My Drosera capensis is happier than ever! It has been devouring gnats all year, and it totally took over the Venus Flytrap pot itโs in.
::
Itโs been flowering for the last two months!
Who else has a Sundew?

I just added this gem to my Etsy shop, along with two other pieces! I make plant-themed home decor, and I have a growing line of plant propagation macrame hangers. ๐งถ๐ฟโจ
::
Click the link in my bio to view this particular piece in detail, as well as see the other new ones! And if you havenโt been to my shop yet, it would mean a lot to me if you took a minute to check it out! I have a wide range of prices, from extremely affordable to upscale (think Anthropologie). My prices are fair, but they also reflect the amount of care, dedication, and time that goes into my work.

Thank you for your support, your follows, your comments, your mentions, and your likes. I love you, IG plant fam! ๐ฟ๐โจ

I will be adding three new plant propagation decor items to my Etsy shop on ๐๐ก๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฌ๐๐๐ฒ @ ๐๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐๐! I canโt wait to share what I have in store for you! I used this stunning eco-friendly cotton fiber by @ganxxet. The texture is pure gold. ๐งถ๐๐ป

What more could a plant enthusiast want than to propagate their plant cuttings in style?! This shop update will include an intricately laced driftwood wall hanging adorned with boho beading (pictured) and a vintage colored glass bottle for water propagation. Iโll leave the other two pieces a mystery. Stay tuned!

Remember, be gentle with yourself.
Practice self-love daily.
.
โEverything in the Universe is working out, just as it should, always.โ - my personal mantra
.
Everything is meant to be and all outcomes are for your greatest good, even if they seem challenging or negative at the time. Everything is a growth opportunity. There is a light side to every bit of darkness. Like a plant, have patience.
.
And so it is. โจ

I got my green thumbs on a Mother of Thousands! These arenโt super rare, but not your average nursery is going to carry them! This is the most popular variety known as Kalanchoe 'Houghtoniiโ, a hybrid between Kalanchoe daigremontiiana and Kalanchoe delagoensis.

This โSunday Speciesโ features the lovely String of Pearls, or Curio rowleyanus (formerly Senecio rowleyanus).
::
Click the โจlink in my bioโจ to read about species care and propagation tips on this beauty.
::
Did you know the spherical leaves on String of Pearls have dark green translucent bands on the sides called epidermal windows? These epidermal windows help more light in, increasing the surface area of plant tissue available for photosynthesis. โ๏ธ๐ฟ
::
String of Pearls is incredibly drought- and cold-tolerant, but it is not heat-tolerant. It does not like full sun. It thrives in part shade, and it will tolerate very low light.
