Looky What I Found

YES!!! It certainly does!!! lol

Maybe so. I think I have stacks but no pyramids yet, lol.

I was trying to find a better way to get them all in the window but it wasn't working...LOL yes I have a lot of plants, and I want more! LOL

OMG! I am apparently well on my way.. My windows are full of plants!! If there is even a stitch of sunlight coming in, there is a plant.

You guys are rubbing off on me!!! ; )

I just took 23 pictures of my dinning room, Plant hallway and part of my kitchen counters nothing but plants see lookey

OMG, OMG, OMG.....Yes Girl, you are thoroughly addicted. Where do you put your children and hubby? Now I don't need to see your plant list.. I can just look around the house to see what I might like to have, in trade of course. ; )

LOL, I got plants in all thier rooms too, and the bathroom! Like I said I like to grow everything in the house, part of that is because my meds and the sun do NOT mix well!

How do you see the pictures? It sends me to a list, but maybe that's because I haven't subscribed yet. I will, soon. Aw, I wanna see, lol.

hhhmmm lets see here's picture 1

3jsmom31, There are more pictures if you can see them let me know. and I will post the rest for you

I do the same thing with my small pots! Tuck them and hope I remember where I put what when I want to look at something. I have been looking at some things with a magnifying glass, and it is so comical to see my youngest walk around doing the same. Maybe he'll be a scientist. I use shelves to warehouse plants for the winter, then out for the summer. I'll try to get a picture after I finish my latest plant room project. I am putting styrofoam under pots on the concrete so they don't get too cold. Everything is drug out to the middle of the room instead of where I usually have it. And also, if you have 5 pots of the same size, you can arrange the 4 in a tight circle and set the 5th on top center, lol. The fountain effect. I use small cups for rooting or small divisions, but eventually move them on to at least nursery pots, lol.

yeah I am reusing a ton of nursery pots, plus I have some things in plastic cups from when I temporarily forgot where I put the pots....like I said I like everything! LOL

Trina,
In picture # 5, what is that in the larger pot in the floor in front of the wine fridge?


btw, Your wine fridge is looking a little depleted. Let me know when you fill it up and I will come visit and we can "talk plants"... ; )

Trina, I have the same problem, lol. I don't have that many small pots, so it's all solo cups.

You have quite a collection. I'll bet you have places that you like to just sit and see all the different colors and shapes come together :). I love it here when the sun is bright. I never could grow the fig you have in pic 3. I don't even know why, lol.

I can take some cuttings and root them for ya if ya want and the write down for you how I take care of it to get it that big...and just tell me if you want to see more pictures, I forgot I can post them in here

The sun is peaking out :) Edited to say sorry it is so dark!

This room is still all torn up, but I figure it will take me all day to straighten it the way I have planned, lol. It's a nice place for me to spend time, though. I always find little surprises, buds, new growth or just enjoying dappled sunlight :).

Beautiful pics 3jsmom...

I wish I had a room that I could use like that.. The only extra room I had is now being used as my stepsons bedroom...

What you growing in that Gatorade bottle in the first pic?

Nothing. The kids littered. There is a chair right in front of that set of windows and they read there a lot :)... I just sit and look when it's my turn. Don't laugh at my 1/2 milk jug. I use them to break down apart plants soil and mix new dirt in, or as a catch pan if watering something, lol.

hey that looks awesome, but yours looks better because your plants are bigger, mine are all still quite small with a few exceptions hard to believe I started with 1 half dead spider plant and a very neglected green rubber tree last halloween! I just can't wait until these puppies get larger!

LOL Trina,

When they get larger you are going to have to buy a bigger house... ; )

I think your setup looks great, Trina. You at least have matching pots, lol. I have whatever cups I find cheap (even old yogurt containers, lol) that are the right size. I have plenty of immature plants, I just tuck them around the big ones, lol. I am still watching the anthurium pot to see what color pops up, lol. I would love to trade with both of you.

I have a question. How do you girls water all those plants. I see that some don't have catch trays.. Do you haul them all outside or to a sink to water and drain? Thats alot of work...

I have catch dishes in the room with the red ti cordyline. I had everything out on the porch a few days ago to spray neem, and I'm still getting it all back to normal. I water over a bucket for the smaller plants. It's a nice time to check progress and look for any trouble :).

The other room has a concrete floor so I just let it fall. I can even water or mist with a hose. It's like a Florida room in Kentucky :).

Well then, I am so jealous.. maybe I will close in my covered patio on the back of the house...

Will you show me a pic of this plant, red ti cordyline, please?

It's in picture number 1, the middle window. taller red plant. I would enclose the patio in a heartbeat. In your climate, you wouldn't even need to heat it very much. I had a little green room on my grans porch in northern bama, and a space heater was all it took. You have to have a backup plan for power outages, and you need to account for ventilation or at least a ceiling fan for air movement. Have something that you can open up on warm days, etc. You can get double walled lexan or build walls and windows. You could even do a temporary 6mm plastic that you take down for the warmer seasons. Oh, I just get all excited thinking about it, lol.... :)

The cordyline is maybe getting more sun than it needs, but I know they can take high light and it is providing shade for some other plants. I still love how it looks, so as long as the plant puts up with it....

I like it... Pretty Red.

I have been to all our Walmarts (5) and both Lowes and both HD. The Anthuriums are all white or pink.. I want a red one like Paulies. I found one but it was in really, really bad shape... even worse than the one I saved.

Trina: My goodness girl, do you have plants or do you have plants?! I think your plants own the house and you just reside there with them! Wow, you could go into business! Man, I thought I had a lot of plants but no way ... not compared to that jungle you have! I do love plants but I'm afraid I'd become overwhelmed with that many, LOL. And, I have a short attention span so I wouldn't be able to keep so many alive!

3jsmom: Lovely plant room you have as well! Love your first photo "sun peeking out" ... very pretty picture! How lucky you are to have a room dedicated to only plants and it looks like you have a very nice collection!

I have very few plants inside as my house is small and doesn't have a lot of natural light. Some of you may have seen this picture before, but this is my "Playground" where most all of my plants stay year round. I always said I would love to be able to design and build a house according to my plans .. it would have a huge atrium in the center of the house for plants, hammock, waterfall, comfy chairs to lounge in, plants ... hmm, and did I mention plants? ^_^ The rest of the rooms would be around the perimeter of this huge oasis, some with french doors opening onto the atrium/plant room.

Wow Plantladylin,

If your house is small your pool house certainly is not. I have seen pictures of your pool in the past but did not realize it was in an enclosure. NICE.
