BIRD SANCTUARY

I have ten plants I’m currently caring for, and my roommates have another five. Some of them came to me through my job, some were gifts, and some of them a picked up on sale. I propagated the ivies from cuttings I took off of a pathos that was growing outside my childhood home. I’ve been developing my green thumb for around 3 years now. Eventually I’d like to move into growing food outside too.

Your plants are lovely. I would also love to graduate to growing food. Was thinking of getting a large bucket and just growing indoor potatoes. Lord knows I don't trust the city soil outside.

From left to right we have a snake plant that's doing great, a spider plant that started out the size of a single finger, a dwarf "Black Opal" blackberry that's constantly struggling because I gave it root rot by putting it in a huge pot as soon as I got it. 3 pothos in an Ikea vase, an onion in the big jar (just fun to grow onions and potatoes). Behind them is a bit of driftwood with three air plants attached (nr 4 hanging at top of frame). Then the "snow queen" Pothos hangs over the money plant, the 'sweetheart hoya' in the cloche blocks the view of the "Crassula Hottentot", sitting next to the Dracanea and the family pineapple (inherited) and a further attempt to propogate a different pineapple and the same money plant.

I love my plants because they keep me grounded. Even though they mean I won't get my deposit back for the damage they caused to the windowsill when I watered them without a tray underneath.
