Pothos Update

                                           My Pothos Plant Update
This is my same pothos plant that is in a previous post and over time it has grow a LOT. The vines started to trail to the floor and it got root bound so I decided to repot it into a new pot. Ever since I repotted my pothos, it started growing quickly, sorry about some of the darkness in the photo, it is getting filtered light from my west facing window. Here's how the pothos looks today.

Bromeliad Plant

                          The Bromeliad
I had my bromeliad plant for almost 6 months now and it is still doing great. It is enjoying the end of summer
months now, over the time I had it, there were a total of 4 pups that it sprouted and you can cut them off of the mother plant once they are fully mature and plant them to have more bromeliad plants. As you can see there is still one pup on the plant that I haven't used yet to propagate. Also bromeliad plants need to have water in the center cup of the plant all of the time unless the plant is flowering. These plants need a medium amount of water.

ZZ Plant/ Baby Spider Plants

                                          ZZ Plant/ Zamioculcas Zamiifolia
This is my zz plant or zamioculcas zamiifolia plant. These plants are great, they don't really attract any pests,
they can tolorate any light conditions. My plant in on my south facing balcony that gets a lot of sun throughout
the day. If you don't have much experience with plants this would be a great plant for you. My zz plant came from a local garden center and I bought it for half price which is a huge plus. This is a very forgiving plant.


                                          Baby Spider Plants
My spider plant from a previous post has been flowering for quite some time now and finally is sending off little baby plants. Once they are fully grown you can cut the baby plants off of the mother plant, let them root in water ( or just plant directly into the soil but I prefer water) and after they have enough roots you can plant them into a container with soil and have more spider plants. I'm waiting until  the next growing season to plant these because they are not fully mature plants yet, spider plants are one of my favorites.

Dieffenbachia

                                          Dieffenbachia/ Dumb Cane
This is my dieffenbachia plant, it is doing well right now and getting used to its new home, it came from home depot and the clay pot from a craft supply store. It is starting to grow some new leaves already. Deiffenbachias does not need a lot of light needed to grow properly, it there is too much light present the leaves will fade or the tips will turn brown. Mine gets filtered sunlight  from my southeast facing window which has only a few hours of sunlight, these are easy to grow and take care of, and repays you in great foliage in appearance, also these
are easy to propagate. Great plants to add to your garden.
