My House Plants
I tend to keep easy to care for plants, that can withstand my mood swings and ADHD. They are resilient! You will either find vining plants, or ones that can grow quite tall.
One of my favorites. My husband bout a cutting of this for my birthday one year and though it grows slow, the color is absolutely gorgeous
Jade Satin Pothos
I got this one as a rehab project from a friend. He is now named Monty (creative, I know). He adds great color and pizzazz to the guest bedroom and mow has provided offspring back to that same friend, and my mom!
Monty the Monstera
Started out as two little cuttings from a friend, Severus has grown into quite the plant!My goal is that he gets big enough to become a statement piece by my front door. For now, he gets lots of light in my office or the guest bedroom. Just because t...
Severus the Snake Plant
My guy, affectionately known as Dilbert, took some time to figure out, but now is a stunner. When he outgrows my place, I already have a friend call dibs for his re-homing.
Dilbert the Dieffenbachia
Technically an epipremnum, this one was slow to start but has now gotten quite long!. I have to constantly cut off the ends and propagate so I don't trip over it.
Marble Queen Pothos
Another I got as a single leaf is starting to really branch out.
Moonlight Scindapsus
This one I just find pretty and though is quicker to die it you don't keep it hydrated, nice thing is, its pretty cheap to pick up at Lowe's.
Ivy
Another Etsy buy! Many will consider this a pothos as a generalization. It is very similar to the Silver Satin but is silver coloring is much more prominent.
Scindapsus Pictus 'Exotica'
This variety is a little more common and can be found at plant stores or maybe through a local Facebook group.
Silver Satin Pothos (Scindapsus)
I don't care if people would normally recommend succulents, THIS is the EASIEST house plant. Very resilient and grows very well. Easy to propagate so if you start small, you can just keep cutting trimmings and adding back in!
Heartleaf Philodendron
