Here is the first batch of herbs I planted on March 30, 2018. This photo was taken May… Continue reading Herb Seedling Potting

1st Attempt at Succulent Propagation

May 13, 2018May 13, 2018 Alyssa Dawn2 Comments

Happy Mother's Day! Coincidentally this Mother's Day I am going to post about making babies. Succulent babies! This will be my first time trying it out but I am hoping to propagate some succulents from succulent leaves. I had a couple of succulents that were a little moist when I got them and they never… Continue reading 1st Attempt at Succulent Propagation

Another Small Succulent Haul

Here we go again! I really am going to have to slow down on my succulent purchases for a while. I only have so much space and I am not sure how many herbs will grow and how much space they will need. I just could not resist these cuties though! Echeveria Lilacina (commonly know… Continue reading Another Small Succulent Haul

Hello! My name is Alyssa and I am starting an indoor garden focusing on herbs and succulents. I plan to learn through trial and error and document the whole process. I hope to inspire others who live in a small space or one without enough natural light to start the garden of their dreams.

The new leaves on my Hoya Carnosa are looking pink in time for #onwednesdaysweplantpink and #waxplantwednesday . It took them a while to start to form but now they are growing fast! I also have a couple new leaves starting on a second vine! So exciting! 🙌🏻💕
My Neon Pothos has been growing like crazy and I wanted to give him a little more space so I made a #macrameplanthanger over the weekend! I am pretty happy with how it turned out and I am itching to make more. 🙌🏻💕
Loving this beautiful new leaf on my Monstera Adansonii cuttings I am propagating. I am so happy to see this new growth because when I got these cuttings they had a little bit of roots so I planted them and hoped for the best. They were not happy. I ended up digging them up and water propagating them again. . The roots are looking pretty healthy so it is probably almost time to plant but I am a little nervous! I have read that some people slowly add soil to their water to get their cuttings used to the soil. Have you tried that? Does it help? 🤷🏻‍♀️💕
I wanted to show off my Monstera Adansonii’s propagation vessel. It is a glass that I brought with me when I moved out of my parents house. It was always my favourite growing up. Pretty sure it’s older than me. As an adult I didn’t want to drink out of it regularly because I was afraid it would brake. I am loving using it for propagation because it’s out of the cupboard and being appreciated but it’s also not getting moved around too much or thrown in the dishwasher. 😆💕 #themuppets
This is something that I find super cool. My Oxalis Triangularis reacts to the light! When it’s light out the leaves open up and when it’s dark they close like it this photo! 😆💕
Finally getting a little growth on my Hoya Carnosa! I am so excited! Can’t wait for her to be huge! 🙌🏻💕
