✨Announcement✨ Xylem Rising with launch on Etsy exactly 4 weeks from today, on Monday, 11/11! 🌿🎉🎨 :: My shop will feature plant-themed home decor, from unique plant propagation wall hangings and mobiles, botanical art prints, and crafty succulent planters and kokedamas. I also have a very special project in the works... a plant-themed oracle deck! 🔮🌱✨ :: The plant propagation dreamcatcher-macrame wall piece featured here is on the upscale end of my size/price spectrum. I will offer a full range of styles, from small to large and everything in between. My goal is to have something for everyone and not price anyone out. :: Mark your calendars! 11/11, Xylem Rising goes Etsy live! 🔥💫🌟 :: #xylemrising #handcrafted #plantpropagation #dreamcatcher #macrame #bohodecor #planthomedecor #waterpropagation #cristieraelinkiley #handmadebusiness #creative #creatives #supportthemakers #smallbusiness #goodvibesonly #plantvibes #bohemiandecor #xylemrisingart #etsycreator #plantsandcrafts #craftyplants
My String of Hearts is flowering and the shape of the blooms is so unique! They look slightly carnivorous, much like a Pitcher Plant’s modified leaf. Apparently, they are! The downward-pointing hairs at the top of the flower trap flies that are attracted to the scent. Until the hairs wither away, the fly is prevented from leaving. Once it does, it is covered in pollen and will bring it to the next flower it visits. 🦟🌸🌱✨ :: #stringofhearts #stringofheartsplant #ceropegiawoodii #ceropegia #plantgoals #plantparenthood #houseplants #houseplantobsessed #houseplantsofinstagram #houseplantcommunity #iloveplants #plantobsessed #plantenthusiast #plantnerd #herefortheplants #plants #plantsareeverything #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantsofinstagram #plantpink :: Photo Cred: Yours Truly, @xylemrising Please tag the source if you repost.
Since my avocado propagation experiment was so successful, I tried the same with mangoes as well! They sprouted! 🌱🥭🙌🏻✨ :: If anyone is interested in learning how to germinate avocado or mango seeds, DM me and I’ll send you my blog link! :: #mangofromseed #mangoseed #mangoplant #grafting #fruitgrafting #graftedfruittrees #plantnerd #mangotree #mangopropagation #grownfromseed #fruitpropagation #ladygardener #growyourown #propagationnation #propagationexperiment #propagated #propagate :: Photo Cred: Yours Truly, @xylemrising Please tag the source if you repost.
‘Moonstone Ascension’, watercolor, 2019, CRK.🌵🎨🙏🏻✨ (Post 2 of 2) :: Upper half, as promised. Be sure to check out my feed for the bottom half of this watercolor painting, as well as to see how the two halves fit together! 🎨✨ :: This painting as a whole will be available for purchase as an archival print. Etsy shop launching in November! Stay tuned for a date! :: I love the top part of this unalome. As the Pachyphytum oviferum (a.k.a. “Moonstones”) flowers, so does the individual on this path. :: A 𝒖𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒐𝒎𝒆 is a Buddhist symbol that signifies the path to enlightenment. The swirling lines symbolize our many ups & downs and twists & turns throughout life. We may waver from time to time, but we always return to our same goal, which is to align with our greater purpose and foster a sense of love, happiness, and truth. 🦋🙏🏻✨ :: I chose to place The Flower of Life at the center of the unalome because it is an ancient symbol containing the code of all living things. As we each walk our own individual paths, may The Flower of Life be a visual representation that we are all connected. #thefloweroflife :: #plantart #succulentart #plantpainting #succulentpainting #succulentwatercolor #unalome #unalomesymbol #unalomemeaning #unalomes #unalomepainting #sacredgeometry #enlightenment #spiritualawakening #ancientsymbols #spiritualsymbols #metallicwatercolor #sacredgeometrypainting #sacredgeometryart #xylemrising #xylemrisingart #cristieraelinkiley #plantspiritmedicine #floweroflifesymbol #floweroflife #sacredgeometrywatercolor #floweroflifewatercolor #pachyphytumoviferum #pachyphytummoonstones #moonstonesucculent

‘Moonstone Ascension’, watercolor, 2019, CRK.🌵🎨🙏🏻✨ (Post 1 of 2) :: In addition to crafty plant propagation pieces, my online shop will feature handpainted plant-themed archival prints! Here’s a sneak peak of a new watercolor painting I just finished! :: It’s a flowering succulent (Pachyphytum oviferum, a.k.a. “Moonstones”) with a fragment of The Flower of Life. To top it off, there is a 𝒖𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒐𝒎𝒆 woven through the sacred geometry. I will post the top half shortly! :: A 𝒖𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒐𝒎𝒆 is a Buddhist symbol that signifies the path to enlightenment.

I love the bright orange tones of my Sedum nussbaumerianum, a.k.a. Coppertone Stonecrop. 🍊🌵✨ :: I’m designing a new product for my upcoming plant decor shop, and it involves chakras and succulents! I’ll definitely be using this variety for the Sacral Chakra, or second chakra, located in the lower abdomen. Orange governs this chakra, the subtle energy life force of creativity, emotions, career, and relationships.🧘‍♀️👌🏻🧡 :: #sedumnussbaumerianum #sedum #coppertonestonecrop #orangesucculent #orangeplants #plantnerd #plantlover #plantobsessed #plantobsession #plantsofinstagram #fortheloveofplants #plantsarelife #plantpassion #plantsareeverything #iloveplants #liveforplants #plantsarecool #thatplantlife #succulentsofinstagram #succulentsanonymous #sacralchakra #plantsandspirituality #xylemrising #plantspiritmedicine :: Photo Cred: Yours Truly, @xylemrising Please tag the source if you repost.

Tons of new growth on my prima donna Rattlesnake Plant! 🌿🐍✨ :: This is exciting because this plant hasn’t grown much since I got it. I’ve had some challenging times with it, since Calatheas are more demanding than most. I don’t really have the right spot for it, but I think I’ve found the best spot due to my limited light circumstances. It needs bright but not direct light (tolerant of low light), relatively warm conditions, and high humidity. :: Keep it moist. Water before it dries out completely. Don’t let it experience temperatures under 60 degrees. Keep it in medium bright but indirect light (morning sun is fine). An east facing window would be perfect. Mine is in a pretty shady spot, and it would likely grow must faster in more light, but all my sunnier spots would burn the leaves. The leaves can also crisp up from cold drafts. :: Total diva queen, but gotta love her! 👸🏼🌿💚 :: #calathea #calathealancifolia #marantaceae #rattlesnakeplant #plantnerd #plantlover #plantobsessed #plantobsession #plantsofinstagram #fortheloveofplants #plantpassion #iloveplants #plantlove #liveforplants #houseplantsofinstagram #plantparenthood #planthoarder #plantgoals #plantporn #plantaddict #plantsagram #plantsarefriends :: Photo Cred: Yours Truly, @xylemrising Please tag the source if you repost.
I think this plant propagation mobile is my favorite one that I’ve made so far! The floral embroidered lace is stunning! I am going to be incredibly jealous of whoever ends up buying this! Haha!... in the best way possible. ❤️✨ :: That’s been a personal goal of mine when creating my handmade plant decor goods. My standard is that I have to absolutely, 100% love a particular piece, to the point that if I saw it in a store (but it wasn’t my work), I would stop dead in my tracks and have to have it. If it’s anything less than that, I rework the design until it’s there. And this piece sings to me! 🌱🎼🧶 :: Etsy Shop in the works! :: Note: All animal materials used in my work are sourced ethically. The bones and feathers are either found, thrifted, or gifted. I do not support hunting for sport, recreation, or profit. When I buy my supplies from small online retailers, I always make sure they are cruelty-free. :: #xylemrising #handcrafted #plantpropagation #dreamcatcher #macrame #bohodecor #planthomedecor #waterpropagation #cristieraelinkiley #handmadebusiness #creative #creatives #supportthemakers #smallbusiness #goodvibesonly #plantvibes #bohemiandecor #xylemrisingart
I’m not well-versed in orchids, but I’ve been caring for this Dendrobium kingianum seemingly well. It hasn’t flowered for me yet, but I haven’t had it for too long. It was given to me after its flowering cycle. I have it growing in orchid bark and it’s topped with sphagnum moss. :: Fingers crossed I see those pink blooms soon!🤞🏻🌸🌱 :: #dendrobium #dendrobiumorchids #dendrobiumkingianum #pinkrockorchid #rockorchid #orchid #orchids #plantgoals #plantparenthood #houseplantobsessed #houseplantsofinstagram #houseplantcommunity #iloveplants #plantobsessed #plantenthusiast #plantnerd #herefortheplants #plantsareeverything #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantsofinstagram :: Photo Cred: Yours Truly, @xylemrising Please tag the source if you repost.
