Hello! I have been stopping in this forum for a while just reading up on threads that caught my eye and drooling over some of the beautiful houseplants some of you have. Although I have been a (rather obsessed) gardener for many years my focus has always been outdoors. The neglect has invariably led to the demise of many house plants over the years except for the old reliable Pothos. It seems to be one of the few plants that survives neglect and the environmental hazards of rehabbing multiple properties over the years. Every winter though I go bonkers without having plants to putter with so I made a commitment to turn over a new leaf.
I also like puns! Right now I have a couple of large Potho's that I have had to do baby back to health after a summer of total chaos, moving and rehabbing the new house while getting the old one ready for market (miles away), a wedding to plan and my little grandson spending lots of time with grandma. I also have a rather large Aloe Vera, Sansaveria(?) and a sickly looking string of pearls that I am going to have to figure out some urgent care for. My partners in crime are my old Basset hound and two old cats that are really annoyed with me taking up their window sill spots for plants. Thanks to the enabling going on in this forum
I now have a couple of African violets, a lipstick vine, and a baby spider plant. I suspect I will be returning to this forum quite often.
