A collection of plants that do not understand that it is January. There are so many more being weirdly productive that I don’t have good photos of yet. (Ludisias/a few more Hoyas/aloes mostly.) I’m stupid proud of my Hoya callistophylla (last photo) for deciding that the dead of winter is the perfect time to start on 4 new leaves (you can see three of them in the photo).
It’s just shy of bone dry in the house, but no one really seems to be giving a shit. Everyone who needs it just gets extra water. They’re all warm enough and getting enough good light, so there’s no reason to take a break, I guess.
I like winter, but it’s nice to have a little green growth at one’s fingertips. Very restorative, but also a lot of work.
