Faridat's blog: Some of my new plantbabes

Posted on Nov 1, 2017 4:28 AM

I got myself a plain trailing ivy in a hanging basket. I've been wanting so long to have hanging baskets at home.
I am surely going to get myself some more, there is plenty of space to accomodate more hanging from the curtain pole above the kitchen window
and door. They will also get some good quality light there.
I got an uber cute still not tall plant, which the greenhouse owner said it is a type of monstera, a variegated Ficus Elastica, a Zamioculcas Zamiifolia and a Philodendron Cordatum "Brasil". I got a huge bag of potting soil but I won't attempt to repot now, will leave it for much later, maybe in spring. I will only repot the Brasil philodendron, which I am sure is root bound for that small pot it is in.
I am in love with the beautiful leaves of the Ficus! I have put it in front of the southern window in the living room, it needs bright indirect light.
I saw a Caryota palm, which I fell in love with, but I'm not sure I am ready to purchase this beauty. Even the plant nursery owner said he doesn't know much about his
behavior yet and he gets to see how he's going.
Anyway, my living room is starting to look like a small urban jungle and that is what I was aiming for actually. Gradually I hope I can green all the rooms in the house,
of course with plants suitable for the windows, the light is so important to consider.
My Zamioculcas will be fine in the bedroom, as well as my Dieffenbachias I think, those are plants that can live in lower light conditions. But most of the plants
I'm getting seem to like a lot of indirect light, even the ferns don't like the bedroom!
