January 2020

Terrarium number two featuring Gigi and a sleepy cat.


This guy is doing very well indeed!

Pilea baby from a cutting from my bigger plant below.

Tall boy needs an upgrade soon! Sorry yellow turtle.

Better picture of the pilea without showing the yellow leaf.

Got this ashy cutie from a plant swap.

Monstera is so big now but not the healthiest she's been unfortunately and I have cut off four leaves, still some are going yellow and I've got a massive pot, tried coffee and new fertiliser. Maybe she's just unhappy.

Some of you may remember this tall guy?

Santa is now sideways.

Another success story, this beautiful jade. This was our "Christmas tree" last year. Must remember to take decorations down ...

Fairly new but doing well.

Mr stabby hasn't changed much

This guy is doing ok to say he's stuck in the bathroom.

Cute air plant from my mum is doing well in the bathroom too.

Here's the massive pilea that's had loads of cuttings.

It's been a while!

Hello friends, I've finally had time to do some repotting today and check on all of the plants. Some of them were in a real bad state due to over watering and I lost my big aloe and a large cactus.
Thankfully all the others are more resilient. We have had a new addition to the family, a fluffy one! Everyone meet Kiki!



She's a feisty little girl with a need for playing and attention. Luckily she's not been too mean to the plants apart from a few leaves knocked off the jade and pilea.
Here's an update on the plants anyway!


Small Palm, nothing much has changed

This is the second Larry plant I've propagated

Chunky yucca is a new addition that replaced a Christmas gift from my fiance that died days after getting it from a crappy plant shop run by unprofessional people. I do love the pot though.

Maranta was completely water logged,I don't know how she is still alive! A repot in my favourite jug for her.

This pilea started small but is doing so well now.

Lovely cactus still healthy and living her best life.

This little jade has stretched a lot, I've added a few pups from another plant in there to keep her company.

Chain of hearts.. Will it ever do something?? Who knows. 

Monstera leaf I reported.

Everyone healthy.

Happy healthy friends.

Good growth.

I've had to leave him to do his own thing, he's gone very wild!

These were pups from a bigger echeveria that died from overwatering.

This is more of a propagation garden now for things that have fallen off etc.

Another lovely gifted plant.

This beautiful plant gifted us four pups and there's a few more on her that are still very small.

Jade doing fantastically.

Same as ever

Christmas cactus finally lost her flowers.

Santa looking good.

Monstera taking over!!

Hardly any room for this one.

Lots of fresh new growth here.

We're gonna need a bigger pot!

Hi everyone. This week me and Nathan have been busy with the plants, he's what we've done:

I made this beautiful landscape garden with a few of our propagated babies and some little tourist figures.

I'm so impressed with Nathan's repotting of the jade in this cement pot with added No Face figure. Gives a really spiritual vibe.

This cactus was picked up on a grocery shop on Abbeydale road, the pot in a neighborhood charity shop, total cost just under £5

Had a re-home of some of the plants from all the terreriums due to growth and Nathan breaking the globe one accidently.

A couple from the globe aquarium, echeveria with her babies and a zebra variety with a cute cat.

Another from the globe, looks other worldly I thought, complete with r2d2.

Poor Larry, one of his stems got too heavy and was about to break so I trimmed each node down and repotted to make a new plant! This is him sans broken stem.

Maranta stretching out with a new pot.

We picked up a couple of cute pots from a charity shop for 50p each so the last of the terrarium plants went in them.

Another like the above

The Larry new Bush made with that one stems cuttings

Three big ones together
