So I wanted a bit of greenery at my desk, and decided to set up a small garden. It’s coming along! The plants in order from left to right, top to bottom:

  • Sansevieria Trifasciata
  • Tradescantia Zebrina
  • Mentha Suaveolens
  • Hypoestes Phyllostachya
  • Hoya Carnosa
  • Portulacaria Afra

I had a problem with spider mites, but hopefully by taking cuttings of the mint and dumping the rest of the plant we’re all good.

    Beautiful plants! I especially like the Portulacaria Afra, thinking of getting one for my room now c:

    How often do you water?

      Hardly ever. The leaves store water, and it thrives in arid conditions. I’d water it about as often as a snake plant.
