My succulents have grown so large that I need to plant my Succulent Aquarium Terrarium…maybe two! You may have seen in a few fleeting scans of my plant room that I have some large round glass terrariums in which I have grown succulents over the past years. These various succulents have done surprisingly well for…
In this ongoing saga about my obsession with House Plants, the indoor kind, I am now trying my best at incorporating Hypertufa Pot Designs for my newer purchases. It is kind of exciting to check out a plant and then decide what shape of hypertufa mold I might want to use to get the best…
Accidentally in some ways, I have a closed terrarium of club moss or Selaginella that is doing rather well. Surprised me when I thought it was dying out & it just started growing again. The club moss is actually Selaginella kraussiana. This has grown very well in my bottle garden. In fact, so well that…
On a recent Plant Haul which really wasn’t a plant haul, I happened to run across a Scindapsus pictus, one of these plants that I have seen in YouTube and heard talked about but I have never had one. A Scindapsus Pictus is what most people call a Satin Pothos or Silver Philodendron, but no…
Pilea peperomioides planted in hypertufa for the summer has turned out to be pretty successful. I found no problem with them growing outdoors though I did take them out of full sun. The hypertufa’s excellent drainage may have helped them thrive during their stay outside, but now in order to keep them alive, I need…
Its name is Strobilanthes dyeriana “Persian Shield” and it is such a stunning color in your garden or containers. Be ready with that name because you will be asked time and time again. This beautiful plant that I have on my front porch in matching urns has grown so well this year. It is partly…
My Moss Tufa, the giant hypertufa trough that I wrote about in this post, is not looking as well as I thought it should. Most of the moss had changed to an orange color and had long strings hanging up off it. Not real attractive to me and not the look I was going for…
First of all, I have never tried snake plant propagation, but there is no time like the first time, so I thought I would share the experience in case you wanted to try it too! We all have to start sometime if we want to do it, right? I will be trying water propagation and…
I have a hoya carnosa houseplant that I have had since the spring of 2019 and I have been anxiously awaiting a bloom. I wrote about it on a post a while back but really didn’t have too much hope. But she has astounded me with a BLOOM! But when should I expect a hoya…
Thanks to one of my viewers/subscribers “Yeats” on YouTube, where all my videos are hosted on Kim’s Gardens, I found a great question to answer here on the blog. (Of course, I will make a video too because that’s what I like to do!) Most of the time, I like to buy the premixed soil…
