Begonia imperialis

I didn't know it is native to Guatemala, my home country! 💚 I'll be looking for it next time I go.

This one has been pretty easy to grow. They show you when they are thirsty, because all leaves droop dramatically.

The BIGGEST piece of houseplant advice I wish I’d known sooner:

Use a soil moisture meter!

It’s a LIFESAVER to quickly check whether a plant needs water yet or not. (Usually it doesn’t yet!*)

Many plants have their own “tells”** that you can learn to read with experience, but it’s just SO much simpler (and more accurate) to check (or double/check) using the meter. I cannot stress highly enough how much easier it makes taking care of your plants when you can remove that guesswork.

That said, there are two things to keep in mind while using a soil moisture meter:

1. If you get a cheaper one ($10 or less), in my experience it may wear out and become unreliable after a few to several months. You may be better off spending a few more bucks for one that will last longer.

2. If you have a lot of plants in different rooms or stories of your home, I highly recommend getting more than one for the sake of convenience.

3. Wipe or rinse off the meter probe off in between each plant! Houseplant pests can leave larvae in the soil, which can then be spread to whichever unlucky plant you use the moisture meter on next. (I learned this the hard way!)

* My golden rule is: When in doubt, wait a few more days. With very few exceptions, most houseplants will tolerate and bounce back from underwatering (too-infrequent watering) whereas overwatering (too-frequent watering) is often be a death sentence. Most houseplants (especially succulents, cacti, snake plants!) prefer to have their soil dry out completely or almost completely in between waterings.

** often things like its leaves that are drooping, curling, or wrinkling, or they’re feeling/looking thinner and more pliable. Or the soil looks and feels dried up, the pot feels lighter, etc.

Do you fertilize your houseplants?

At work, we were talking about fertilizing plants, and my coworker was shocked to find out that I don't fertilize mine. Do y'all fertilize your houseplants?

Doing it again.

She owned orchids She has seven of them

Five of them have nice foliage (One needs TLC)

Blooms are nice But she’s grateful For healthy foliage

(and roots)

However, one caught her attention the most

Winter was starting But “Solaris” didn’t get the memo Something was growing

And wasn’t a(nother) root

It was a spike A defiance against winter. —Amoridere, 11/29/2022

String of pearls

I've grown this plant for several years now, but I had never repotted her...it was time.

I took her out of her plastic pot that was slightly smaller than this clay pot. This whole time I had the plastic pot inside of that clay pot, so I decided to simply pot her directly in the clay one.

I added my regular soil mix of coco coir, perlite and smart release fertilizer and also gave her a haircut.

Let's see how she continues to grow 🪴
