Houseplants

From a very young age, I have loved houseplants. I would love to hear about what types of plants you have, and any stories you might have about how you acquired your plant or plants. Would also love to see pictures of your houseplants.

I heard that aspirin in a pint of water will wake up your slow growing house plants. I have tried this and it does work. Aspirin activates the root system. Try it!Continue

The umbrella is in a different pot it just wasn't much bigger than the one it was in. The leaves get brown sploches on them. The Rex I porobably over watered since it said it liked to sit on rocks w/water for the moist air. It was in the plastic pot inside the AV pot letting water come in way too much. Duh I know better. I took my rabbit foot ferns out of those crazy pots for the same reason. I would put water in them and let them take it up like it says too water from the bottom. I lined them up in a square tray kinda thing I got resently. I found my plant sale signs that are taped to big boxes in the garage. I dragged them in and one had a bunch of other containers in it. As I was taking them out I found all kinda yuch in there, looks like a big nest of hair and bug casings. Eeeeeeew I set it back out in the driveway. I so need to bring my Christmas stuff and tent back inside so they don't get ruined.

Lila, I am glad to see you back on GS.  I was getting concerned because you hadn't posted for a while.  The heat and humidity sounds horrid!  I saw a plant like yours (orange one) at Walmart last week but I didn't look for the name. I look and see if they still have them so I can see what it is. 

Love your pics Joseph and Cindy I hope you have a very sucessful yard sale.  Vicky I really like your rocker.

Time for bed.  Good night all.

Aaauuuw Cindy what a beautifull bunny! He really looks like Peter cottontail Lol!:) I want to hug him,thanks for the pic.

Comment by Lila Sanchez --N.MBeach zn10 FL 5 hours ago

Hey friends!--Thanks for the link Grant, it kinda looks like it but I don't think so as the seeds I planted where either Poppy or you said it Cosmos fr what I remember, I keep confusing the two.Are Cosmos "fuzzy" like that?...anyway, a friend gave me this plant fr a party he was working at and I think it's a type of cactus/succulent check it-out....Isn't it cute? Anyone know what it is?...I put it at the window but I don't think it's happy as the tips of the leaves are browning and then the leaf yellowing,I think it might be too chilly for her, maybe I should put it oustside but first I have to know what it is.Any help would be appreciated:)

Lila here ya go:) This morning I saw two bunnies hopping around without a care in the world....LOL Pictures didn't turn out, due to me being in a hurry, as I was leaving for work, when I spotted them.

Vicky did you repot the umbrella plant? How about your rex begonia? I nearly killed my rex, or I should say I killed most of my rex....lol The little piece that survived has new growth on it. I pamper it like a baby.

The umbrella is still dropping leaves and my Rex has been croaking since I brought it home.

I took a bunch of the glass pop bottles and put house plant starts in them to sell tomorrow.
