I'm a avid gardener. Outdoor and houseplants. Grow a lot of carnivorous plants as well.
Last fall I stumbled upon Adeniums on the web, never saw them before. Bought 2 as well as some seeds. LOVE them!

Grow some veggies every year. Carrots, pole beans, dino and red Russian kale, zucchini.

Things are really starting to bloom suddenly.

So is the pollen.

I love this.

I've been digging all morning since I posted, and we're getting ready to add a couple hundred pounds of perlite to the freshly shoveled dirt to be tilled in with the manure.

I think the only other crop I have in my garden every year you didn't mention is cannabis. Indoor, and outdoor.

My house is a year-round jungle and I fuckin love it

We're also planting SO MUCH CHILI. Chili Cumbre to be specific. A few other types of peppers as well.

Squash, tomatoes (several varieties.. of everything), pumpkin, watermelon, brussel sprouts, okra, herbs... Anything I find that I eat/smoke often I like to grow.

Nice plants! Here are a few of mine recently. Flytraps and sarracenia are still in dormancy:
2 year old cephalotus, drosera dreamcycle and ping primuliflora:

Regretfully, I had to say goodbye to a couple houseplants today.

I was preparing to repot them as they had become slightly rootbound. I ordered plant supplies online. The last of them came today, and I was in a rush to repot them this evening after running some errands. Between the initial rootbound check and today, my plants got really stressed and were already bone dry. I tried soaking each root ball but made more of a mess of things as I was working indoors (goofy me). I finally hit a point of getting extremely overwhelmed and broke all the way down with a friend on the phone.

Thankfully, my friend got my panic to calm down. I got my shit together. I was already in the middle of cutting my plants back since they had become so leggy. I could salvage quite a bit of foliage. So, I just told myself I could have my pick of the best of the best leaves and start all over again. My friend stayed on the phone with me as I cut below each node. We joked about music, silly things on the internet. And she kept saying things like, "it's okay to start over" and "it's a new season" and "renewal" and the like. I boxed up and hauled stuff to the dumpster.

And she was so spot on too.

So, I erased my big white board in my home office. I keep work schedule stuff on one side. On the other, I wrote, "It's okay to start over." I updated the watering dates. I broke out the really cool propagation jars I ordered a while back but never got around to using. They're packed full now, and I decided they might feel right at home next to my other two plants that are still kicking.

I have my desk back!

In all seriousness, this thread has become my most endearing and favorite place to stop by. I know I'm coming off of a panic attack and a rough night, and I might be a bit sour over the next couple days. I'm also very happy to read how you all love your plants too, and it's a sweet, little happy place that I'm glad to have come across.

Philodendrons are very forgiving. Root easily too. And I put mine outside in spring where they they go crazy all summer. I cut them back in the fall and back indoors.

Philodrendrens and a couple of orchids that were given to me last year that surprised me by reblooming nicely this year. They're in the mudroom which is actually a porch that was converted by a previous homeowner with a laundry room so the plants like the extra humidity.

We have baybees!!

It's gonna be a great year for veggies in the neighborhood. Obligatory sauce is my theme of the summer.

Spring in the South is time for Azaleas.
