Your Silver Ann really pops the silver though!

I'll take a closer look at what I have tomorrow.

Heck, last phone died and I spent a sh****n of money on a new one and figure the camera should be much better:)

Me too:)

Today was my Monday, way too busy, but hopefully this weekend.

Buying the phone was a two store and three hour nightmare, lost all my contacts.

New phone was expensive but SO much faster and hopefully a complete camera upgrade.

I'll see if I have time to start with my 2 Exotica and 2 Silvery Ann.

And my 2 Brasil.

All are mother/cutting plants.

"Anarchic/chaotic plant" is a great description!

I've given up on Syngonium as a potted plant. They always morph into adult form and lose their charm. Just like kittens. LOL!

Maybe you can prevent that by doing the opposite - don't give it a trellis and trim any vines that look like they're threatening to morph.

Smiling I love everyone's vine photosโ€”they're all beautiful! My vines collection outgrew the windowsill, so I placed two plant stands on it and voila! Room for more Hoyas and orchids! Also, a Brazil centers the table, and two plants my mom called "Swiss Cheeses" grace the fireplace. Thank you for giving us space to showcase some vines! Smiling

Hi Janie ,
your plant stands are great ! This is a inspiration for me , because

and then my window sills will be terribly cramped Thinking
Your plants are beautiful and I love the black plant support ( I don't know what that's called )
I don't find moss or bamboo sticks that beautiful and am therefore always on the lookout for prettier alternatives
Swiss Cheese / Monkey leaves are fun , they grow super quick , don't they ?

Thank you for the compliment, Tiffany!

Rena, in the photo you refer to, the plant at the very top is a Hoyaโ€”"Krimson Princess; "the one a little lower to the right is an orchidโ€”a B.nodosa that I hope will bloom one day!
In the middle between the two planters, at the very top is a "Speckled Hoya."
The black plant support is a small trellis I found on Amazon. Not very expensiveโ€”they come in twosโ€”and I liked them so much I ended up buying another set!

Aeschynanthus somehow survive with me, but they're not doing really well. They always seem tired and stressed . Too much water, too little light? Thinking

You're welcome, Janie!

Rena, I think your Aeschynanthus looks very good! Those clips/hooks look very cool. I can imagine using them for lucky bamboo too, like to make it zig-zag or "s" curve up a wall. D. marginata could be used for that too. Very flexible stems.

Keep an eye on Pothos along a wall. The roots can realize there's something there and grow a root that sticks so well to the wall that it leaves a mark on the wall when pulled off. As long as you notice it, you can clip the root off.

It's so fun to do though. I have a long vine in my office that I'm thinking about running around the top of the wall.

Thanks for the warning , Tiffany !
I always take the plant down to water , this will allow me to control it .
But honestly, our walls don't look immaculate anyway *Blush*
We would urgently need to renovate if it weren't such a hassle Rolling my eyes. Big Grin
