If you need something cheerful, here’s a picture of Diogenes in his snake plant. 🤗💚🐍

Meet ‘Grow-ley!’

Did I need a new mug? No. Did I buy this one purely because it reminded me of Crowley and I thought I could use it as a cache pot for a plant? Yes, yes I did. 😆

It was about £3.50 in Asda if anyone wants their own snek! I’m tempted to repaint him to be more GO accurate but right now he’s just cute as it is. ❤️

I couldn’t resist getting a snake plant for him, (A bit on the nose? Absolutely!) and when I saw one in the reduced section at the garden centre today it was like fate! So, let me introduce you all to ‘Growley’ the Dracaena ‘Fernwood’

Even under a light my room is probably too dark for it to thrive, and I’ve never had a snake plant before so he may have to move elsewhere eventually but he can live here for now and look adorable. 🐍

@weirdly-specific-but-ok now we’re both in the same boat trying to keep these things alive! 😂😂😂

Sansevieria trifasciata recently reclassified as Dracaena trifasciata (snake plant)

Snake plants are native to tropical West Africa from Nigeria east to the Congo. The stomata on its leaves close during the day and open at night to reduce evaporation. This makes Sansevieria trifasciata drought resistant and in winter it can tolerate two months without water. At this time of year, I give my snake plant a little sip of the wet stuff every two weeks or so but that's only if I remember.

Supposedly, it can be difficult to make snake plants flower but these magnificent specimens, under a skylight in a local shopping mall, are in full bloom. Coincidentally, the one in my living room is flowering too. I'm not surprised, snake plants thrive on neglect. Indeed, you can kill them with kindness - root rot from overwatering is the leading cause of snake plant death.

I bought a snake plant today. His name is Crowley. 💚

I already love him so much, but I’m so nervous because I don’t have a green thumb.

I must become a good plant mother for him.

I've always dreamed of having an outdoor bathroom

[allthingssoulful-garden]

I brought my snake plant inside after it's been living in my apartment building stairwell for the past almost 11 years.

I've realized I've never had a plant in my bedroom in just as long (ok, if you don't count the few weeks during spring when I'd sometimes start my pepper seedlings on my bedroom windowsill) and I've wanted a big plant next to my bed for a long time - like a banana tree or bird of paradise - but they're pretty expensive and I feel like they'd outgrow the space too quickly. So my good, old, 1.6 m tall, snake plant it is.

I can't explain how root bound it is. There's no space to stick a finger in between those stems to check for soil moisture. I never repotted it, it's in the same planter I put it when I first moved here, but it might be time to do so next spring. Was a little woried it won't do well in a changed envoirement, but it's been inside for about a month now and seems happy. The stairwell was also too crowded with plants, so I don't feel too bad bringing it in.

Yes, there's also a lemon tree in there, but that's just temporary, because it almost died on me when I tried overwintering it in the basement last winter, so I'm keeping a close eye on it this time. I've also been keeping it away from my living room plants as it had aphids recently. It's fine now, so it'll be kicked in the other room and then outside again in a few months.

The song "Snake Plant," it's chock full of what seems like memories, and very detailed memories.

Yeah, I actually wrote that when we were still in lock-down, that was one of the first songs I wrote for this collection. And I realized that I had flashes of memory, and I didn't know what to do with them. And I realized, oh I can just kinda create a memory box in a song. You know, I think I'd been thinking a lot about how one day I'd love to write a memoir. And I was getting down about it, being like how am I gonna do that? I'm not gonna be able to tell a linear story of my life. So that was me kind of embracing not experiencing time or memory in this linear way. Like, just creating little shelves of "here's this flash, here's this flash," and embracing it, or allowing myself to experience it in that way. (Alynda Segara interviewed on the "That's How I Remember It" podcast)
