Hello GPODers!
Thus far this season we’ve loved an assortment of great indoor greenery from Barbara in Massachusetts and Leni in Ontario, Canada. Now we’re off to Eden Prairie, Minnesota (Zone 4b/5a), for a tour of Jen Furan’s assortment. We have been first launched to Jen’s Midwest backyard again in August of final yr (Jennifer’s New Gardening Journey in Minnesota), however we had no concept that she was hiding all of those treasures indoors.
Residing within the chilly northern state of Minnesota, as soon as I acquired bit by the gardening bug a pair years in the past it resulted in needing to be surrounded by inexperienced within the winter months, too. What started as a couple of vegetation, admittedly that I needed to exchange regularly on account of my studying curve, has ballooned into an outright obsession. Among the vegetation nonetheless turn out to be my victims on occasion, however I’d wish to assume that’s extra on them than me. Hope you get pleasure from a few of my indoor vegetation.
A hand-me-down leather-top desk most likely isn’t the very best plant desk, however that’s what my mother additionally used it for. That is an japanese window in my kitchen and eating room space. I’ve hung a develop mild from the ceiling to maintain the vegetation completely happy. These vegetation embody a couple of hoyas (‘Royal Hawaiian’ hoya [Hoya pubicalyx ‘Royal Hawaiian Purple’] is behind the carnivorous butterwort), air vegetation, a pink crown of thorns (Euphorbia milii, Zones 9–11), and an orange spider plant (Chlorophytum ‘Hearth Flash’, Zones 11–12) I’ve introduced again from the brink of demise in a cute, regionally sourced cachepot.
My contact of inexperienced atop a tall bookcase, the place a rattlesnake calathea (Goeppertia insignis, Zones 11–12) and wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens, Zones 3–7) just do tremendous. Sitting guard is a gnome and a pink mushroom I made at a category held by a neighborhood pottery store.
My obsession even resulted in me refinishing this outdated bookcase; paint, stencils, and a few develop lights turned this right into a “plantcase” as an alternative.
My workplace has a set of vegetation on my desk and printer cupboard. From left to proper: ‘Futura Robusta’ snake plant (Sansevieria trifasciata ‘Futura Robusta’, Zones 10–12), ‘Chameleon’ ZZ plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia ‘Chameleon’, Zones 9–10), ‘Needs’ aglaonema (Aglaonema ‘Needs’, Zones 10–12), and a medley of various pothos
The pothos (Epipremnum aureum, Zones 10–12) medley contains epipremnum varieties ‘Snow Queen’, ‘Neon’, ‘Cebu Blue’, and ‘Manjula’.
That is the western window of my workplace, the place within the winter months my crown of thorns and butterworts need assistance with some further develop lights. I even needed to get a secondhand desk simply to make room for extra vegetation.
I’ve turn out to be a bit enamored with hoyas. ‘Lisa’ hoya (Hoya australis ‘Lisa’, Zones 10–11) on the left and two ‘Tremendous Silver’ hoya (Hoya krohniana ‘Eskimo’, Zones 10–11) that I acquired as small cuttings have finished effectively on this west-facing window.
Zebra haworthia (Haworthia attenuata, Zones 9–11) and ‘Quito’ peperomia (Peperomia caperata ‘Quito’, Zones 11–12) brighten the workplace nook, with what has turn out to be a wooden carving of a becoming houseplant motto for me— start once more.
This paphiopedilum hybrid Venus slipper with variegated leaves is a more recent addition that I can’t cease observing. It has been completely happy in an japanese window of my lounge.
My Hoya walliniana (Zones 11–12) in a western window of my lounge has been blooming profusely since I introduced it dwelling, with a pair extra on the point of open.
