  • I like to use indoor house plants to create different looks and add style to my home. I share different ways that plants can be used to get different looks whether you are new to plants or a seasoned plant enthusiast.

    One of the joys of having plants is sharing cuttings. My mom could tell me where she got each of her plants and they passed down through generations. Everyone, be careful to protect wooden tables, floors or shelves from damp bottoms of potted plants!

    I think plants make a home beautiful. I have a monstera, that I thought I had killed. I put the pot outside and months later I noticed it had leaves. It is inside again and looks beautiful. I also have several ivy plants. Your plants look very healthy.

      I’m glad your monstera came back, they are so resilient! Enjoy your plants 🪴 Good to hear from you today Roberta, hope you have a great rest of your Sunday 😊

    Beautiful plants! I focus most effort on my garden outside, and my few houseplants must be hardy. I water them in rotation, taking each to the sink every 2-3 weeks for thorough watering. They drain off all excess before going back in place. Water damage to wood is a real risk, and overwatering is the number one killer of houseplants! I've had two giants for more than 20 years. They've produced many offspring and provide a breath of life around the house. Yours look very healthy. Your home is a lovely haven of peace reflecting your care and attention.

      So so cool that you’ve had some of your plants live with you for more than 20 years! Great reminder to protect our surfaces and have proper drainage, we don’t want wet surfaces or root rot! I can’t wait to plant some flowers around our fountain outside soon. I’m sure you have a wonderful garden 🤩 hope you are off to a great week Courtney!

    Your plants are so healthy and beautiful! We don't have any indoor plants. I love the tri-color ginger we're growing on the deck. About 90% of my wardrobe is Eileen Fisher. I can order online, and the fit is excellent for me. Thank you for allowing us to see how you care for your plants. Take care, Linda 🦋

    Melba your channel has been such a lovely and relaxing find! It is so pleasant to watch if I am stressing out about things I shouldn’t be. Thank you! And be careful about the pothos, draceana, or such plants that you are probably aware of already. Just an inveterate motherly nagging.🤭
