Just two days away! 🌿🎉✨ :: #supportthemakers #shopsmall #etsyshop #etsycreator #plantdecor #homemade #handmade #handcrafted #plantart
Hello my fellow plant nerds! I’ve been MIA for a few weeks, but I just wanted to check in and let you know that my plants and I are still here growing and thriving! I’ve also been quiet on the blog, but I’ve been focused on getting prepared for my Etsy shop launch (still on for 11/11!). Also, I just went through a crazy wildfire apocalypse. 🔥 :: I was under a mandatory evacuation for 2 days and with no power after that for 3 days. The #kincadefire blew through my region here in Northern California and it was certainly too close for comfort. In my heart, I knew everything would be fine, but it was still scary to flee my home, leaving most of my belongings and all my plants behind. Thankfully, our firefighters and first responders did a fantastic job controlling the blaze. At its peak, there were over 5,000 personnel on the scene. The wildfire burned almost 78,000 acres and my county evacuated more than 180,000 people. It was a rough time for my community, but we are forever #sonomastrong. As of yesterday, the fire is now 100% contained, 2 weeks after its onslaught. 🙏🏻✨ :: My heart goes out to those directly affected. I may have lost a week’s worth of work, but I still have my home to come back to. I’m one of the lucky ones. My workplace still stands. And my cats and plants are still alive. I am thankful for my friends who invited us into their home at the last minute. There is so much to be grateful for. :: Pictured here is the beautiful bloom of my Cotyledon orbiculata ‘Hakubi’, a.k.a. Pig’s Ears. 🌵🐷✨ :: #cotyledon #cotyledonorbiculata #cotyledonorbiculatahakubi #cotyledonhakubi #floweringsucculent #pigsearssucculent #pigsearsucculent #succulentlovers #succulentsofinstagram #succulentflowers
Aloe arborescens, a.k.a. “Torch Aloe” or “Candelabra Aloe”, glowing in the afternoon light.🌵🌟 :: I’ve noticed “arborescens” come up in a lot of plant species names. It means tree-like. In this Aloe’s case, it can also refer to a “stem-forming” growing habit. :: #aloe #aloearborescens #torchaloe #candelabraaloe #plantnerd #arborescens #plantlover #plantobsessed #plantobsession #plantsofinstagram #fortheloveofplants #plantsarelife #plantpassion #plantsareeverything #iloveplants #liveforplants #plantsarecool #thatplantlife #succulentsofinstagram #succulentsanonymous #succulentsaturday :: Photo Cred: Yours Truly, @xylemrising Please tag the source if you repost.
✨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.

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
What a darling new leaf on my Begonia ‘Corralina de Lucerna’.

‘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.

The sun was hitting just right on my lovely new Cotyledon orbiculata ‘Hakubi’, a.k.a. Pig’s Ears. 🌵🐷✨ :: I love the early evenings spent propagating succulents in the greenhouse after work.
