When I received my Alocasia Baginda Silver Dragon, I didn’t have much hope for this plant. She came to me with mostly broken and bent stems due to the seller not shipping the plant very well. It was obvious that the seller didn’t really care about the plant and they are only in it for…

The Anthurium Crystallinum x Magnificum has a large red new leaf coming out with another one coming right behind it. This plant is one of my favorites.

The hype over Philodendron Pink Princess and how I care for this plant
Recently there was another plant channel that expressed anguish for this over hyped plant and how ugly/undesirable it is in one of her videos. I have to disagree with her opinion. I bought this plant a couple of years ago and although it hasn’t grown that big, I find it to be a rather easy…
How I overwinter my houseplants in cold Ohio
