Show me your House Plants

House plants are cool.

I have a few myself but I have nowhere to share them so I figured other's might be in the same boat.

Let's fix that and share them here!

For my first submission, we have ourselves an African Violet!

African Violet

I have heard it reported they are finicky but my wife (who cares for most of the indoor plants) reports that she does not do anything special.

They are not at their most vibrant but it seems to bloom in cycles for us.

Following the violet, let me present to you the pickle plant.

Pickle Plant

It is tenacious and takes to heavy prunings well. It has a habit of dropping individual green segments when manipulated around.

Any fans of Peace Lillies?

How about Variegated Pothos?

This is a fun type of Monstera

You have some beautiful house plants here! I've never seen a pickle plant before and the swiss cheese monstera leaves are so interesting. Aren't they uplifting to look at in the bleak midwinter days!

My place looks like a plant nursery with overwintered flowers, veggies and indoor plants everywhere and I mostly group them by light requirement.

Sorry, no pictures today. I have quite a good collection of Spider plants which are great because it takes a *lot* of 'ignore' to kill them.

However, my sunny front window plants are totally permie... a Holy Basil for my DiL, a pot with baby walking onions which I use the greens from, a Ginger plant that my DiL abused... I'm hoping it's just dormant for the winter, but I'll keep you posted, and lastly, my baby Dragon Fruit plants that are germinating on top of the water heater, are getting transplanted into small pots as they poke their noses up. I have 5 so far that look like they're going to grow, but they're awfully small and our house is really too cold.

It won't be long before I'll need to be starting tomatoes and peppers...

All inside the living room  for the winter.  I live alone —OBVIOUSLY.  One bedroom is full too.  Grow lights all winter. Only real problem is mealy bugs.  

There's another thread about houseplants (more on the subject of plants that are easy to keep alive). So I do have some photos I can share here too ...

a 'plant corner'

some (easy) plants on the window sil and my avocado tree grown from seed.

One more group picture of my house plants currently in bloom. I leave them outside in summer time and let the light and temperature cycles naturally induce flower bud formation. When they are brought in before the first frost, one by one they start the show like a clock: first the Thanksgiving cactus, next the Christmas cactus, then various kalanchoes. Next ones in line will be orchid and gardenia.
