#plant adventures

ugh one step forward (the white knight philo I cut to propagate last year has responded by putting out three new leaves) two steps back (dropped and broke half of my monstera acuminata; CANNOT figure out how much water my little silver sword philo needs,)

The Amaryllis baby is finally getting some leaves! To say I‘m excited the whole ordeal of growing one from scratch (seed) worked is an understatement. I‘m vibrating

Such a nice blog you have. My mom and I have been building a garden in the house ever since the pandemic. Mostly flowers, but now we’re moving more into fruits, vegetables and herbs. We’ll take these long trips around the country (small country) and buy plants and seeds from old ladies who sell them and they teach us valuable information on how to keep them. Sometimes we’ll take a trip because we have become infatuated with a plant and don’t know the name/where to find it and these ladies always know! Anyway in the food/herbs department so far we’ve got lemons, plantains, tomatoes (I hate tomatoes but I tasted it anyway. It was awful, but it tasted just like tomato so that’s nice!), avocado, basil, oregano, rosemary, lavender (it’s not looking good :/ ), and some other stuff I don’t know how to say in English. My mom’s looking into cilantro because I just looove it I could eat that stuff alone and we always forget to buy it when we need it most, I’m a little scared to grow it though, it’s so fragile looking lol. We’re also looking into turning this old fish tank thing we have into a terrarium (I think that’s what it’s called).

Sorry for this long ramble lol it’s just that this stuff is so fun and exciting! It’s really time consuming though, I’m scared I’ll leave it behind when life gets more hectic. Do you know of any other blogs like yours? That narrate stuff like you do with pictures and stuff? Maybe one day I’ll make a blog when I have more knowledge and experience on me.

This ask is so endearing and sweet, the first sentence scared me tho! The first thing that pops in my mind is 'such a nice blog you have.... shame if something happened to it' xD it sounds ominous even if you just say the first half!!

Your quest to collect and grow plants and learn about the seeds and keep them sounds so dreamy and aspirational, I love it! Being infatuated with plants and going above and beyond just to learn about them and grow them, you have a true seedkeeper mindset. It's so much better to learn about seeds from old ladies in person, that is a treasure you have access to there. I never managed to grow lavender, but I will try this year!

I wanna see your terrarium when you make it. I agree growing plants can get a bit time-consuming, but it's also very rewarding. What you do can last for decades and feed people for generations!

I don't know any blogs that are exactly like mine, but there's a lot of information on plants and wildlife on @headspace-hotel, and a lot of gardening info on @chokrihizem. I'd love to follow your blog if you make one! I want that old lady plant knowledge!!!

A student of mine handed me an Ivy plant one year. I didn’t know what it was at the time, but when I realised that it was ivy, I was unhappy. I’ve long associated Ivy with unclean things. He insisted I name it after myself.

It’s 3 years old now.
