My goofball self forgot to keep track when I was labeling my new pings over the summer 🤦🏻‍♀️ so some of these pings may have the wrong name 😅 but because of how it looks, this MIGHT be the Mehitable… or maybe even the gigantea “red flush” x cyclosecta because both have dark purple blossoms. This one is finally going to bloom, so once it does, I’ll know since the Mehitable has some white on the inner petals while the RF x C is solid purple 😅

If you’re looking for some new oinguiculas or other me carnivorous plants, has a great collection, so they’re my go-to for these natural sticky traps 💚 don’t forget to use my code KATRINA to save 10% on your next order!

Did you buy a new plant this week? 🪴 I got this Golden Oxalis, which is reminiscent of the O. ‘Plum Crazy’ in stature. This is a tiny one compared to the O. Triangularis! I love the colors on this one! I love earthy and sunset shades after all. My daughter has decided to name this plant Goldie, and kept getting upset when I put her down while looking at other plants — still intending to purchase her regardless 🫠 Oh, how proud I am of my plant-loving mini-me 🥰 Now, this oxalis is easy to care for in my opinion. Some say these miniatures would prefer high humidity, but my Plum Crazy has been content in both a high humidity cabinet and in 30%-50% humidity with a grow light. They open and close just like the big oxalis, too!

Happy Monstera Monday, planty friends 🌱 here is a view of my two Thai Constellations, Barquillos and P**o (Filipino rice cake). Both have growth that’s peaking on the petioles, so let’s hope we see a new leave within the next couple of weeks, and MAYBE one or both will be fenestrated!! ✨

What plant phase were you in before your current plant obsession? I LOVED pepperomias. I still do, but anthuriums & alocasias have stolen my heart. Aside from my husband and daughter 😅 This is probably my most favorite Peperomia, and ‘Ecuador’ — mainly because of its size. It has doubled its size since I first got Purin, and it was likely because he was in the Milsbo for a while. Apparently one leaf can get to a foot in diameter?! But look at those ripply leaves! 👀

Finally got a Micans! Isn’t she lovely? I am absolutely loving how beautiful this philodendron is especially in the morning light. The past couple of days hasn’t been as bright due to the weather, so I am appreciative of todays glorious sunny morning. I love iridescent colors, and so this Velvet Leaf Philodendron happened to be in such perfect lighting at the plant shop, so it was time to get one ❤️ the bronze pink tones are so gorgeous, and I’m so excited to watch her grow — which reminds me, I should get her some sort of trellis soon! Have a wonderful Saturday, planty pals!

What is an underrated philodendron? I’ve been saying for a while that I won’t get another philodendron, but I still do to this day. Dàntǎ is a P. Sodiroi, but I feel I don’t see these as often. This one is a climber, so I should probably get him a mini trellis soon, but I just trimmed him for propagations. I love the red & green petioles on the Sodiroi! It’s leaves also have an almost watercolor effect to it to. Well, happy my dear planty pals! 🤍

Happy my dear planty friends 🌱 what is YOUR favorite anthurium? Matcha the A. Clarinerviun sprouted this new leaf over the past week, and I’m loving the autumn color vibes it is giving! Even as my anthurium collection slowly grows, this will still be one of my favorites because it was my first anthurium. Hope you all are having an amazing day as we are wrapping up the week 🤍

Happy 🪴 What is your favorite trailing plant? I had heard how difficult String of Pearls can be, but I finally caved and purchased a baby SOP the other day. It’s very cute and tiny, and I was advised that if you gently squeeze a pearl, it will help you know if it’s thirsty. So if it feels like a cooked green pea, it needs water 😅 what helps you care for your SOP? I want this to be a big beautiful plant one day. Now I need to set up a place for hanging plants soon!

Bow down to the king! 👑 The King Anthurium that is! I finally got my Veitchii, and I’m SO excited. He’s still a baby, and luckily, he’s a slow grower. That means I don’t need a new Milsbo just yet because I honestly don’t have a lot of room now 🫣 I love the texture — it’s so ripply! When you see Veitchii (or any other plant) everywhere on social media, you know it’s a sign to obtain one for yourself ❤️ I cannot wait to see him grow, and he already has a new leaf coming! Is there a plant you’ve seen lately that you just have to have?!

Can you guess how many dots are on Dango the Begonia Maculata?? 🤔 I love using the morning light to capture the colors of my plants’ leaves, and often I feel that those that aren’t by the window, I cannot fully appreciate them. The back of the Maculata’s silver-spotted leaves is a beautiful copper or clay red color. The spots glittered in the morning sun rays, and the red was so lovely. I’m not sure what I’m going to do with Dango once he gets bigger as he is currently in the Detolf. The humidity has helped it to grow, but he should be fine without it once he reaches a certain height. Apparently they can go to 4ft — perhaps taller? Anyways, have an amazing day, planty friends! 🫶
