I like the natural green plants!!!
Thank you so much! Something about green plants make me feel happy and peaceful. I’m awful at growing flowers, so I’ve given up on that. Right now I’m focusing on these plants and hoping they grow taller and bigger.
I don’t have fish tank, but for flower gardens, I like perennials instead of annuals. The green is beautiful and some also have flowers. I’d be happy with just green, like Hostas & ground cover! ☺️🌱
Ack, I do not know the difference between perennials and annuals. I hear those terms a lot but get confused. I should really look into it.
Ground covers are also pretty and seem easy to grow.
Annuals are just flowers that last the season: like impatiens, pansy’s, marigolds, etc. Perennials come back each year and usually have a lot more green, but can also have flowers: black eyed Susan’s, daisy’s, hostas, bleeding heart, etc. They are sturdier of course. I love ground covers, and boy do they spread! Bulbs are what I don’t have a lot of luck with…one time I planted them upside down Lolol! 🤣
Thank you for the helpful information about perennials and annuals! Black-eyed Susan flowers are cheerful and grow tall vines.
You’re not the only one to plant bulbs backwards! We have something in common. I also planted green onions upside down.
I hope Mr. Catfish remembered the sunscreen!
How cute, it looks happy among the plants!
Those are the Pothos’ leaves from our plant. Since they’re swamp plants, they work well in the aquarium too.
Oh I see, they look really lovely.
I am like obsessed with Pothos plant because it’s the first houseplant that hasn’t dropped dead on me. lol
Lol mine always drop dead so I know the feeling.
It’s disheartening when they start to wilt and then turn brown. Lol. Try Pothos or aloe. May boost planting ego
I’ll try aloe since I love the way the plant looks. That may make me feel better lol.
You’ll surprise yourself! Go for it. 🙂 Also, when the aloe plant grows tall, it grows small aloe leaves, called pups, on the sides. You could break them off and propagate them in new soil. I did this a few times and have been successful.
Ooh interesting, I didn’t know that.
I propagated a few aloe pups too, and they’re really hardy to grow, able to withstand some errors. Seeing the pups grow is the best part of growing aloe.
Aw that sounds lovely. I’m excited to try growing an aloe plant myself.
Let me know if you do!
I definitely will!
