My Arrowhead Plant
Happy November! At this point I have most of my houseplants inside due to the season change to fall and cooler weather. This is my arrowhead plant that I had for over a week now and its doing fine. I also can't wait until it starts to trail and grow long vines. I'm going to document this plant's growth over the course of this winter and next spring.
Aloe Vera Update
My aloe vera plant is really growing up and is no longer a small plant. More new growth has came to it. As it is the season of fall now I'm starting to water lesser and lesser as the weather gets cooler including this plant. I have taken this plant out on my balcony a few times at the end of the season of summer. My aloe vera plant is continually growing and will be an awesome houseplant.
Pothos Update
This is how my pothos looks as of right now. This is a picture of my pothos on the balcony enjoying the weather. It has transformed a lot in this year of 2011. At the beginning of this year the vine was only about 8 inches long and now it is over 3 feet long. These are quick growers and now is starting to take over. I love this plants, this is one of my eldest plants in my garden.
Update on my Philodendron Plant
This is how my philodendron scandens plant is doing now, this is the same plant as in a previous post. Over the past months it has been trailing a lot, it sits in front of my southeast facing window getting sunlight in the morning hours, I water it twice a week and sometimes spray the foliage. This plant is still doing well and will continue being a wonderful houseplant.
Schefflera Arboricola Update
This is how my schefflera looks today, it has grown a lot and has shown a lot of progress. When I first bought it, the growth seemed to slow but then growing new leaves very rapidly. This is one of my most favorite plants in my garden of houseplants, scheffleras/ umbrella plants are great to have around.
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.
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/ 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/ 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.
