They can be…finicky. Just to warn you. Lol Well I opened the shop and would love to show you all pics but this app is being grouchy and not letting me post anything. 🙄 Any tips for this? It’s happened a lot. ---

That’s what I thought but I made sure it was under 6mb which has seemed to work in the past. You can go to my IG if you want @plantedmonterey there’s videos and stuff there! ---

I am so pleased to see my babies doing well and growing! This Manjula Pothos (I think) got a pretty new hanger ![image](https://talkingsoberfiles.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/4X/3/4/2/342a5322d2b89578908a5af0a34a2f6181a3379b.jpeg) The Pink Syngonium finally has a pretty pink leaf ![image](https://talkingsoberfiles.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/4X/3/0/3/30343a8d6d8370e1801c100ca629197ffee3bd79.jpeg) And the Tradescantia is taking off after I pinched some parts off and put them back in the pot (thanks @PlantLady19 Jessica!) ![image](https://talkingsoberfiles.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/4X/8/6/3/8638c5ef6ac412b9025aa23699499058462c169a.jpeg) I honestly didn’t know what to expect for them in my house this first winter. 💚 ---
