My Philodendron Imperial Red keeps growing! These are the things that make me smile & cheer me up. Yes, I'm struggling with some of my babies and I'm focusing my energy on them, but damn... we have to appreciate and value the good things happening around us every single day! 💚 💪🏽

Philodendron Care:

🔆 Medium indirect light

💦 Let them dry well between watering sessions. Remember to follow the finger test.

🥵 Regular Humidity

🫘 I haven't fertilizer this one in the year I've grown her. I'll update my care tips when I do.

Winterizing houseplants P3! Sunlight changes 🌞🌤️🌥️🌦️

***𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀!***

In winter the intensity of the sunlight usually decreases. Plants automatically start adapting to those changes, resulting in less nutrients intake and stop growth. They take a break! This can also provoke a couple of leaves yellowing and dropping.

A common mistake is to freak out and add a lot of fertilizer and water it more, stressing the plant and probably causing other issues.

Sit back, use the finger test to determine when a plant needs water, do not fertilize it, just let them rest.

Winterizing Houseplants P2! Frost Days 🥶❄️

*𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗺𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗻d reblog 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀!*

*𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻> Frost days happen when temperatures drop below 36°F (2°C). Those days we have to be aware of any sentitive plant in a window sill or very close to a window (like my alocasias in my post 2 days ago ory plants on this window sill on the video)

If you live in a place that has frost days continuously for several days/weeks, you might want to move those plants farther away from the windows, just during those times. 🥶

You can check on the weather app if there is any forecasted frost day I'm the near future. 🤳

I'll share the next key factor tomorrow! 💪🏽🤓

Caladium Marie Moir Polka Dot 💗

I'm not very familiar with the different types of caladiums that exist, but somehow I know it is a caladium right when I see it.

I also lost the label, so this was the most accurate I got. If you know the exact name, please comment here and I'll update it and give you credit for it!

Caladiums are like magical, almost unreal. The texture is paper-like and the colors are like watercolor.

Sansevieria Masoniana (Whale Fin Snake Plant)

What would you name her? 🤔

I found her about 1.5y ago in a local nursery. I screamed & got her immediately! The leaf on the left was super small and has grown taller than the older one.

Some on Instagram asked for the measurements and I was so excited to take them! The younger one is H37 inches x 6W and to the older one is H32 inches x 5W.

Make sure to use a moisture meter or deep finger test to check the soil water levels. It's easy (at least for me) to go on extremes with sansevierias.

🥶❄️ Winterizing Houseplants, is that a thing? 🤔👇🏽

This is definitely a thing for outdoor gardens, mostly in areas with harsh cold winters. However, how does it affect houseplants (indoor potted plants)? Follow my upcoming few posts where I'll share my personal findings.

What do you think about their scarves? Are they cute?

Reblog for your friends & family to benefit from this! 🧣🪴

Meet my love for plants! 💚

I almost got tears on my eyes with this video. Plants really help you feel better. Help you grief and smile on a sad day. Plants make me dance when I see a new leaf or a flower. I get worried when a I found bugs or drop leaves. They make feel!

They take me from this 👇🏽

To this! 👇🏽

Alocasia Regal Shields 3rd Bloom This Year!

I add 3 tbsp of coffee grounds and smart release fertilizer once a year and/or when repotting them. This year is also the first one for this Regal Shields to bloom, which is impressive.

I've grown this baby for about 3 years, she was in a 6" pot when I got her.

Euphorbia Trigona

(African Milk Tree)

Baby Yoda wishes you a happy Tuesday! He also wants to remind you that euphorbias are not cacti.

Euphorbias also have a white sap that irritates your skin, toxic to our pets. They are so gorgeous and each type of euphorbia is unique on their shape and texture.

Care:

✓ Let the soil dry well between watering sessions. (Overwatering would be a bit hard to identify until it is too late and they fall apart completely, the whole plant 💥)

✓ Indirect bright light has worked for me. They do like part shade if outdoor. They can easily get scar with too much direct sun, fog or moisture no in the air.

✓ Leaves drop happens, don't freak out! It could be due to seasonal change, stress or resources management, as if you haven't fertilize or kept it too dry for too long.

𝚃𝚛𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚜𝚌𝚊𝚗𝚝𝚒𝚊 𝙵𝚕𝚞𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚎𝚜𝚒𝚜 (𝙻𝚊𝚟𝚎𝚗𝚍𝚎𝚛 𝙸𝚗𝚌𝚑 𝚙𝚕𝚊𝚗𝚝)

Love the pinkish color mixed with green stripes. She has grown so much since I got her.

Before I struggled with this plant when planted in soil. When in water, I've successfully grown them. This baby helped me understand them.

Medium indirect light and let them dry very well before watering again.
