The purple passion plant (Gynura aurantiaca) is a popular houseplant admired for its velvety leaves edged in bright purple and enhanced with tiny purple hairs that give a soft sheen. Its bright purple stems and trailing vine structure make it ideal for hanging baskets, providing vibrant color indoors. As an evergreen perennial, this plant is low-maintenance and thrives with regular pruning to manage its size, typically living three to five years. Because it is one of the plants that continue to thrive even when root-bound, you do not need to repot the purple passion plant as often as other houseplants. 
âThai Constellationâ monstera is an evergreen perennial in the Arum family. It has large, smooth, green leaves with beautiful cream-colored variegation. The markings on the leaves resemble a smattering of stars against a night sky, which is where it gets its name. Each leaf has its own distinct pattern and is completely unique.
As the plant ages, the leaves will grow larger and take on the familiar fenestration that is typical to monsteras. Natural holes appear in the leaves, which increase in number as the plant ages. Younger leaves may only have a couple of holes, where older leaves will have significantly more.
In terms of growth, âThai Constellationâ is a climber, like the non-variegated Monstera deliciosa. However, the leaves produce less chlorophyll, so it doesnât grow quite as fast. It also tends to have a tighter, bushier habit rather than a fast upward habit.
As it grows taller, this plant will produce aerial roots which help it to climb. Itâs helpful to give it a moss pole or other support if you want to see upward growth. 
Haworthia, also called zebra cactus, pearl, star window, and cushion aloe, is a large genus of small, slow-growing succulent plants. They resemble mini aloe plants with rosettes of fleshy green leaves generously covered with white pearly warts or bands. Commonly kept as indoor plants, they require bright light but not all-day full sun, preferring temperatures between 70 to 95°F. Haworthia thrives in sandy, well-draining, neutral soil that provides adequate summer moisture and relatively drier winter conditions. There are more than 100 species of haworthia, but their classification can be complex. The main difference among the common species is the size of the leaves and the orientation of the white markings on the leaves.
The distinctive bird of paradise is one of the best-known tropical flowers. It is closely related to the banana plant. The bird of paradise plant is named for closely resembling the tropical bird of the same name. It is easier to grow than many tropical plants and makes for a vigorous, rapidly growing indoor plant. It can be moved outside in the summer where it may thrive for a few months.
Bird of paradise plants typically flower in the late winter or early spring but can flower at other times of the year when provided optimal conditions. These plants grow with upright leaves emerging directly from the soil and have no trunk. The large leaves range from 12 to 18 inches long and can develop splits in the leaves when exposed to windy conditions or brushed against in a busy hallway.
The scientific name for the Bear Paw succulent is Cotyledon tomentosa. Its common name is Bearâs Paw, but it is often referred to as Bear Paw or Bears Paw. You may even see it called Bear Paw Cactus although it is not a cactus plant. Native to arid areas of South Africa, it is drought-tolerant and will cope with varied light levels and temperatures and even a little neglect. Bearâs Paws are compact succulents with multi-branching stems. Leaves grow in pairs on opposite sides of the stem, which appear from above as open rosettes. The leaves are its most striking feature and give rise to its common name.
Cotyledon tomentosa 'Variegata' is an attractive succulent shrublet with densely branched stems that bear hairy, bright green leaves with irregular yellowish to cream-colored stripes and 3 to 10, often reddish, marginal teeth. It can grow up to 20 inches (50 cm) tall.

Peace lilies, or Spathiphyllum, are evergreen flowering plants from the tropical regions of Central and South America. Commonly grown indoors outside their hardiness zones (11-12 USDA), these plants are celebrated for their large, glossy leaves and stunning white blooms that appear mainly in the spring. With proper care, peace lilies can live for over two decades, maturing in about three years. Though not true lilies, they belong to the Araceae family and are favored for their ease of growth.
The Chinese money plant (Pilea peperomioides), also known as the friendship plant, is treasured for its unique coin-shaped leaves and easy care requirements. Known by names like the coin plant and UFO plant, this houseplant thrives indoors with minimal fuss and seldom flowers inside. Its perennial nature makes it a low-maintenance and pet-friendly choice, offering air-purifying benefits. Given the right light conditions, this plant can double in size in just a year, and it effortlessly creates new plants that are perfect for sharing with others.
Aloe Ă delaetii is a hardy succulent hybrid, admired for its long, fleshy leaves that exhibit a unique blue-green hue, often edged with soft teeth. The leaves arise from a central rosette, typical of aloe plants, creating an attractive radial symmetry. In response to strong sunlight, the edges may blush with a rose tint, a beautiful adaptation to its arid homeland, thus balancing sun exposure and moisture retention.
Rhipsalis cereuscula is a shrubby cactus with light green stems crowned with clusters of tiny, rice-shaped joints. The stems are initially erect but become pendant as they grow, reaching a length of up to 3 feet (90 cm). Its greenish-white flowers are often tinged with pink, appear from the terminal areoles, and are followed by tiny, white berries. They are bell-shaped and can grow up to 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) long and 0.8 inches (2 cm) in diameter. 
From the "BOHO LOVE" Collection: "Bring home the magic of love with BOHO LOVE, our new and most exclusive Bohemian line! BOHO LOVE is the result of many years of selection, special cultivation methods and loving care and attention. This enchanting and unique plant is characterised by its compact size, abundance of flowers and spectacular, distinct shape. The short stems grow in the outline of a breaking wave and cascade graciously over the plant displaying their wonderful large flowers. The original habitat of orchids is the tropical rainforest, where they grow on trees without taking nutrients from the tree. Orchids do not grow in soil but have air roots that absorb water and nutrients. For this reason, a phalaenopsis orchid does not need much water, but it does like a humid climate. BOHO LOVE is therefore exclusively supplied with a special water reservoir. This creates the right humidity for the plant between watering sessions and reduces stress. The result is a longer and more exuberant display of flowers." 
Ludisia is a small orchid genus of only two species. They are prized more for their attractive foliage than their flowers. It is a flowering orchid; however, the blooms are smaller and less showy than most orchids. Commonly referred to as Jewel orchids, they have different growth habits than most of their relatives, which makes their care different. This can be challenging for even the experienced orchid cultivator. With a little guidance, though, Ludisia orchids can be easy to care for and fast propagators. 
Moth orchids, or Phalaenopsis orchids, are favored by many plant enthusiasts for their easy care and beautiful blooms. They can showcase numerous flower buds on gracefully arching stems, lasting two to three months. By providing appropriate care, these orchids can flourish for up to 15 to 20 years in your home. The name Phalaenopsis comes from the Greek phalaina (moth) and opsis (appearance), the Swedish naturalist Carl Peter Thunberg thought the flowers resembled moths in flight when he described the genus in 1825. Today, Phalaenopsis is the worldâs most commercially produced orchid, accounting for roughly 75% of all orchid sales

Pothos (Epipremnum aureum) is an easy-care houseplant, perfect for beginners. This tropical vine, native to the Solomon Islands, can be trained to climb supports or trail from pots and hanging baskets. Its adaptability and low maintenance needs make it a valuable addition to any indoor garden.
This fast-growing plant, often extending 12 to 18 inches each month, showcases draping vines with green, heart-shaped leaves that may have variegated patterns in white, yellow, or pale green. Pothos likes sun or shade and can grow in low-light areas or those with only fluorescent lighting.
The Swiss cheese plant (Monstera adansonii) is a striking houseplant known for its large, heart-shaped leaves that develop holes as they age, resembling Swiss cheese. This plant can climb up a moss pole or grow into graceful, trailing vines. Related to the Monstera deliciosa, it grows quickly indoors, reaching between 3 to 8 feet, and even more in its native habitat. Swiss cheese plants are vigorous climbers, with aerial roots growing downward from the stem, which brace against the ground or any available support. In the wild, it will use these roots to push itself up onto an adjoining tree or woody vine
With their thick, woody stems and oval-shaped leaves, jade plants have a miniature, tree-like appearance that makes them very appealing for decorative houseplants. They live for a very long time, are often passed down from generation to generation, and reach heights of 3 feet or more when grown indoors. Jade plants may be grown outdoors as landscape plants in areas with a mild, dry climate year-round (typically Zone 10 and warmer). They are very susceptible to cold damage, so in locations where temperatures get to freezing or below, itâs best to grow jade in containers and take them indoors when it gets below 50°F (10°C).
Monstera Peru (also known as monstera karstenianum) is an unusual monstera species that doesnât produce the fenestrated leaves usually associated with monsteras. Instead, this small variety has small, rounded, somewhat leathery leaves that are puckered and ridged, similar to some species of peperomia.
This plant originated in Peru, which is where it gets its nickname (no surprise there, right?) and because its leaves are so different from other varieties of monstera, the care for this plant differs a bit from that of its cousins in the monstera family. But though itâs a little different, monstera Peru plant care is still quite simple, and many consider this variety to be more forgiving than many of its relatives! 
Corn plants (Dracaena fragrans) are evergreen trees native to Africa, known for their slow growth from thick canes topped with long, narrow leaves that resemble corn stalks. These plants are excellent for maximizing vertical space in your home, as they typically reach between four to six feet in height when grown in a container. However, if you have pets, be cautious; corn plants are toxic to cats and dogs. Corn plants are part of the dracaena genus, which means they arenât demanding once their ideal growing conditions are met. Proper care will encourage your corn plant to flourish indoors. 
Hedera helix, simply ivy, or common ivy, English ivy,[2] European ivy, King's choice ivy, is a species of flowering plant in the family Araliaceae. It is native to most of Europe and parts of western Asia. Ivy is a clinging evergreen vine that grows on tree trunks, walls, and fences in gardens, waste spaces, and wild habitats. Ivy is common as an ornamental plant, but escaped plants become naturalised outside its native range. Ivy has considerable cultural significance and symbolism. 
English ivy 'Kolibri' is a variant of English ivy recognized for its resilience and minimal care requirements. Key care points for english ivy 'Kolibri' include moderate watering, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged, and placing the plant in an environment with partial to full shade.

Philodendron Brasil is a vibrant variety of the heart-leaf philodendron, known for its eye-catching lime-green variegation on deep green leaves. This vining houseplant thrives in bright, indirect light and does best with well-draining soil and moderate humidity.Native to the tropical rainforests of South America, philodendron Brasil grows best in warm, humid conditions. The plant does well indoors in typical household temperature and humidity levels, although providing it with extra humidity will encourage larger and more vigorous growth. While philodendron Brasil is not susceptible to any particular pests or diseases, keep an eye out for common houseplant pests. Regularly inspecting your plants for pests and proactive treatment is the key to preventing infestations. 
Alocasia silver dragon is a striking tropical plant known for its thick, textured leaves in shades of green and silver. To flourish, this plant requires conditions similar to its native rainforest environment, including dappled light, high humidity, and a well-drained, airy potting mix like orchid bark. It becomes dormant if temperatures drop below 55 degrees Fahrenheit and, like other types of Alocasia, is toxic to both people and pets. All types of Alocasia tend to be heavy feeders. Although silver dragons are a more compact variety, they'll still appreciate the application of a balanced liquid fertilizer every couple of weeks during their growing season in the spring and summer. They also appreciate calcium-rich nutrients like additions of bone meal. 
Rhipsalis pilocarpa is a cactus that grows as an epiphytic shrub with cylindrical, initially upright, later hanging stems that can grow up to 16 inches (40 cm) long. At the top, stems branch into whorls. The stems and branches are dark green, tinged red in full sun, and covered with white hairs growing from the areoles.

As part of the Philodendron genus, Pink Princess is related to a number of popular houseplants, including the incredibly popular Heartleaf Philodendron (Philodendron hederaceum). These plants fall under the Araceae or arum family, related to other leafy plants like Peace Lilies and Anthuriums. Pink Princess has exploded in popularity in recent years along with the rare houseplant craze sweeping social media. Houseplant parents have not only become urban jungle dwellers, but special houseplant collectors, making the rarer and more interesting plants incredibly sought-after. 
Syngonium albo is the common name for a variegated cultivar of arrowhead vine, a tropical species commonly kept as a houseplant. This cultivar is distinguished by and coveted for its vibrant white and green foliage. Syngonium albo thrives in bright, indirect light when potted in well-draining soil and provided with some sort of structure to climb. Syngonium albo is a fairly low-maintenance houseplant. The biggest challenges for this plant are providing the right light to maintain its notable variegation and getting the leaves to their mature shape via staking or other support.

Finished updating and adding all of my regular houseplants, now onto the terrariums! Idk how exactly I'll set up the 'about's yet. I'm probably simplifying it, at the very least include the names.
ALL of my plants are on here now btw, not just a few anymore. idk if I had a good or bad idea here. You know, in terms of updating... but since I'm not going to constantly update the cover I think its gonna be alright.

I already mentioned this in a couple plant backgrounds and my main blog but I've been switching to 90% semi hydro culture! (give it a read here.) All plants love it!! However I currently don't have long term results. But I do have 5 month results.
Walley is back! (philodendron brasil). Glad I still had the old pictures saved.
Birdy is gone (didn't die, but we have been downsizing on the standard orchid types. esp. pink). Maybe I'll put in another orchid on this page intead. There a few that aren't here.
Tim died from I assume bacteria or harmful fungus. Whole thing unsavable. Same for Willi. Plants killed within literal hours. RIP. I still have Tim's glass container and will reuse it for future projects. Willi however was in horribe shape, no cleaning fixed anything.
Giorgio didn't make it. RIP

Houseplants
My beloved houseplant collection page where I share and keep track of what's happening in their lifes. I've been into plants for many years now. It eventually escalated into an active hobby. I remade the whole page for maintenance reasons and I will no longer replace the cover images. The only exeception to this are huge recovery milestones. (because, sick plants are sad to look at, right?) meaning from now on any new updates are exclusively put inside the about buttons. Dead or gifted plants will be transfered into the Cemetery, their abouts removed and their last image kept as memory.
