Do you have household plants in your home?

i keep a few houseplants and herbs and veggies growing year 'round.
it just makes me happy to have a few extra things helping out with my personal environment.

I have 2 African violets, 1 spider plant, 1 philodendron,1 shamrock plant, 2 difenbacias,1 Jack in the Pulpit and a planter from my daughter's funeral that has 3-4 different plants in it.
This doesn't include the rosemary, chives, basil, mint, and parsley that are growing in the bay window

I have 3 huge peace lilies in different rooms of my house. I think that I am going to have to start splitting them up here soon.

I have 3, I just bought recently at the dollar store. The leaves look like a african violet but the flowers don't. You have to handle then tender like.

Then I have 2 hanging ones. The one is a HUGE plant, this will be the 3rd summer we have had it. I made it into a house plant. It was just supposed to be a summer plant for the deck.

I have one other one that so far is just leaves and not that big yet.
And one old one that is a vine that I am going to re-pot when the weather gets better.

I hope to put together some cheap type hanging plants for our deck this spring. I really don't want to spend big bucks on any new ones.

Last summer we put in quite a few in the yard that I hope to see back this spring. A lot of iris ones. I got quite a deal.

I only have one big Christmas Cactus. I hope it survives another few years. I really like it, but I don't think I do a really great job of taking care of it. I think I need to transplant it to a bigger container.

I have plants everywhere, and scads of them.My oldest are snake plants that came from cuttings belonging to my great grandmother, dates back over 100 years.I have fern cuttings from one my grandmother purchased when she was 18 years old-back in 1918.I have a green thumb.

Lets see I have----
2 violets
3 orchids
2 spider plants
1 geranium
1 oregano
1 chive
1 aloe
2 ivies
1 angel wing begonia
2 gold dust
1 painted calathea
2 christmas cactus

Yep that is 19 plants----I never realized I had that many. Some I bought for .50 at Lowe's that they were going to throw out. I have brought them back to life. My orchids I got at Lowe's and they were marked down to $2.00. I did get them to rebloom. As you can tell I just love flowers.

Currently I have two but plan on picking up more in the future.

I have a lucky bamboo plant that hasn't been living up to it's name. I am thinking of making it an "outdoor" plant - in other words, it will go outside for the summer and not be allowed to come back in the fall (and die).

I have a plant-eating cat so I can't have many live plants around here. He even chews on the fake ones and he thinks all flowers are edible.

I used to have several but when we moved 8 years ago I gave them to our neighbor lady who lives in her garden. We just don't have room here for what I want but once we find land and build our house it will be full of plants.

I have about 30+ silk plants all over the house. I couldn't grow anything if my life depended on it. Let's hope dh can if we ever have to plant a garden. No live plants though but I do love plants and flowers.

**kittykatstrong** · 11-14-2009, 03:15 PM

I cant keep plants alive. It is to bad because I really like being around them.

**craftypam** · 11-14-2009, 07:21 PM

Love plants and have plenty of them. Much to dh's dismay Detroit farmers market sells them for $1.50. They are sooo big. I love jade, but keep on killing them and trying again. Not too bad to replace when they are $1.50. I am really good with plants except those that need to be watered little. I did find out about a year ago that because of being afraid to overwater the jade, I was underwatering it. I also have Christmas cactus in my bay window that are blooming right now and I love them.

**HisDaisy** · 11-14-2009, 08:28 PM

Right now I have about 8 houseplants: 2 African violets, a jade, a Christmas cactus, easter cactus (?), a spider plant, a fish hook plant, and 2 bamboo plants.
I am terrible with plants. I have killed so many of them. My violets are in self watering pots so they do ok. The spider plant is nearly unkillable (I have tried- LOL.). I even killed an aloe plant.

**calimomx2** · 11-14-2009, 11:14 PM

I have 1! It is a spider plant and I've had it for 10 years, it was a gift from my Mom who has a bazillion plants in her home. Plants and I don't always do well but so far so good with this one!
