People in Recovery and Plants! (Part 1)

This kiddo got too big for their britches and needed some support. This little trellis looks so cute!


My weird begonia is taking off after I finally left it alone (or just forgot about it for a while!). So much new growth! Top left is an old pic and the other two are today. It was one of those nursery hospital rescues on clearance when I got it, quite the slow grower.

Today’s been all about plants, outdoor and indoor. I repotted some babies, including this pothos. It has been having issues with crinkled new growth and some yellowing leaves and when I took it out of its pot it was soooo overly root bound, poor baby. I like it’s new pot and hopefully it will, too.

Downsized this monster beauty. Before and after.

I separated a couple big chunks out and put them up for sale on my FB plant group, already have a buyer for one! I’m giving away the cuttings and have takers for them, too.

I’m happy this mama plant is less choked and more manageable.

I love plants. I have been sober almost 3 years from Heroin and I have definitely found a sense of peace thru gardening and house plants. Last summer me and my father really went all out for the first time and grew tomatoes a bunch of different peppers cucumbers onions pumpkins gourds and some other things. Definitely something I suggest if you have he space for it. I started out not knowing a thing about it but you learn as you keep going.
God bless you guys :pray:t3: :heart::sunglasses:

Well I have 2 in my apt and I’ll believe they are called pothos or something like that. There long a viney tho and I’ve had them sense I moved in a couple months ago and they definitely have gotten longer!

I did some moving around/ repotting. My monkey face monstera had been hanging as they can trail but she REALLY wanted to climb. I moved my little spider duo into her spot and then built a trellis for the monstera and repotted the trailing jade. “Who” by the way I am in love with. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Here we go again.

Thought it only happened once per season. Just a reminder that there’s always more to learn after years in the hobby.
