It’s my boyfriend’s birthday next month and I wanted to buy him a plant he hasn’t yet got. Currently we have:
- Lots of monsteras
- Syngonium
- Pothos
- Jades
- Snake plants
- String of hearts
- Ferns (staghorn, blue star, boston)
- Peace lilies
- Rubber plant
- Tradescantia
- Spider plants
He particularly likes monsteras! But if there are any relatively easy to care for, or ‘essential’ house plants that it sounds like they’d fit well with what we already have I’d love to hear. Our house is pretty shady but there are certain areas that get a bit more sunlight in the afternoon. Thank you :)
Whoa, the species you suggested has some very unique patterning. Different from any orchid I’ve seen before. I think he would love something like that. Do you know if it’s possible to divide orchids? Thanks for the suggestion
Yes, it’s possible! In this extensive re-potting video the author shows how he divides them: https://youtu.be/8Kx-1T-GprA?t=1621
Edit: Sorry, I linked the wrong video! That’s just cutting for cleaning. One sec, I’ll find the correct video…
Edit 2: Ok, I think this would be helpful: https://youtu.be/b_xF0cK98Xg?t=610
That’s very helpful thank you! They seem easy enough to split
