My Christmas cactus is hanging by a thread, but I have a planter from Sam’s Cub that is 2 years old that is doing great. It’s a mix of different ivy. It originally had a poinsettia in the center, but that died. The rest is great.
I have an orchid that seems very happy. I’m hoping to coax a second bloom out of it. We live in a warm climate, so almost everything can be outside most of the time.
Rosemary, basil, a 2-year-old ornamental kale (how long do they live anyway?*), and something that looks like privet that sprouted in the kale pot all share the kitchen windowsill. A poinsettia graces the dining table.
*ETA: two years, except tree kale, which lives longer but rarely blooms. This one looks kind of treeish, and has never bloomed, so...who knows?
These could all go outside, but would promptly be eaten by javalinas, rabbits, or squirrels.
All I have at my house is a spider plant that was grown from spiderettes that I received from a fellow Freecycler, a pilea (Chinese money plant), and a random flowering plant that's currently *not* flowering that I bought at Aldi at Easter last year.
The spider plant had its first "babies" last year, so it must be happy in its spot in the house. I'm waiting for the pilea to have "pups" so I can propagate a few more of them to scatter in pots around my home.
