This is the second year in a row that my geraniums are flowering for the holiday! I love having some garden color indoors during winter. Plus it saves me $$ in the spring not to have to buy new geraniums every year.

Marble Queen pothos. It’s ready for a bigger pot but I’m trying to hold off until a few others need it as well. It’s messy to do indoors and I’d rather do a bunch at the same time and have one big clean up than several.

My fiddle leaf fig is happy to have her spot back now that the Christmas tree is put away. You can’t see them in this pic but she’s got some twinkle lights wrapped around the trunk. Shes about 6” away from the ceiling again. I’ve topped this tree down to 4’ several times in an effort to get some branching going but she seems to prefer the single life. I totally get that!!

The hibiscus tree is only a house plant in winter. One of the three braided trunks is dead but the others keep blooming.

I read that braiding the trunks ends up eventually strangling out one or two of them.

It's possible. I think MLW did this when I started in ME and the tree was still in MD with her. She can kill plastic plants.

This is my beautiful philodendron brasil. It started as a tiny cutting in a 2” pot.

A couple of new plant babies that I recently added to my collection.

Aglaonema “new pink”

Ludisia discolor jewel orchid

Burgundy tradescantia

I’ve been geeking out over pink plants lately!
