How's everyone doing?

I removed all the plants from the windowsills so as to clean the shelves and after setting most of them on the table, I realised I'd not updated the blog in a while and that this was a perfect opportunity.
I've had a few new additions to the family, including a beautiful maranta. Next on the list is a fly trap as this weather sure is attracted loads of the pesky critters and I'd rather do it humanely and add to my collection in the process!

Hellooo new maranta!

Babies on their freshly polished shelf 

Mini terrerium progress!

Also, I know a fair few of them are due an upgraded pot as they're getting too big! This cactus however has me stumped..he keeps pulling off his arms! I'm hoping he is just trying to propagate, any expert advice? For now I'm adding a lot of the propagated babies to the terrarium for incubating under the watchful eye of Yoda and r2d2.

Pre-cleaning the shelves. What's going on with this guy?

Plenty of new leaves from my beautiful monstera!

Good morning everyone!
So today I'm sharing this picture as I decided to re-home a few of my smaller plants today and figured I'd put a few of them together in a larger pot so they can stretch out a bit. As you can see, one of them is in dire need of some TLC as he's going brown. I removed him from the terrarium where all the other plants are really striving but he unfortunately isn't. Hopefully this pot with some fresh soil will do him a bit of good. He did used to be happier, even flowered once! Although the flower didn't open and just shrivelled up, at least he tried. I'd love to see some pink star shaped flowers from the sempervivum this summer. Did you know the term arachnoid is used in botany to describe something cobweb like in appearance? Pretty cool huh? The sempervivum had a load of brown papery leaves at the bottom that I pulled off too, they're all in plant pot hospital really. The top left one wasn't getting enough light hence the stretched out neck. We'll see how they get on at the plant hospital and I'll keep you updated. Have a great week all!
