Gabi, I think that things are looking great at your place!! I certainly don't think that you are crowding, I would say "clustering". I love when plants are clustered and overlapped...it seems to contribute to a jungle atmosphere. Thank you for the kind compliments on my hoya arranging - it just reinforces my need to add to the whole spiel! Heee. Heee. How are your Liddle cuttings coming along?

I am still just awed by your huge serpens! I love that plant. Mine is about 3 little strands, but it is trying!! I don't think that it will be as big as yours though, even if it were to grow for a hundred years.

Is the table in your bedroom mahogany? I love the red hardwoods in furniture. LOL about Sam not being impressed with your new plants. I am telling you, keep it up, and soon she won't even notice when you add a new one! Ha - I bought a huge cactus this week, it is 9 feet tall (it has been a long time since I was tempted by anything other than a hoya), and is very hard to miss. My sister was visiting, and trying to stir the pot, asked Bryan what he thought of my new cactus. He wandered around the house for a while, but couldn't seem to find it. It is right next to the TV too. HA!!

Here is a closer-up picture of my subquintuplinervis leaves, and then I will show you the close up of the new pachyclada. I really like both, and notice that the pachyclada is much more succulent feeling than my subquintuplinervis. I don't think that is a plant factor, but a watering frequency factor. (I tend to over water, but I am working on that. :)
