It’s hard to pin point a favorite plant. Right now, I have been enjoying my finger cacti blooming. One of my aloes has put out a flower stalk, and I am patiently waiting for the buds to open up. I really love plants!

I think Chocolate Soldiers are pretty, but I also love Boston Ferns. I have a black thumb, though, and tend to kill everythi,g I touch. I’ve even killed an air plant.

My favorite houseplant is the Ivy. Even though they seem to be a challenge to me. My pride and joy is a lemon tree I am growing from seed.

I haven’t had much luck with houseplants 🙁 Had a spectacular purple passion plant hanging from the kitchen ceiling, killed by my cat Buzz who jumped into the pot from the top of the refrigerator. Had a black jewel orchid that only bloomed once a year, and every time it bloomed, Buzz at the flower. And so many of the best air-cleaning houseplants are toxic to cats… I can’t even bring many of my favorite cut flowers in. And the house I have now has no sunny windows or even “bright indirect light” – so I would need non-toxic plants that can thrive in mostly artificial light AND repel cats!

I have had my ficus tree for over 30 years. It started out in a 6″ pot, now it is in a 36″ container. I have moved it with me to 12 different addresses

I have NO IDEA what kind of houseplant I have (my husband got it in college, and it’s been with us since). My husband calls it “Globula.” It needs minimal sun, minimal water, and has the most gorgeous shades of greens on its long, tall leaves. Clearly, I need a book about houseplants since I can’t even identify my own!

My favorite houseplant is any Amaryllis. When days are short they brighten up the days with their large colorful flowers
