(½) The day after freezing rain here in Toronto: I just had to just had to break out my poor sempervivums from their icy shell #sempervivum #succulents #icestorm #freezingrain #henandchicks #plantlove #plantlife
New stems on my peperomia puteolata. I think it’s time to propagate - these stems are quite tall; far away from the rest of the plant. #houseplants #plantlove #foliage #plantlife #indoorplants #peperomia #peperomiaputeolata #parallelpeperomia #urbanjunglebloggers

Hello, this fern came into the store I work at and no one knows what it is. Would you be able to identify it? Thank you!
Response:
This appears to be a silver lace fern!

Hey, I've been struggling to get vine clippings to establish themselves. I bought some clippings online, and I've had clippings from various vines around the neighborhood. But I haven't had much success w either keeping them in damp soil or submerging the ends in water. Any tips?
House Plant Journal Answer:
I usually root cuttings in water right after I cut them. I’ve never tried buying cuttings online so I can only guess that they become weak from the travel? I would try to keep the humidity up around the cuttings while they are rooting - you could try using a tent of some kind.

(½) There’s something about these two-toned succulents and the way the warm afternoon sun was hitting them that really confused my camera’s white balance - it was awesome! #succulents #singapore #plantlife #plantlove #foliage #gardensbythebay #flowerdome (at Flower Dome, Gardens by the Bay)
New containers for my girlfriend’s plants. Love the spacious window sills of older buildings. #houseplants #plantlove #foliage #indoorplants #plantlife #urbanjunglebloggers #pothos #marblequeen #dracaena #dracaenamarginata
Hello! I just received a “variety pack” of plants and I’m not sure what these four are exactly. If you or your followers could help so I know exactly how to take care??? I’m nervous about accidentally killing them with over or under watering or light levels. Thanks!!!!
Response:
Top Left: Polka dot plant
Top Right: Croton gold dust (also ‘sloppy painter’ - haha)
Bottom Left: don’t know, might be English ivy
Bottom Right: dieffenbachia
All will be fine with bright indirect light and evenly moist soil but now you can Google any specific info :)
DIY tip: save the lids from jars/bottles - they make great pot risers. For most of my plants, I use the ‘nursery pot in container’ combination so the risers allow me to easily grip the nursery pot when I lift them out for watering. #houseplants #plantlove #foliage #indoorplants #plantlife #dracaena #dracaenamarginata #plantcare #urbanjunglebloggers
Conversations at Valleyview Gardens: “Excuse me, where might I find the snake plants?” “Just head down this Dracaena hallway, take the second right. When you pass the Pothos towers, the snake plants will be on your left. If you see spider plants, you’ve gone too far.” #houseplants #plantlove #foliage #indoorplants #plantlife #valleyviewgardens (at Valleyview Gardens)
Dear Darryl,
We recently obtained this plant (supposedly Dracaena Fragrans?) from our landlord. As you can see the poor fellow is in horrid shape at the moment. The leaves are rolled up and torn, and the tips are burnt.
Any ideas on how to get it in shape again?
Thank you so!
Response:
Yes, this appears to be a Dracaena fragrans (aka corn plant). You could probably just remove some of the lower leaves as most corn plants usually just have the top few levels of leaves so the whole plant is styled more like a tree.
Another thing you could do, though it’s more risky and time consuming, is to cut the whole trunk in half; root the top part in water (may take several weeks); then when roots are ready, plant it beside the remaining trunk - which should sprout 2-3 new groups of leaves :)
In any case, you can wipe the leaves with a damp cloth to rid them of dust. In general, this plant likes bright indirect light. Too much sun will burn the leaves. Good luck!
