiding drafts. Use well-draining soil in a pot with drainage holes. Prune dead or leggy growth, and provide support for climbing if desired. Fertilize with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season and repot every 1-2 years. Watch for pests and propagate through stem cuttings when needed.

We're all rooted for different seasons. We wont bloom at the same time. 💚

PLANT A SEED.

The path of development is a journey of discovery that is clear only in retrospect, and it’s rarely a straight line.

An exceptional welcome into my new year.

Thank you Bape. 💚

I don't know what I was anticipating more between my birthday and This Chanel No19 bottle.

Both speak of age.

Both 9th September and 19 August are birthdays.

One however states the I'm turning 30 and the other that I'm turning into a woman of pure elegance.

Rooting took forever. Now do we try the impossible growing from leaf? 🍃

Zebra Aloe Love

Zebra Aloe or Haworth Fasciata per textbook name is an easy to care for succulent.

In South African townships Zebra Aloe are placed by entryways (doors + gates) as they are known for being energy protectors who ward off bad vibes. It's also believed that having them in your yard prevents a lightening strike from hitting the environment.

Caring for Zebra Aloe.

How often do you water it?

°Don't over water it, they rot quickly in waterlogged soil.

°The soil should be completely dry, every 2 weeks in the summer time and less in colder seasons.

°Ensure you have well draining soil

°They survive on lesser light than their succulent family.

°Fertilize once a month

°Wrinkled or dry leaves are a sign of dryness  but don't worry too much if the lower leaves turn brown

°Repot every 3/4 years.

Give it love and it'll love you back. 💚

A little goes a long way.

A little goes a long way

Di passenger nthuseng (HELP)

I've over watered our elephant ears then in efforts to dry it up, I gave it too much sunshine.

In all. OVERKILL.

Even though we've lost a leaf. I'd say we've gained a lesson. A little most certainly goes a long way.

Root bound plants

Root bound.

When planted on the ground a plant naturally spreads out its root but once in a pot planters the plant becomes root bound. Always check up on your plants' roots to see if a bigger pot is needed.

Caution, some root bound babies do not transplant well, a switching from one plant to another might affect the plant negatively or possibly kill the plants.

Top 5 tricky transplants (root bound)

Peace Lily.

Peace Lily's benefit from overcrowding,  it produces more foliage but once it is heavily rooted you may need to switch your planter up. Split some roots to share or have more green babies for yourself.

Spider Plant

Spider babies and more spider babies may cause your plant to root for nutrition distribution so do opt for a bigger planter once your roots are under stress.

Aloe Vera

Once root bound, an aloe Vera plant shoots more pups but space is always a consideration for your plant.

Boston Fern

Caution with a Boston Fern transplant, some die after being repotted to a bigger pot plant.

Jade Plant

Keeping a Jade Plant in a smaller planter keeps them manageable however always check to see if it's roots aren't suffering.
