Hey, Cassie - what do you mean, your husband has shut you off from houseplants? I keep about 35 houseplants in the house, but only the ones I like - for instance I don't like Aroids, or Cacti, or Euphorbias; I don't care for African Violets because they don't succeed with me; trial and error have taught me the plants I like to have in the house.
Talking about them is nearly as much fun as growing them!
Most of my plants were grown from small starter plants which I bought very cheaply in the supermarket - sometimes I get them in jumble sales or car boot sales too.
How do you get yours?

hiyas maggie. im horrible, i steal clippings and leaves wnerever i go. im always starting something. like at my daughters brownie troop meeting place, its a elder center, and they have a window with like 10 different huge african violets so im forever stealing their leaves and starting new plants. i told you im bad lolol. i like to go to home depot because when a plant is no longer sellable due to their neglect, they let me get clippings that may make it. i got a pothos that way and a umbrella plant that my ferret manages to destroy one day when i was gone. i love to go to annual garden shows, you can get great deals on plants there. ive gotten a key lime tree for like 6 bucks compared to $30+. as you can tell im a cheap person lol. theres one here in boston that has everything in it, ive even bought jams and jellies there. my husbands hates houseplants and hates whenever i go to a nursery or home depot or anything having any plant life. what kind of plants do you have and how long have you been dealing with houseplants?

I've got different kinds of spider plants, aspidistras, ficus benjaminas, calamondins, mini lemons, slipper orchid, cymbidiums, stromanthe, calathea, etc. ceropegia, tradescantias, fatsias, dracaenas, ficus elastica, (various), saxifrages, begonias, palms etc. etc.. I tend to specialize in foliage plants.
What's your favourite houseplant, Cassie?
