I usually have so many plants! But, I am in the process of moving and didn’t want to commit to something I’d have to leave behind. So, here are a few of my permanent friends. 
This is Johnson and Peter. It’s unfair that they’re both growers.
This is Wanda. She’s been with us for 2 years and is already a proud mama!
These are a couple sweet potatoes I found sprouting in my mom’s kitchen, and I thought: waste not, want not. And I threw some petunias in to help attract aid against potato eating bugs.
This is Pearl. She recently got a haircut because her strings were 16+ inches. So now I have a bunch of baby Pearls.
And this is Joy. I got her last year for an anniversary gift for my wife.
Plants make me exceedingly happy and I love, and find great comfort, in seeing all of the beautiful ones on here!
I like to buy the ones on clearance, those half-dead, crusty ones. I bring them home and watch them flourish. I like to think that’s what God’s done for me.

Flowerbomb?
It stood before my window at first but became so big so I could not close the curtains anymore.

Transplanting my okra into bigger pots. I am a beginner and I’m learning by trial and error mostly I know it’s probably stupid to plant single seeds in pots But I almost feel like I can control everything better and see exactly what’s going to happen. I’m about to start working on a raised garden bed and then eventually I will buy some Dixie cups to use for seeds because I thought of that recently and then keep them inside or right on the patio for two or three weeks without light And then plant them into the raised bed.
This Is my little station and where I’ve been starting everything..
The ones that are barely sprouting is peppers. I heard the okra produce pretty cool flowers but I guess we’ll see. I still need to purchase neem oil And some other things. This is such a fun hobby and it just really makes sense to me. Of course I’ve been reading and trying to learn but usually that’s not the way I learn how to do things
I need to purchase some more larger plastic pots. I’m probably going to see how they do in the pots but then also put some into the ground as well the okra that is six or 7 inches and well sprouted.. I have a few that are still in the seedling pots
I still have a decent amount of okra and pepper seeds but I’m going to look for other seeds for July and August and lots of humidity and sun

I got a new plant. Arabica Coffee plant
The directions for a new “foliage plant” said to wait 1-2 years before I transplant it to a nice pot
I can’t wait 1-2 years. I want to put it in a bigger pot now! Any suggestions out there. @Its_me_Stella The little pot it’s in is kind of dingy plastic thingy.
I was thinking of planting it in this or something this size. Maybe red though.

Some plants like small spaces, you could just leave it in the small pot and place it inside and ornamental one like you have. If you want to fill around it just use some rocks.
Its a pretty one, I have never tried to mother a coffee plant before. I will live vicariously through you.

I got two Bird of Paradise a few years ago, and while one is about 3’ tall, this one is approaching 6’. Same size pots and watering/feeding regimes, but different positions in the flat.

This Alocasia Stingray Zebrina has grown from a bulb/corm that I had entirely given up on and just popped into a pot of earth ‘just in case’. That’s why there is also a jade plant cutting in there too. The first two leaves are a bit deformed but other than that it’s full of life.

Myrtillocactus geometrizans cristata, a crested “Blue Myrtle” cactus.
One of my favorites too. Blue in summer, and turns light purple in winter. All different shades in between. They are beautiful plants. Way more blue than you can tell in the pic…poor lighting.
I’ve had mine almost 2 years now. Its the “crested” part that gives it the unique shape. Cristata is a genetic mutation that causes it to grow like that. It can occur in any cactus, as far as I know.
I’ve been dabating keeping it in this bowl, keeping it small - or moving it to a big pot and letting it get huge. I planted it with the former being the intent, but feel the pull to grow a monster. I’ve seen ones as tall as me and wider than me.
The write up w/photos on LLIFLE is interesting.
