You'll have to excuse the shitty lighting and also the weird green paint. I moved these into the kitchen to water and was too lazy to move them back for better photos.
I thought I'd post photos and talk about the plants that I was talking about in those other 2 asks a couple days ago.
I don't actually know the name of this plant. This is the really weird funky looking plant that I've had for about 4-ish years.
I got it from Walmart around Christmas time I think, it was very short and had very nice white flowers. It went outside for a brief bit because I thought it died after it was done flowering (clearly it did not) it's gotten very tall and you can kinda see in the photo it's being propped up by an unbroken pair of chopsticks. I really gotta get a different stake for it tho.
Amazing and easy to care for plant. looks nice and grows fast. 9/10
Disocactus anguliger or Fishbone cactus is probably one of my favourite plants I own because it looks very weird. That is usually the driving point of every plant I buy but this one took me like half a year to find.
This one is only about 2(?) years old. As they age and grow Fishbone cacti tend to droop downward, lending it an even more wild look and also making it a good plant if you want to put it in a hanging basket.
Mine is looking particularly strange as it's growing aerial roots right now which could be for two reasons: 1, It's looking for something to climb and latch onto (weird I know, I'll explain in a sec) anyway that's likely.
2, many tropical plants like the Fishbone cactus developed aerial roots to find more water (very likely).
The Fishbone cactus is a tropical plant which means that it requires a lot more water than you would usually give a cactus, mix that with it being a very dry and cold season and me forgetting to water it, it makes sense for the aerial roots to be there.
Final rating 8/10 The plant looks very nice, but may be harder to take care of if you often forget to water your plants as the soil needs to stay at least a little wet.
Dracaena trifasciata or mother in law's tongue? I just call it my snake plant because it is.
This is my oldest plant. I've had it for about 6 years and while I accidentally said it's about 4 feet tall it only about 3 and a half feet tall.
What I love about snake plants is that they require such low levels of light and water it's easy to just forget on a shelf. And if you do forget it, unless it's been a very very long time there's nearly no consequences. I do believe this is the first time I've watered this one in a month.
These plants are definitely my number 1 recommendation to people who haven't taken care of a plant before.
There are actually many different kinds of snake plants. The one I have is probably the most common, but they come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, including one (Dracaena masoniana) that I kid you not looks like 1 giant leaf growing out of a pot. I want one desperately.
The care for snake plants are very easy and basically are: 1, keep in indirect light (and no light for a bit but don't forget to bring it out to the sun once in a while) water only when the leafs are bendy and kind of soft to the touch (the soil should be completely dry) and that's pretty much it! This is one of my favourite plants just for how easy it is to take care of!
rating is a 10/10 because it is just so easy to care for and is quite showy when the plant is more full and not the size of a toddler.
uh anyway thanks for coming to my TED talk?

My pretty fishbone cactus shot on macro! Took these in my old apartment where I had Christmas lights hanging so caught some fun bokeh in the back.

Behold one of my newer favorite plants, the ric rac (or fishbone) cactus!
I'd never seen one of these before I encountered this one in a plant shop last year, and had no idea what to expect. Contrary to what its name would suggest, it doesn't like direct sunlight, and enjoys regular watering (this is perfect for my situation, as it so happens).
When I first got it it only had thick, fully formed leaves, and I had no idea what its growth habit would be. It has since put out a bunch of these thin shoots, which gradually fill in from the top down with the fuller zigzag shape. It seems like these should make it easy to propagate, though I'm holding off for another month or so before I try it.
They are epiphytic, which means that they grow on other plants or trees, like orchids. They can also bloom in the right conditions, but I haven't seen that (yet).

2024 Planty Update: Year in Review
Background: Prior to March 2020, my partner and I had a few houseplants: two spider plants, an african violet, lucky bamboo, a coleus, some sort of ivy, and a couple of succulents. We started collecting Sansevieria and two "Corn Plant" Dracaena early in the pandemic. Then, during the summer of 2022, I caught the houseplant bug. HARD. (Yes, it was a Monstera) That same winter, my partner was working full-time and taking classes, so I became the primary plant carer in our household.
As of October 2024, I am caring for 50 "indoor" houseplants. I am putting "indoors" in parentheses because many of my plants live outside for the warm season (about half of my collection). This currently includes a tiny English Lavender plant that was in a pot and too small to be transplanted and survive the winter. It also includes an entire pot of lemon seedlings, which I will need to rehome sometime soon.
My "permanent collection" includes 12 Hoya, 11 Dracaena (Corn Plants, Lucky Bamboo, and Snake Plants), 3 Begonia (two cane and one rex), 3 African violets, 2 Philodendron, 2 Schlumbergera, 2 Scindapsus, 2 pothos, a Spider Plant, an Aloe vera, a Gasteria, a tiny jade plant, a lemon we are trying to bonsai, a Discidia, a cyclamen, a Monstera adensonaii, a fishbone cactus, and a Pepperomia.
For the most part, this was a great growing season, and my plants are doing very well. The spider plant and Philo Basil are being rehabbed for root rot issues, and my Hoya publicalyx is still outside because it's got aphids.
My goals for 2024 were:
Figure out how to get my Philodendron "Painted Lady" to grow well (done)
Learn to trellis Hoya in an attempt to tame them (done)
Grow my Golden Pothos up my wall (failed and rehomed)
Master trimming cane Begonias (eh - I mostly just let them grow)
Flowers on my Hoya (success, sort of, though not the expected one)
Work on coleus care (eh, its just really not an inside plant but my partner insists on keeping it)
"the great repotting" (done)
Over summer my cyclamen successfully (done)
Turn my front porch into an outside growing space (done)
I also wanted to try out different-leaved Hoyas, a Philodendron Brasil, and possibly a Rhypsalis. I ended up with the Philo (see above: that's not going well), a Hoya linearis, and two smaller-leaved Hoyas. Instead of a Rhypasalis, I got a fishbone cactus.
My favorite houseplants for the growing season are as follows (in no particular order:
Hoya carnosa 'Krimson Queen' wins for Biggest Surprise as it grew two nearly white leaves.
Scindapsus pictus 'Exotica' wins for Prettiest Leaves because those silver speckles leaves are outstanding.
Philodendron erubescens "Painted Lady" wins for Best Glow Up because it was on the struggle bus last spring and is now growing leaves out of their own cataphylls (a sign of maturity).
Dracaena trifasciata 'Laurentii' (formerly Sanserveria trifasciata) wins for Best Form because, wow, it looks like the perfect sculpture.
Hylocereus undatus 'Dragon Fruit Cactus' wins for Biggest Weirdo because it so wild.
Honorable mention goes to a two-way tie for Best Plant Pot Combo, with my NOID African Violet in its perfect pink pot and my Hoya 'Mathilde' cascading like a dream out of its mushroom pot.
My favorite genus is Hoya, followed by a tie between Scindapsus and Begonia. As a general grouping of plants, I prefer epiphytes and semi-epiphytes. I'd love to add more jungle cacti and an orchid or two to my collection. But for now, I am completely out of room, and (most) of my houseplants will keep growing!

My two houseplants that sit on either side of me when I draw. The oxalis I used to have in here is in a different room now, it’s still alive I swear :,)
Fishbone cactus that needs repotting yesterday, and a sad little Devil’s Spine that I found on sale missing a lot of leaves. I thiiiink it’s growing now?
I love my sitting/drawing space. So lucky to have it.
They’re both ridiculous and bony looking— the fishbone (left) looks to me like an elementary school kid’s drawing of a plant. Like just the concept lol. Looking for another pot… why do they cost so much
