    Lino Art: Peace Lilies with a splash of color.

    This is my latest creative venture. I needed a break from a large painting that I am working on, and a linocut was just what I needed. If you have read my previous posts on printmaking, you will know that I find linocut work to be immersive, with unexpected results, which is exciting! I did several prints, but continued to carve the linoleum to achieve what I wanted, using different colored inks and paper. Of the thirteen prints, eight were acceptable. There was one print that I did […]

    The peace lily saga continues:

    Not only did the peace lily produce seeds: the seeds germinated, and now I have a number of ever so small peace lily seedlings.

    On March 2nd I sowed some seeds on a wet paper towel in a petri dish that sat in the windowsill.

    On March 29th some of the seeds seemed to have germinated (see first photo — can you spot the tiny roots?) and the germinated seeds were transferred to small pots that were kept in a “greenhouse” made from a plastic bag to avoid dehydration.

    The second photo was taken today (April 20th) and shows a couple of seedlings that have developed their first leaf. Match for scale.

    This is a project that has called for patience:

    The period from pollination to seeds took 4-5 months. Then it took roughly 1 month for the seeds to germinate, and 3 weeks later the seedlings have just a tiny leaf each. Things can still go wrong, but I'm pretty confident that I will end up having several mature peace lilly plants grown from seeds.

    Meanwhile, I have cross-pollinated two peace lily plants. One was the plant I've had for 10+ years. The other was a “miniature” plant I bought last summer, that was meant to sit on the very narrow windowsill in my bathroom. I was naive enough to hope that some gardener had developed a miniature cultivar of the peace lily, but I was fooled: the plant was just a baby plant of something that has now grown into a mature peace lily plant. Latipac be damned!

    Now I hope that the two plants are unrelated, and not just perpetuated clones, so that the cross-pollination introduces some genetic variability. Perhaps I am wiser at the end of 2024.

    I wish y'all a peace(lily)ful weekend.

    🕊️ Peace now! 🇵🇸 السلام الآن 🇮🇱 שלום עכשיו

  3. The elegant, white, Peace Lily or Spathiphyllum, is not only a beautiful addition to the houseplant collection but it will clean your air as well. It removes formaldehyde, carbon dioxide and benzene from the air in the home.

  4. Hello @houseplants and @plants 👋

    Are you ready, guys? Now this adventure is getting really exciting:

    More than three months ago I hand-pollinated some still closed spadices of peace lily (Spathiphyllum) — see parent post.

    For a couple of weeks, one of the swollen spadices had become increasingly brown, and today I was sure there was no longer any connection to the stem or the mother plant, so I cut it off and broke it up on a lunch plate. (The three remaining spadices are still green.)

    We have seeds!! 🤸

    There may still be a long way to germination and plants, but undeniably having actual seeds feels like a huge progress. The pollination code has finally been broken!

    Yay! 😸

  5. Time for some blossoms! I don’t know the names of all of these, but here are some tropical plants in their beautiful glory for your enjoyment! #bloomscrolling, #tropicalplants, #mexicanplants, #hibiscus, #orchid, #peacelily, #maybecrabclaw? #lobsterclaw?

  6. Our first plants in over 4 years that we've been living here.

    Bought them in .
    They are a and a .

    We are in , , and there's very little light in our little flat.

    Furthermore, there's not a lot of space, any suggestions for other nice plants?

  7. What's going on with this peace lily? Is this too much water? I only water when it starts drooping, about once a week. Maybe the pot is too big? A light issue? It still flowers regularly, currently has one flower, 2 months ago it had 2. Also it's wider horizontally than vertically.
