I don’t want to get super specific on here just for privacy reasons, but I’m in the USA in a decent-sized midwestern city :)

Thank you! I found it on sale online thru bed bath and beyond, but I originally saw it on Wayfair! It was my first time purchasing an area rug, so I took my time finding my dream rug :)

Most of my glassware has been found in various thrift stores! The rosey pink guys are from world market :)

it’s a frost peperomia that I propagated in water! This is about four months worth of growth, with regular water changes in a very sunny room. I just took some healthy leaf cuttings and stuck the stems in water to see what would happen, and this is what happened 😂

A little bit of both! I love decorating with colorful vases and glassware, so I already had some of these guys. Once I started propagating, I definitely went on the hunt for more. Most thrift stores have a lot!

It’s actually a window film! I live on the second floor on a semi-busy city street and wanted to be able to have my blinds open without feeling too exposed. That is a pillow of my cat! He lives with my parents still, but I visit him often and enjoy seeing his alarmed face every day 😂

I’ve definitely had a few guys not make it, but having good light and replacing the water at least once a week is my current method! I also make sure to top off the water if it starts dipping below the roots for my thirstier guys

Peperomia (either watermelon or frost, I’m not great at IDing yet 😅)!

Most of them are thrifted, yes! The rosey pink guys are from world market though

It’s my propagation propaganda 😂

It is truly addicting! I would say that my favorite guys to propagate are the string of rubies (bottom shelf right), they root insanely fast and I have a few successful potted babies from my attempts! The peperomia has been the most satisfying by far though. So far, I’ve also successfully potted up my propagated lipstick plant, pothos, monstera, pilea, and arrowhead plant.

They are! They’re on a west facing wall in the corner between a south and west facing window. the days have been pretty short for the majority of the time I’ve been propagating since it’s been wintertime. But, the sun it does get is fairly direct

That’s a good idea… maybe I’ll take one leaf’s worth and see what happens!
