Corms
I got 5 corms from my first Monstero, no idea how to get them to grow so I put them in some coco coir, misted them and the coco coir, covered with plastic, put on the back porch. Now they have a leaf and moving toward the light!! Yeah!!!

Do you have an ideas how many grow lights I’m gonna have running. I have 4 Alocacia. Elephants ears? I’m gonna have to start putting them in more rooms.
Plants are growing with new leaves
I’m not wanting to brag but I got so excited this morning messing with my plants outside. My peace lily has a white bud, my Swiss cheese has new leaves and when I unwound it, there was a nice vine and I was wondering if I should cut it or let it roam?

There are so many people swearing by their soil recipes, it’s so hard to know which is right and it seems like this plant likes this soil, that plant likes that soil and watering, lighting preferences!! My head hurts but since mine are doing good and growing, my soil content seems to be working!

I’ve spent all of Sunday repairing my over watering issue! ZZ plant almost killed it, now my ginseng bonsai! Who knew these guys don’t need watering much or repotting. I got every plant on an IV DRIP, (just kidding). Then my arrowhead plant had roots coming out the bottom! This is like managing a daycare with rug rats
Baby Worms
I have baby worms - DoDoDoTaDoToDo I started an indoor worm composting bin in February. I love it and so far it is going great. I even found some of the baby worms when I was feeding them today. I know - I'm excited by the simplest things.

Plants That Bounce Back Fast After Winter (Even If They Look Rough Right Now)
If a few of your plants look a little… tired… That doesn’t mean they’re done. Some plants are incredible at bouncing back once light increases and watering adjusts. They may look rough in February, but give them a few weeks, and they surprise you. 🌿 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 These are your “don’t give up yet” plants: 𝐏𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐬 * Can lose leaves and still rebound * New growth appears quickly once light improves 𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐥𝐲 * Dramatic droopers * Often push strong new leaves in early spring 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭 * Tolerates dry air surprisingly well * Sends fresh shoots once days lengthen 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐧 * Slow in winter, steady in spring * Pruning encourages bushier recovery 🌱 𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐬 𝐚 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐈𝐬 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤 Look for: * Tiny growth buds * Firmer stems * Slower yellowing * Soil drying slightly faster Recovery starts before you see major change. 💚 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐬 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐅𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 * Improve light gradually * Trim damaged leaves * Adjust watering (not more—smarter) * Be patient for 2–4 weeks Most winter stress isn’t permanent. 🌼 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭: 𝐔𝐠𝐥𝐲 𝐅𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐃𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐭 𝐒𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 Plants that look rough right now often surprise you the most. Stay steady. Stay calm. Spring rewards consistency 🌱 Which plant are you hoping makes a comeback this spring? Drop its name below and we’ll cheer it on 👇

I thought I had a birds nest fern was doing well but somehow, someone (ME), put it in too large a hanging basket with too much dirt and it died! My neighbors is so lush and huge. I can’t relocate to my house, he’d notice
