Plants Update: Spring 2026

Spring has rolled around and I have updated my plant catalogue, including exciting changes:

• Alvin, the cactus, has bloomed again with pretty white flowers
• Bob, the pineapple plant, has been pruned and looks naked
• Esther, the hardy houseleek, has been re-potted due to the root-network becoming too vast
• Rosa, the red-green Coleus, has become too leggy and was heavily pruned into 9 cuttings. I am in the process of propagating them
• Voldo, the three-metered ivy, has also become too leggy and required pruning. I am also propagating these and have moved him somewhere more sunny
• A new plant, Jerry, now resides in my living room. He is a small fern in a very pretty thrifted hexagonal pot
• A new plant, Maxine, now hangs out by Bob. She is a Peperomia and is very sensitive, dropping many leaves. My last Peperomia died, so this will be interesting
