  1. Help me choose a new office plant!

    I currently have a Maria Arrowhead Plant and a Black Raven ZZ Plant.

    I think something taller would be nice, but I'm totally open to suggestions. Maybe a Parlor Palm?

  2. The first hibiscus flower of this year looks like it might want to open up tomorrow! So I'm assuming Lemon will chew it off tonight 😝

  3. Turbinicarpus klinkerianus - Turbinicarpus schmiedickeanus subsp. klinkerianus -this had been lumped into Gymnocactus for years, it seems Turbinicarpus is back in... Tiny thing, it seems to flower every time I water? (not that often...lol)

  4. While super-cold outside, it's also wonderfully sunny, so indoors is a great place to be.

    (Probably nice outside too, if you dress for it).

  5. "Plants are great. You’re going to want to own a plant and keep it in your apartment. Why? They can clean the air, increase productivity and most importantly, they will cheer you up. Honestly, when has a plant ever made you feel grumpy? Yeah, exactly.​"

  6. Moved 4 of my flamingo flower plants outdoors for Summer open air time.

    #FlamingoFlower is good at absorbing airborne chemicals released by common cleaning products & general pollutants. It's particularly good at absorbing harmful chemicals like ammonia & formaldehyde from the air.

    Be careful if you have cats who love houseplants because it's toxic to felines. Asher has no interest in any houseplants so we are quite lucky because most cats like to sniff/chew on houseplants. He avoids the houseplants & only likes his little cat grass pot. Don't keep these in your home if your cat is obsessed with plants.

  7. Not that anybody asked, but my aloe plant made five babies. They all took root and have now been gifted to friends.

    There’s something deeply rewarding about caring for plants and sharing the results of that care with others. Will definitely experiment more with propagating other plants.

  8. My "Krinkle 8" Hoya plant in my office is blooming again. Because hoyas are pollinated by nocturnal moths, they tend to give off a powerful scent at night rather than by day. In the evening, my office fills with the scent of chocolate covered cherries, which (to my nose anyway) is exactly what the Krinkle8's blooms smell like.
    Delightful! 🍫🍒

  9. One of the things I really enjoy doing is trying to finish images with a few different looks to see what variety of ideas they can communicate. Most of the time, only one version ever sees the light of day. Here’s another look at the “SilentSunday” post from yesterday. This was my first (and typical) take on it but I thought it was better for #MonochromeMonday or maybe #MoodyMonday.

  10. 1/ @plants #Houseplants from the #WindowsillGarden for a sort of #FensterFreitag - 2 of the shots (2nd n replies) have the window glass and one a bit of frame, as background (the other on a countertop, beside with window light!)
    The little #Haworthia was looking colourful- Haworthiopsis now, I haven't been that active in houseplants in recent years, so still not used to the 'new' names which aren't even that new anymore...lol Views backlit and front lit.

  11. My #Hoya cinnamomifolia is blooming! This is one of my oldest #hoyas and it rarely #flowers for me. I don't think it is a difficult #plant, I just think I'm neglectful.

  12. What's not in focus can be just as important as what *is* in focus in a photo! In this case I like the colours and shapes of the background- it might have been ideal to *not* have the pinky blur (another bud) to the right of the #flower, but it adds to the effect of the red-brown blur looking like an alien/sasquatch 😆 #photography #Macro #BeautyInTheDetails #ArtsyFartsy

  14. A closeup of a bloom of my Hoya wayetii plant, showing the hanging droplets of nectar at peak time. At night it exudes the powerful scent I'd describe as apple cider vinegar mixed with caramel. Hoyas are pollinated by moths, so they tend to emit their fragrance at night. Each bloom umbel measures about 1.5 inches across and lasts for several days.

  15. @plants My first post for #FensterFreitag #WindowFriday (so much better in German..lol): not many windows in the bush to photograph 😆 .. However these two #houseplants were showing off a little, so I got a couple of #WindowsillGarden views- then played around a little with the backgrounds for fun.. #artsy

  16. 1st bloom has emerged 🙌

    #Anthurium #andraeanum ( #AKA #FlamingoFlower or #LaceLeaf or #PaintersPalette ). The #flowers are called #inflorescences & have two parts: the #spathe & the #spadix . This type of inflorescence is a #hallmark of the #plant family #Araceae that Anthurium adraeanum belongs to.

    In #NASA ’s #CleanAir #Study - A. andraeanum was #scientifically #proven to #remove #toxins like #formaldehyde & #ammonia from the air 🥰

  20. My upstairs office is filled with the scent of chocolate covered cherries... my Hoya carnosa "Krinkle 8" is blooming again, and its fragrance is delicious! More intense in the evenings, because hoya blooms are pollinated by nocturnal moths.

    I potted this krinkle8 from two cuttings about 18 months ago. It has grown. Each thick green leaf has two rows of dimples, often 8 of them hence the common name. Those pompom blooms! 🙌

  21. #introductionpost #helloworld I am associate #professor of #environmental #history and #worldhistory at the University of #Bergen, Norway.

    Interests: #waterhistory, #STS, #environmentalpolicy, #hydrogeology, #conservation. Currently researching #groundwater and studying #Norwegian. I also enjoy #hiking, #houseplants, and #critters of all shapes and sizes. Easily distracted by #cats.

    Relatively recent transplant to #Norway, and loving my new home.

  22. @plants A little #houseplants fun- this #retro #critter was spotted on a Copiapoa minima #cactus in my #WindowsillGarden As a kid, I had a whole collection of these little rubbery #toys -called Creepy Crawlies back then ('70s).. this was a more recent purchase (5 or 10 years ago?) #PlantNerd #ChildAtHeart

  23. The ordinary becomes extraordinary under the right lighting conditions. I dropped everything to setup and paint this corner of the house. It was done in such a fury that I didn't even have a light on my setup, so I was left in the dark when the sun faded. Winter light moves fast but there's something extra intriguing about it.
