Plants Everywhere…

A quick view of my Plant-happy Bedroom

Since I promised myself I would be blogging everyday and have clearly missed quite a few, I wanted to do a quick post of some pictures of my bedroom. I consider my bedroom to be a sanctuary, a haven, a place to get away from everything in the outside world. And ever since plants have been introduced to my life, I never ever want to leave my room. I spend 90% of my day here (and a good portion is dedicated to care of all these lovelies). If you haven’t introduced plants to your home I highly recommend doing so. It is a game changer for sure. Taking care of plants is meditation and gives you a purpose to get out of bed everyday even when you don’t want to. Not only do they take toxins out of the air but they are beautiful and create a relaxing atmosphere. The benefits of having plants indoors are endless. After I clean up for my guests arriving shortly I will be posting more about specific plants, how to care, which ones are easy, etc. So make sure to stay tuned for lots of good information that I wish someone had told me at the beginning of my plant journey.

PS. Once you start, you will never stop. It is for sure an addiction but hey, at least its a healthy one!

I have utilized some driftwood that I have been collecting and hung it from the ceiling to train some of my vines over it. Hopefully soon I will have a green canopy!

I installed some very simple shelves to that I could get more plants in the window area.

Plants Galore

Hello world! My name is Dare and I absolutely love plants! This obsession happened about 9 months ago and has yet to subside. Although there have always been a few plants in my house (mainly the usual and boring pothos), lately my heart has been attracted to more rare and oddly shaped plants. Until a few days ago there haven’t been any problems to speak of. But recently I noticed mealy bugs on one of my succulents and ended up having to get rid of it. While there is a lot of knowledge out there on the internet, I find myself looking at dozens and dozens of websites to find all the information I need on one specific thing. So I have decided to start a blog on my journey as a plant extraordinaire. The ups and downs, the growth and the dying, the benefits and the joys. Everything you could possibly think of I will include on my plant journey. What works for me and what doesn’t, along with the basic plant information you would need to get started with a haven of your own. And if no one ever reads this, well then at least there will be something for me to look back on and remember.
