Welcome to my new space to to geek out and obsess over my plants.
I haven't even thought of using a blog in a long time. But with the purchase of a boathouse, and the upgrade of having a million times more space than a 32ft boat, a new obsession of mine has been released. House plants. House plants everywhere. It started out innocent enough, we had plants on the boat, we grew our own mint and basil for drinks, and I always filled the space with fresh flower, and there was a succulent or cacti brought home for me from the boyfriend, and a snake plant hidden somewhere. So I probably had about eight plants all together at the most, and I was totally content that the space was filled. And then we moved. And then there were so many empty spaces, and so much light, and so many possibilities.
I think some of our first roommates included my huuge fern, I have always wanted a massive fern. Ferns are the only thing for me that Alberta is lacking, and my favorite reason to be outside. All of the freaking BC ferns.
Then I remember there were two days in a row at work right before my birthday where I picked up a hanging plant on my lunch break and left it on the desk, then my birthday came and I was gifted another hanging basket. And a couple cacti and a palm from Ikea when we went bed shopping.
Then all of the sudden I have over 50 house plants. I blame this obsession to joining a bunch of Facebook plant groups that normalized having plants taking over rooms. If I see something I haven't seen before I need to have it, if leaves get broken off I need to see if I can propagate and grow a new one. This whole world of houseplants has been unleashed on me and I feel the need to document it.
I love checking back in and seeing the progress on how my plant has grown and how my indoor jungle is taking over.
