Our Ain Urban Jungle

I shudder to intend of the seismic sea wave this postal service would do betwixt my mom too me. My mom is a establish whisperer too she did everything inwards her ability to transcend on her innate vogue of light-green pollex to me but her gardening cistron seemed to conduct hold skipped a generation ;). Now if she is reading this postal service of me writing almost the plants...she volition live totally inwards awe :).

For a dark-brown pollex someone similar me, it was non a happy too polish sailing ride to grow a handful of indoor plants (especially when y'all reside inwards the coldest planet on the earth), but when y'all stick simply about amongst grit too conclusion (while killing fair part of plants) shortly y'all volition ride unopen on the success of learning. Also, when y'all are surrounded past times an optimistic, spirited too a light-green pollex husband, it drives y'all to piece of work on bettering yourself amongst each passing minute to harness that light-green thumb.

We started small…and conduct hold piece of cake started to convey inwards to a greater extent than nature into our pad. And the verdict? So far too so good, that I tin give the sack truly part my experience amongst you all. So, let's start, shall we?

I am going to start amongst these piece of cake to tending Succulents, they conduct hold been amongst us for quite some fourth dimension now. I intend they are non solely attractive for the kickoff fourth dimension gardeners but are also perfect for forgetful gardeners similar me. And the best affair -they hold off dandy amongst minimal care.

Echeveria

This establish requires really niggling nurturing too worships the Sun but also survives good inwards shade. This establish has been generally placed on our dining tabular array and/or java tabular array (where they reckon lots of afternoon sunlight) but yet doing great. In Canadian harsh winter, sunny windowsills are the best spot for them to survive. We commonly H2O it 1 time inwards 10 days or earlier if the soil has dried out.

Zebra Plant

This striking succulent gets its call because of the horizontal stripes roofing its leaves. The best constituent is, it needs minimal H2O inwards three to four weeks too inwards wintertime over a month. Just similar higher upwardly echeveria succulent, it tin give the sack live placed anywhere too it volition yet thrive beautifully. They are perfect for apartments or fifty-fifty on pocket-sized constituent desks to add together that light-green touch.

Ruby ball

These desert loving plants are the littlest plants but they are super cheap too again, depression maintenance. This niggling guy (as lovingly called 'chhotu' past times 1 of the reader) has definitely spruce upwardly whatever corner it has been placed. Also this 1 is a unique combination of 2 cacti grafted together known equally Luna cactus. Avoid much watering inwards wintertime too decease along minimum inwards summertime months. They don’t demand a ton of lite too solely demand to live watered every 2 weeks if the soil dries out.

Dragon Tree

This establish rules out the exception of a low-maintenance tree-like plant. Though, this establish hasn't been much moved from its identify from where it gets brilliant indirect sunlight amongst constant temperature. Also, since it's doing practiced equally is, nosotros haven't bothered to transfer it to some other pot, instead I conduct hold tried to befit the existing pot inwards unlike candle holders to ignore too enshroud the original ugly looking pot.

P.S. We love Ikea solid plants. They e'er seem good cared for too conduct hold diverseness of options inwards plants. All of the higher upwardly succulents too the pocket-sized tree are from Ikea.

Tropical Palm Tree

House plans are non relegated to the piece of work of corner fillers, nosotros desire them to live masterpieces and this palm tree is certainly 1 to add together a dramatic touching on inwards our home. However, it never survived inwards our hands too nosotros probably killed distich of them earlier this tropical beauty came home from a friend who was moving out to some other state. It has been good taken tending inwards the hands of her begetter inwards law and I am crossing my fingers to non kill it. The idea of non surviving/saving it, frightens me. As declared past times her, nosotros are taking tending of the demand of indirect sunlight (from the windows higher upwardly staircase) too watering simply plenty amount of H2O every week. So far too so good. It hasn’t been moved from the step instance landing (okay, that's a lie...may live 1 time or twice for my pictures).

Fern

If y'all scroll through my other social feeds, y'all volition reckon this no fuss - lush hold off establish has been my go-to slice amongst every décor too has been tossed simply about liberally. We definitely posed some difficulties for taking tending of it but 1 time nosotros got hang of it...it is bursting amongst unloose energy too volume. It has been kept inwards a cool identify where indirect sunlight is really mild piece also taking precaution that the soil is e'er moist. It is perfect for a pedestal, hanging baskets or fifty-fifty on the java tabular array simply similar this one. I conduct hold tried posing it amongst several unlike ways...do banking concern check out my feed for to a greater extent than pictures of this plant.

Croton

This rainbow hued establish has won to add together a colorful splash into our otherwise light-green patch. I conduct hold seen many species of this establish inwards an outdoor garden of my mom inwards Republic of Republic of India but I honestly didn’t know much almost it until nosotros owned one. Slowly too steadily it seems to live winning the race inwards our habitation equally well. Bright lite attracts them too so they are e'er generally placed past times the sunny window.

R
ubber plant

An old-fashioned classic rubber establish amongst shiny too attractive leaves has been amongst us since final distich of years too has been good too so far. It was gifted to us past times our neighbor who owns quite an impressive garden indoor too outdoor. Since it's growing well, I haven't bothered moving it an inch away from this window where it has been adding large dramatic accent inwards our dining area.

This is our windowsill where all the plants are thriving. The buttery sunshine dances through this window for the perfect amount of fourth dimension for these plants. I must cite my married adult man hither who takes tending of them lovingly. He maintains his watering schedules too adds establish nutrient 1 time inwards a calendar month or 2 months.

These plants are tricky too may non hold off this great in wintertime months. Due to harsh winter, they hold off droopy too distressing but amongst warm temperatures of confine their smiles come upwardly back.

We were unfettered too iron-willed to conduct hold our ain tiny light-green patch. Hence nosotros gradually learnt our way of surviving these plants past times reading, watching videos and next few tricks of the master copy garden gurus over the years. There were the days when nosotros had non a unmarried establish inwards our habitation (now I wonder, why?). It is overwhelming to purchase houseplants but amongst niggling care, patience too agreement y'all tin give the sack conduct hold a salubrious indoor jungle inwards no time.

We are yet the novel schooler inwards the indoor gardening but hoping that the wisdom of this postal service somehow volition come upwardly inwards handy to keep or start your ain light-green corner inwards your home. Happy Planting, until nosotros come across 1 time again reckon y'all simply about on Facebook too Instagram, tooldes!
