    I've always liked indoor plants.

    My first apartment had a great southern exposure and I had lots of house plants. I would write their binomials on popsicle sticks and shove them in the pot to see what I could learn. It's amazing to see the variety of plants withing the same genus.

    I dont do well with blooming plants. But have always had lots of plants inside and out. Over 43 plants and down to about 17 now.
    Just to big to keep moving around when clod weather is out.
    When I get a chance will show picture.

    I have a few houseplants inside, and a bunch of potted plants outside on the patio. Unfortunately though we moved them into the shed for the winter freeze, most of them didn't make it so I have a lot of empty pots out there now. :(

    I have a couple of Monstera’s some may know as the Swiss cheese plant inside,
    ( the variegated type )
    I’ve had the put the smaller recently bought cutting outside due to it having flying tiny insects in it grrrrr
    I believe they are called Gnats , I tried spraying but they persisted
    Both plants look the same but are a different variety ...one being a more sort after variety where a fairly established
    plant can fetch around the $2.000 mark ( the same as the small cutting I have ) which didn’t cost me very much
    My larger plant is called a Thai consultation ....the small one is Albo monstera ( that’s the one I’ve put outside )
    I’ll be back to post. Photos
    I have heaps of my special begonias outside but not inside

    This is the Thai consultation it has a number of leaves so it’s a nice looking plant
    I’m not home to take a full photo at the moment
