Ethan and I are both the all-or-nothing type. So, just over a week ago when I said that I thought our living space could use a plant or two, we both took that as an excuse to start a full-on garden. No, seriously. 🙃 We are now the proud Plant Parents to 15 new plant friends. I love each and every one of them for their beauty, and the clean air and peace that they bring to our space. Plus, now I feel very needed. Owning plants is a super fun and rewarding hobby and community that I’m so glad to now be apart of.

Because I love sharing my life with you all, I thought you’d enjoy meeting our new plants one by one. These lovelies came from IKEA, Home Depot, Meijer, and English Gardens - but I’m sure you could find similar green friends in your own neighborhood, if plant parenting sounds interesting to you.

So, without further adieu, meet our new plant family -

“Vera” the croton

*Codiaeum Variegatum*

“Victoria” the Birds nest fern

*Asplenium Nidus*

Pteris Fern — “Tiny Tim” the Pteris fern

“Burt” the philodendron

“Mo’ Money” the Money Tree

*Pachira Aquatica*

“Yucky” the Yucca Plant

*Yucca Elephantipes*

“Bam” The Parlor Palm

*Chamaedorea Elegans*

“Sue” the Echeveria + “Dylan” the ASPARAGUS Fern

*Echeveria + Asparagus Aethiopicus*

Succulents — “Colin” the Succulent bowl

“Flopsy” the Podocarpus

Welcome home, little friends! I hope all of you enjoy your new living spaces as much as we enjoy watching you grow! ☘️🌿🍃🎍🌵🌳🌱

And to my human friends reading this - you’ll have to let me know if you all would like to see updates or care routines for these little friends. I’ve already become quite the dedicated Plant Mom and I’d be happy to share as I learn. Also, do you have plant friends in your home? Leave me a comment below - I’d love to know all about your plant family, too.
