I love plants and fortunately my house has a lot of light and most plants seem to like being in my house. In the past weeks I bought a few new plants, to create even more of an Urban Jungle in my house.
I fell for this little terrarium. If things are alright, this should be a self-functioning eco-system, so almost no watering will be necessary. I did spray a little water inside, since the lid came off in the gardening centre, but I hope that will be sufficient. At this moment, the plants inside look green and healthy.
On the top of the bookcase on the left is a Monstera, that was in my study, but it grows like weed and I realised it needed somewhere to let this all hang. So I decided to move it to here. I hope it will adjust. The Dutch name is Gatenplant, or Hole-plant, not difficult to see how it got its name!
This table and set-up are very recent (this weekend). I thought I had space next to a large chair for a table with plants. On top are a zz-plant and a peperomia watermelon. These two are really hip, I believe, but I like the contrast between these plants and I like leaves with interesting colours.
The Kindje-op-moeders-schoot is called 'Henne mit Küken' here (hen with chick). The Latin name is Tolmiea menziesii. I had heard the notion 'Tolmie' before, but wasn't sure about the exact name, so I looked that up. Love all your plants - they look healthy and happy, I'd say :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, thank you so much for the information! And I love the German name as well, so cute.
DeleteI do give my plants a lot of attention, so they better be happy :-) Although I never manage to keep all of them alive, some of them prove to be too hard for me.
Kind regards,
You do have a lot of plants! I wish I was better at growing things inside, but I do best with hardy perennials that grow out in the yard that can withstand hot weather and benign neglect. :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha, I am horrible with my plants on the balcony, it is south facing and I would have to water the plants there 2-3 x per day, and I never manage that. So I begin in good faith, but soon it becomes a little disasterous. I fare better with my house plants :-)
