Expanding our house plant collection

rollinggarden Avatar

A few days back I decided to buy some new house plants and expand our house collection. I haven’t had many plants in the house. Just a couple of plants that I took from my mum and a few my hubby bought me. I was planning to buy some more this spring but due to the quarantine, I didn’t get the chance. Now, actually thanks to COVID, more and more nurseries have online shops and I found one that had an excellent selection of plants and I finally bought some plants.

I’ve ordered the plants on Tuesday and they came two days later, perfectly packed and healthy. Some of them got a few bruises on leaves, but nothing too serious.
Streptocarpus- Cape primrose (African violet cousin)

Chlorophytum comosum- Spider plant
Most of the plants are already decent size and well-rooted, some of them I had to transplant to bigger pots but to the size of the roots.

Phlebodium aureum- Blue star fern
Monstera monkey leaf

Philodendorn birkin

Rhipsalis

Some of the plants are smaller, but also completely healthy and will soon grow to their full size. 

Sansavieria boncellansis

Dracena

Scindapsus


I still want to get Aloe vera, dieffenbachia, and a few orchids and that should be enough. I’m hoping to have my own little jungle in the house soon.

    Wow – Have you built an extension? Aloe Vera and Diffenbachia are both toxic for dogs so you probably did well not to get those ones.

    You’ll soon have lots of baby spider plants too.
