House plants and such

[Zuidskout]

Having more space since moving back to Oklahoma has afforded me the ability to get more house plants.

Anyone have any particularly cool ones they suggest? Any suggestions on stuff that gets big with proper care?

I’ve currently got a 6ish foot tall banana tree that I could use pointers on if anyone is in the know (see photo below)

Anyone trade cuttings? I’ve got two Adenium Arabicum (I think arabicum) and a cool marbled pathos I’m going to do cuttings off eventually.

General thread for houseplants I guess! Post pics of what you got.

Please pay no attention to the dead Bonsai, it did not make the move sadly.

I go the nonrealistic route. Looks good for a very long time with minimal care and I can “grow” anything I want!

What you have looks good though. I just don’t have time to mess with a lot of things, plants included.

You can only have your fingers in so many puddings brother. I get it.

My wife, God bless her, does not have a green thumb. She does give it the old college try though. She will pick up new plants every so often, but five months later she is dumping them and buying new ones. I've been wanting to get some orchids, but I can't. Every time she would walk into the house you would be able to see her jealousy on her face.

I have a buttload of houseplants -- but it is probably a quarter of the jungle I had even a month ago. My bad ... I kinda had my hands full and didn't stick to my watering routine. Oh well ...

I've been toying with getting rid of the rest of them except for a couple that are my favs. I acquired more cats thru the CDS recently and have my hands full with animals now ...

Another reason I go the nonrealistic route.

Keep me in the loop! Maybe we could provide some with a good home! Good on you taking care of the cats.

I will ... My bestie in Broken Arrow gets first dibs, though! She would NEVER forgive me! Lol

My wife and I were just discussing house plants over breakfast today. I commented that the house plant her niece gave her was wilting. She's not into house plants nor ther care and feeding. This topic reminded me of my Mom's passion for African Violets. She had many of them in small pots indoors on a multi shelfed stand. Well she needed another stand and sent Dad and I out to find one. We never went stand shopping but he did stop at the local Oldmobile dealer and bought a new Vista Cruiser. When we got home he said "look honey I bought you a greenhouse".
