iiiiiiiit's monsoon day at the apartment!
it's been a few months? like since august or september that the succulents have had any water other than an errant spritz here or there so everyone's getting bath-levels of water that'll last them another few months

I've been doing a Perry rewatch and taking fun notes for each episode :3 it's really just fun to notice things and write down what strikes me.
I manage a greenhouse irl, and so I'm extra passionate about spotting all of the houseplants in the background of Perry's office and all around in the show. They always have the biggest fiddles and monsteras!
Anyway, I will keep doing these episode doodles! I hope y'all enjoy this!! I've truly been enjoying the tiny perry fandom that has risen up this year and I wanna contribute to the good vibes~~

Columbo S4E4 “Troubled Waters” (1975)
No ferns spotted. I wasn't expecting any potted plants at all, given that this episode takes place exclusively on a cruise ship, but there were a few.
There were these (not sure what they are):
And these parlor palms (left) and dracaena trifasciata, a.k.a. snake plant or mother-in-law's tongue (right).

oh yeah and also, I'm pretty sure all of my houseplants are dead. for some reason someone decided that outside would be a good place to store them. they've been there all of February and March. I saw them like a month ago but it stressed me out so much that I think I tried to forget about it. every time I see them now I feel like shit :)

Tropical Shrine
A sculpture worth a shrine
Things have been looking bright lately. I feel content with who I am now, and that's something I can't remember ever having the privilege to say. So I decided to do this little thing with that feeling before it fades away. Unfortunately, I decided to experiment with this piece and try to be clean for once, which didn't work out as I was expecting, so it has its flaws.

got a bunch of little baby plants and am doing some repotting but damn i have a hard time remembering which ones can't have direct light
all but a few of them are low light types because i don't like window or overhead light (i am a cave gremlin)
but some of them need at least indirect light and i'm trying to get those situated well to the french doors (also i bought another seasonal fern bc i am weak and it's hogging a bunch of the space)
some of the tiny ones are barely hanging on and idk what to do else besides sun+ water
i thiiiink it's the tiny peperomia, the mini spider plant, and the aglaonema that really need out of the direct sunbeams and the couple of little succulents that need moved in more
the one snake plant that i haven't watered for six months needed a bigger pot so i upgraded it and i hope it takes it well. the bitty pearl pothos doesn't need a bigger pot but less sun and more drainage i think, so it got a new pot too
why do i get tempted by plants when i hate natural light so much? i did buy a *little* grow light for the corner though
i need plants that are ok with just ambient low light - the sansevieria is out of the window reach entirely but has been putting up fresh green shoots? the big peace lily keeps unfurling new leaves in the dark corner as long as it gets plenty of water?
but the other peace lily that was by the window is crunchy now and idk how to rehab it (still green? and not wilted but the leaves are crunkly so)
also i seeded some rosemary and sage and they are sprouting but the mint did not come up at all ://

Repotted this snake plant of mine. It has been trying to climb out of its pot for ages. So it was time!
The plant is taller than my window, and took up a huge portion of my window sill.
In its new pot, there are now way it will fit on the window sill at all hehe
but! I hope it will flourish even MORE in its new pot!
