Welcome to my (virtualized) jungle!

Hiiii! My name is Lizzet, and for today I will be creating an encyclopedia based off my very own plants! I have been collecting plants here and there for around five years, and I have been guided by my grandmother, who used to work in a greenhouse. My plants are one of my most prized possessions,even though I have been neglecting my plants lately... I'll show y'all how to NOT be like me (leave your plants to die)! Also, I should mention some of them are cutting propagations, which basically means that they are sections that were cut off from a mother plant to create a whole new one! Isn't that cool?

To anyone currently struggling with their plants right now, hope this helps!

Ceropegia Collaricorona Subsp Collaricorona, also known as "String of Hearts"

One of my personal favorites from my collection! A gift from my grandmother, I was determined to keep it alive. A common problem with succlents, and plants in general, is overwatering.

Conditions

Cymbopogon Citratus, also known as "Lemongrass"

A very nice smelling grass, I took a propagation from my parent's motherplant before the frost killed it off. I'm very glad I did so! The motherplant had stems around three feet long, it was the perfect length for me to make some tea with without taking a lot of stems. I hope to raise my current prop to a greater length!

Conditions

Epipremnum Aureum , also known as "Devil's Ivy" or "Golden Pothos"

My ACTUAL most prized possession. I wrote my college essay about this pothos! It is the oldest plant in my collection, it was a gift from my mother. I think this plant saved me, to be honest.

Conditions

Ficus Lyrata, also known as "Fiddle Leaf Fig"

Some plant hobbyists think this plant is the devil itself to beginners, but I believe otherwise. My Fiddle Leaf Fig is actually one of my favorite plants.

Conditions

Fittonia Albivenis, also known as "Nerve plant"

I actually almost killed this plant, I left it in my room with no water as I left the country for three weeks. This was all that remained! It's an unintentional prop.

Conditions

Syngonium Podophyllum, also known as "Arrowhead plant" or "American Evergreen"

Not too close with this plant, it's one of my most recent additions to my collection. I think it's pretty though!

Conditions

Tradescantia Zebrina, also known as "Spiderwort" or "Wandering Dude"

Look at that gorgeous foliage! How could you not love this plant? It is another absolute favorite from my collection, I had to include it.

Conditions

I'm not sure what I'll write for tommorrow, should I do the rest of my plants? Maybe in the future I'll complete an entry for each one in my collection. I'm not sure, let me know y'all's thoughts. Feel free to start arguing in the comments.
