Wonderful! Did you know that pothos cuttings release a substance into the water that act as a rooting hormone for rooting other plants? Just include a pothos node in the water with whatever else you are propagating.

O Snap! see i learned something today, fascinating! Thank You Squiby, will try this out.. now what to do with those 'Baby Moma's' that sprout like fargin Gremlins lol.
yea man.. terrariums are fun to mess about with, the air plants are the latest ones, do show and tell
A little of the current garden 'color'
I used to grow a variety of orchids but this house only has two, both Phalaenopsis. No contest with Mom's wonderful collection!
This is a miniature that flowers it head off. No sooner than on flower spike finishes, another develops. It is small and productive.
The other one is a rescue from a neighbour that over watered it. When I got it the leaves were shriveled and a few were yellowing. It was sitting in a cache pot full of water. I repotted it, cut off the dead roots and started a series of weekly soakings in a strong black tea solution to help it heal. Now a year later, it has finally recovered and is pushing a new leaf. I've not seen it in flower so it will be a pleasant surprise hopefully one day soon.

Well since we're showing orchids, here's ours. I rescued it from work a year or two ago. This is the first flower we've seen.

I filled up my house with plants when Covid hit, a year ago. But some of them are old timers like this cactus.
It was one of those 1.99 purchases from a grocery store in a small 3" pot. Two different varieties are in the same pot. It flowers sporadically in the spring and lives in a 6" clay pot that barely has any soil left in it. The tendrils flow over and down the side of the pot. It dearly needs to be repotted, but I'll leave that for a braver day. It's now over 20 years old.

My grandma has a nice really delicate fern on her table.. its over 100 years old.. no one knows exactly how old it is..
I plan to inherit it and keep it alive for as long as is possible..
I know plants have a lifespan.. right ???
I will get a picture on sunday when i go to see her..
I've had other Ctenanthes (Setosa) in the past that have withered and died. Subject them to any amount of direct sunlight and they are doomed. This one has been very happy in a dim corner with no line of sight to any window. I believe it is a Burle-Markii cultivar.

I love seeing all your plants please keep this up...
Here is the ancient fern i want...
Never been re potted...
Some do. Some seem to go on forever. I have weeping fig that was a tree when I got it and it lived in my office at work for over 30 years. I have it in my home now and will share a picture of it later in the season. Every spring I cut it back and by fall it has formed a generous new canopy. Some plants like begonias or African Violets for example can get shaggy looking after awhile and can benefit from starting anew from a leaf cutting.
I saw a Christmas cactus once that was over 50 years old. It was huge!
I love it!! That's an Asperagus Fern. They are lovely!
Some Iris...
The Columbine that randomly seeded itself in my yard is getting big...
And another random showed up in a sea of purple Columbine. Albino Columbine?

These are my Aralias. First is the stump Ming Aralia. It grows relatively quickly, has feathery foilage and maintains a bushy appearance without needing to be pruned.
And this one is a small variegated Balfour Aralia with its wavy thick leaves. I hope it grows up to be a tree one day. It grows at about half the rate of my other aralia. They both like evenly moist soil and bright indirect light.

I have Leopard Lilies strewn all over the house. Ledebouria socialist is known by many common names: Silver Sqill, Wood Hyacinth, Scillia, Leopard Lily etc.
They sport multiplying bulbs and spotted succulent leaves. Sprays of white flowers emerge in the early spring and last a month or so. The spots on some leaves are more pronounced than others and have purple undersides. They thrive in just about any light conditions and like to be kept dry, so they get watered with the same frequency as my cactus.
