Sometimes, disappearing is the only way to heal. After two weeks away grieving another loss in the family, I did what I do best: I got lost in my plants.

With Wilson by my side, I gave my green family a glow-up with new lights and shelving. Plants are such a powerful reminder to slow down. They don’t rush; they just grow. All they ask for is a little consistency to thrive, just like us. 🐾✨

I may have also added several new plants to my collection 😆

Take this as your sign to breathe, nurture yourself, and let the growth happen at its own pace…

So if you were curious where I disappeared to… I was just being a Plantrovert

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, which plant in your collection brings you the most peace right now? For me, it was setting up these new lights for the fam.and give the plant hall a fresh look for spring 🤗

Another day we woke up to more snow here in New Hampshire and it is safe to say I am very ready for spring. Until then I will be following the sun around the house with my coffee, closing my eyes for a minute and pretending I am on a tropical island. (I can’t be the only one who does this?)

If you see me parked in the one patch of sunlight in the house, just know I am simply doing what any good houseplant would do.

Who else is chasing the sunlight this time of year? 16 days til spring!!!!!

Red Anthurium care is easier than you think if you understand one botanical secret.

Commonly known as the Flamingo Lily, the Red Anthurium is often mistaken for a fake plant because of its waxy spathes and perfect heart shaped leaves.

As plant 7 of 150 Beginner Friendly Houseplants series, I am breaking down why this tropical favorite belongs in your collection.

1. Light Requirements: Place your Anthurium in bright indirect light. Avoid direct afternoon sun which can scorch the foliage but ensure it gets enough energy to keep those red blooms coming year round.

2. Soil and Drainage: Use a chunky aroid mix. Because these plants grow on trees in the wild, their roots require oxygen. Standard soil stays wet for too long and leads to root rot.
3. Water Quality: This species is sensitive to minerals found in tap water. Use filtered water or rainwater to prevent brown leaf edges and salt buildup in the soil.

Save this post for your next nursery trip so you remember exactly what soil to buy. If you have a question about your Anthurium blooms, leave a comment below
