Just picked up a wee baby Philodendron Paraiso Verde (Google image attached) and painted lady. I love my philodendrons. What about you? :)

    Currently babying the crap out of a small pile of carnivorous plants, watching over a random array of succulents, pothos, and other household favorites. I also am the “caretaker” of the wife’s small pile of plants, which are more cactus and spices.

    I’m terrified of getting into orchids, and heavier into begonias because of how hard I got into carnivores. I have one of each that are doing well.

    I’ve also got a maranta and calathea that are doing pretty well (today), and a begonia that is now on speaking terms with me after I didn’t make its days any easier. We’re learning together. I’m learning how to take care of her, and she’s learning that I’m an idiot.

      I figure plants are like friends, you won’t win everyone over but the ones that stick will thrive! :)

        Thanks for the heads up! Kbin was still wonky when I tried to get on it earlier, so I’ve been letting it be until the reddit exodus.
