    #pinkprincessphilodendron . Can’t believe how mu #pinkprincessphilodendron . Can’t believe how much this grew and how much more pink variegation it got after cutting it. Love it. It also REALLLLY likes #semihydro so I 100% recommend that medium for this species. I hope to keep it growing tall so that I can add lights to it and make it my #pinkxmastree this year 😝
    My kendo Sensei’s wife gave me a #stringofpearls My kendo Sensei’s wife gave me a #stringofpearls cutting! The roundness fits perfectly with this vase! I was thinking about getting this for a while, but never did. There’s definitely something magical about the green plant and white pot contrast.
    So, I would say that I’m officially addicted to So, I would say that I’m officially addicted to #variegatedmonstera . I got my albos from three fantastic sellers @variegata777 @bo_aries @stacheofplants and I highly recommend all of them; they are all very experienced sellers and provide excellent risk-free customer service. All my plants rooted well. I’m still waiting for a new leaf to grow under my current house conditions (maybe it will this summer!!!!). I remember seeing the #monsteraalbovariegata in a Saks (?) email and how the beautiful half moon monstera was just...eyecatching. Something about it made me oddly attracted to it, resulting in me falling for the whole trend. I finally got this sectoral variegated #monsteraalboborsigianavariegata and LOVE it! Tbh, I love ALL my albos and love seeing them root and grow! Need that new leaf come on let’s go!!!
    My favorite leaf of all time. #pinkprincessphilod My favorite leaf of all time. #pinkprincessphilodendron #pinkplants
    Got promoted in #rinsho ! It’s been forever sinc Got promoted in #rinsho ! It’s been forever since I held a brush, I can’t believe that I got #nikyu within less than a year (I also can’t believe I got an “A” in this assignment!). It’ll be nice to practice again at my sensei’s house. This assignment was mailed to me along with this next month’s workbooks. Tbh, I honestly wonder if I can write like this again lol. This #calligraphy piece is written by the G.O.A.T. Calligrapher, #wangxizhi . I always liked his work whenever I saw it in the textbook, but obviously did not even BOTHER to attempt it until my sensei forced me to. This is an excerpt from the #ranteijo (#蘭亭序 ) —which is said to be his only work that has the best copy. Right now, the copy is located in the Orchid Pavillion in Forbidden City (shocker). The piece is read, 「亦た由お今の音を視るがごとし」(mata nao ima no oto wo miru ga gotoshi). It was one of the last lines in the piece and could only be best translated as, “Just like we now look upon our past.” The piece makes more sense if you add the previous line, “The future generations will look upon us.” The kanji and the actual meaning behind it are so abstract that it’s honestly hard to interpret. #shodo #書道 #臨書 #蘭亭序 #蘭亭序臨書 #王羲之
    Love my new #philodendronstrawberryshake from @bot Love my new #philodendronstrawberryshake from @botanic.az . The cutting was PERFECT; it’s more #pink and the size is perfect for an NYC apartment 😂😂 I get the hype; the pink is slightly different (more of a light bubble gum) than the pink princess philodendron and has a different shape. Any #pinkplants lover should def get a hold of one of these.

    Good news: the leaves are feeling less “thin” Good news: the leaves are feeling less “thin” than when they first arrived 2 days ago and I guess the big leaf really likes the angle of the South-facing sun. These #variegatedmonstera cuttings may just need that small amount of direct sunlight to get their leaves more perky. I think they still need some time to acclimate to my house settings. Fun fact about these: My Brazilian babysitter said that monsteras are very common in Brazil; they can grow in water but they really need to be planted in the ground in order them to REALLY thrive and reach their full potential. She said they get HUGE. I asked her about the “white monstera” and she said that you can only find those in the Amazon o_O and they also can grow in water. She said that only, “the rich ppl” had the variegated monstera at home as a houseplant—-and this was Brazil in the early 70’s o_O it’s interesting how some things never change with these plants. It kinda reminds me of #budo ;where it’s got some classist origins, but arguably still carries some of that into the modern times... #monsteraalbovariegata #monsteraalbo #monsteraalboborsigiana #monsteraalboborsigianavariegata #monsteraalbocutting #variegatedmonsteracutting #urbanjungle

    You are beautiful. My #pinkprincessphilodendron ha You are beautiful. My #pinkprincessphilodendron has grown so much since I got her last May. I was really getting sick of the boring, algae-filled glass jar, and this unused, cute, marble pot from Urban Outfitters. On top of it getting sunburnt from the new Spring sun, it was just time to repot. Thanks to #semihydro this thing has grown out of her little jar to the point where it legitimately had a HUGE rootball that was impossible to get out. I can now do proper flushes with this pot and a clear orchid pot that I bought ages ago but never used. I am so happy that I can finally use this huge marble pot from @urbanoutfitters and be able to see my new pink half moon! I hope that I can get this thing to grow as long as @plants.n.things ‘ Christmas Tree-like Pink Princess 😜
    My #pinkprincessphilodendron was pruned and the ne My #pinkprincessphilodendron was pruned and the new leaf growths ARE more pink and variegated compared to my last pre-pruned ones. They are a little smaller tho, so I dunno if it’s a natural plant process of “starting over” where you start small and you gradually get bigger leaves as the plant gets more adapted. The problem is that the cataphylls are so thick to the point where I wonder if it’s blocking the pathways for some of the leaves to get ample sunlight. Nevertheless, I love how my plant looks, but wondering if I should cut one of the new shoots.. The bright side is that I can have a THIRD pink princess!! #pinkprincessphilodendroncutting
