No buy Winter? How to survive the winter as a plant addict

Let me start by saying that this is not a post about plant winter care and how to over winter your plants. I am more talking about not buying any more plants over the winter period, as they can get really bad shock in the winter, even with a heat pack enclosed. It is justContinue reading “No buy Winter?

Plant Care – 4 Assumptions I had when I started indoor gardening

In this post I’d like to share my personal assumptions, that I had about plants and caring for them. While I am someone that likes to learn and really understand something, I did not know there was much to understand about plants and their care when it came to indoor plants.

Quick Facts Journal I am pretty sure that the day I opened myContinue reading “Plant Journal – Variegated Monstera Borsigiana”

Plant Journal – Syngonium Neon Robusta

Summary My Syngonium Neon Robusta was a present from Elena.

Grow Lights – What I’ve learned and use

Earlier this year, I purchased a variegated monstera. It is my pride and joy and I love it. Looking after it is therapy and I cheer on every new leaf. It was living under a light in my living room for a while, and then in a brighter spot in the kitchen. But now thatContinue reading “Grow Lights – What I’ve learned and use”
