and it's already got six blades of new growth! :flower:

Finally, doing something right!

I also repotted my mother-in-law's tongue and my umbrella tree and they're doing lovely. I've never been able to keep an umbrella tree alive for more than a month.

Just me, I suppose.

That's fantastic you're plants are doing well! :)
Spider plants are fun to propagate. Turn one plant into hundreds.
What else do you grow?

I'm patiently waiting for Spring proper to arrive.
Even in Florida, a lot of plants die off in the Winter.

I'm a shameless plant-addict. And everything is dead in the garden right now.
In anticipation of Spring, here's a past pic of my Clerodendrum ugandense:

I've got some morning glory seeds and some scarlet ladder seeds growing in some peat pots right now.

I also have a fern, a mother-in-law's tongue and a umbrella tree.

Wow, what a beautiful flower. I love plants, especially outdoor plants. Unfortunately, I do not like the outdoors! I've got a couple of plants in my house and a couple at work. They don't flower or anything. And, considering I've got no windows at work, they're very healthy. At least once a week, I go to Target and just wander around in their garden section. I love looking at their plants.

Thank you :) That plant is also known as a Blue Butterfly Bush. Easy to grow indoors with some sun, or outdoors in subtropical or tropical areas.

Are they Philodendrons perhaps?
