Last week, this leaf started the retirement proces Last week, this leaf started the retirement process. This week, it's all done. - But I was so excited to see the vine had already pushed out a new leaf (didn't notice anything last week). - The other vine (with two growth points) also started sending out new leaves. - I'm very pleased with the progression! - #houseplantjournal #monstera #monsteramonday #ThanksForPhotosynthesis #leafretirement
I bought this Burning Bush last year but didn't ge I bought this Burning Bush last year but didn't get around to planting it in the ground. - It sat outside all winter, still in its nursery container. - This spring, it grew back a fair amount of foliage so I decided to plant it as a container planting. - I found this nice sturdy hexagonal planter from @kims_nature and felt that it complimented the structure of the plant. - I'm looking forward to fall when its leaves turn bright red! - #houseplantjournal #burningbush #containergardening
Aglaonema are typically stated as "low light plant Aglaonema are typically stated as "low light plants" but they end up in dark corners and people wonder why the plant doesn't do well in the long term - I prefer to say "make sure the indirect light levels are at least 100 FC (or 20 µmol) most of the day" - Once you measure your light and place plants accordingly, your watering and fertilizing will ensure the plant grows well - No amount of careful watering and magical fertilizer will help a plant in a dark corner - light is step 1 - Comment "Light meter" if you're ready to make understanding your light a priority 🌿💚 - #houseplantjournal #lthmeter #lightmeter #plantcare #aglaonema
I'm never worried about dying leaves because I've I'm never worried about dying leaves because I've documented my plants in great detail - enough to know that leaf turnover is inevitable and natural - From what I've observed, a potted Monstera deliciosa growing indoors has a leaf lifespan of roughly 2 years - Which means your growing conditions and care need to be good enough for the plant to put up several new leaves before that one dies - and to accept that the overall plant will change over time - In February 2021, this leaf was the newest and most pristine leaf. Today (May 2023), it is retiring but there have been many new leaves that followed - This is why I don't look at a dying leaf and wonder "what am I doing wrong?" - losing older leaves is completely fine. - #houseplantjournal #monstera #monsteramonday #monsteradeliciosa
