Just about five years ago I started getting houseplants and quickly found some that were easy to propogate and wanted to share some of my plant pictures!

Above you can see me transplanting snake plant babies! I picked up some No More Gnats soil, especially since these are houseplants! I share all about my favorite nontoxic gnat solution in this post. I also picked up these reusable peat pots for starters and BioGranules that are essentially probiotics for plants and like to adding a few granules to each pot.
Some houseplants I've had include:
Calladium
Peace Lily
Jade Plant
Monstera (aka split leaf philodendron)
Snake plant
Angel Wing Begonia
Aloe Vera
Fiddleleaf Fig
Tradescantia albiflora
These plants in the laundry room get lots of sun and do really well! From left to right, Angel Wing Begonia, Aloe Vera, Jade Plant.

The Angel Wing Begonia is a little leggy and has come a long way from the frozen starter it was when I received it!

This Calladium started as a houseplant and really thrived when I put it outside - look how beautiful! In the background you can see our kayaks being moved for cleaning. Read all about those adventures here.

This Peace Lily is the ultimate survivor - from moves to extended travel, it's still blooming, praise the Lord! Pictured with my coffee, see how I'm making it nowadays.
Three years later, this one is still surviving, but hasn't grown too much more, really!

Here's the Monstera before I transplanted it and propagated three babies from it! Another hearty one, but I need to learn more on how to tame it/make it wind up and grow around like it does in the wild! Fashion: Costco Jeans spotted.
Picked up this Tradescantia albiflora or pink striped Wandering Jew at the farmers market. I feel like it's growth got stunted somehow, but it's really beautiful!

I got a few of the succulents you see here from Costco, too! One of the three didn't make it pretty much immediately. Three years later, I still have one of them.
And of course, although in the house but not really a houseplant is my yearly farmer's market eucalyptus pick (from the farm we pick flowers at) with my favorite face exfoliator!

What are your favorite houseplants? Be sure to tell me in the comments and see me watering mine and snapping pics with my coffee mug (lol) in my stories!
