I. Love. My. Greenhouse.

Now, that’s almost 95% of the plants are in here, I am realizing there’s still more room. What plant should I get next?

So far, so good. I’ve unalived one of these before—back when they were $30+ for a tiny 3” pot 😅. But when I spotted this 5” beauty for just $5 at my local grocery store, I thought, ‘Why not?!’

Repotting didn’t go as planned (shocking, right?), and I ended up with a glorious mess. Instead of cramming everything back into one pot, I decided to divide it up, and guess what? They’re thriving already, with new growth popping up! 🌱✨

My alocasias regal shield that started as a corm about 2 year ago! So, what’s my advice for growing alocasias? It’s simple…IGNORE them! 🤣

Pretty in Pink…how am I just getting into Hoyas now?!??!

Are you a Hoya fan?

I’ve missed the last two but again, I will give myself grace. I am posting this for last Thursday.

I am thankful for my Mom coming to visit. We drove up to Waco, spent the night, and I got to introduce her to the Magnolia Silos. It’s been a wonderful visit and she has been able to hang out and see how our life in Texas is. Thankful she’s able to travel and come visit! ❤️

created as a way to spread some positivity on our feeds. There are 7 more Thursdays if you would like to participate. Just post each Thursday for something you are thankful for! ❤️

Hoya Khao Yai. Okay, so my Thai must be a little rusty (yes, I can speak a little Thai) because when I was on LIVE and she had this Hoya, at first, I thought it meant big island, but then when I received it, I remembered khao yai actually and large (yai) mountain (khao).

Plants always “speak” to me and that’s the deciding factor if I buy one. This one immediately spoke to me given it’s Thai name and now I am the proud owner of this gorgeous potsii khao yai.

Spent the better part of the morning tidying up the back yard space. Always feels good to reset and clean up. Now, as the weather is slowly cooling, we can enjoy the backyard without tripping over some plants. 🤣

Is it mum season where you are? They’re not for me, but pretty while they’re alive. 🤣

I had a job to rrefresh and repot today and even though I washed my hands, I clearly forgot soil like to hide under my watch and in my nails.

Million dollar question…

Are you a gloves on or gloves off plant parent?

📣Happy holidays everyone! Wishing you all a very safe, happy and healthy holiday season! I will be taking a break until the new year, but grateful for all of you in this amazing community! See you in 2025!

Happy Holidays everyone!

When the sun is shining…plants must be photographed.

When it’s cold outside, but you have a new plant that needs attention. 🥶

Do you have yellow leaves? Could be too much or not enough water. I know! How are you supposed to figure it out 🤪 This marble queen wasn’t doing too well and at first I thought overwatering but since the pot felt unusually light, I decided to check the roots! Turns out this was one plant that missed its appointment for a repot and was drying out way too fast! Repotting in winter, gotta love it! 🤣

When plants no longer spark joy, it’s time to find them someone who will love them. Does this ever happen to you?

Hit that FOLLOW button ⬆️ Seriously, what is going on here? It’s been a little windy, but don’t think this was the wind. Maybe an animal? We do have raccoons, armadillos and opossums but still. Maybe the variegated burle marx tried to make an unsuccessful getaway? Who knows!

Before owning Hoyas, I wasn’t really even aware that plants could have runners. I knew plants could get leggy (where the leaves start to fall off and you’re left with a blabk vine) but runners? I asked google what a runner was and this was the answer…A hoya runner is a long vine, also known as a tendril, that a hoya plant shoots off. Over time, the tendrils will fill out with leaves and sometimes peduncles, which are stalks that support the bloom. Eventually, one of the tendrils will bloom. The more you know! Are you a Hoya fan?

Thanks giving cacti spotted @heb Are you a fan? I’ve never owned one but maybe this is the year? 🤔

Come on a little tour as I went live after tidying up…if you ever have questions, let me know! ALWAYS happy to help!

My water supply in the greenhouse consists of a 5 gallon water jug and my garden sprayer. I use the 5 gallon jug to refill my garden sprayer and it makes watering my plant babies so much easier! All products linked on my Amazon storefront. 😀
