      Could be anything: a rose, a mint, a random leafy thing. Aww, that’s nice.
      I might not reply to everyone, but I’d love to read your answers. Thanks for sharing! 🌸

      The only thing I can manage to keep alive is golden pothos, I have a black thumb 🙁

        Pothos is really a great choice!

        I’ve propagated it so many times as well, I love it. I started with 1 plant and now have 8 I think.

      I have a greenhouse and an allotment so it’s mostly vegetables – and weeds which are absolutely relentless! We always had issues growing mint but now we have a MASSIVE container with loads of different mint varieties. My dog absolutely loves sage and salvia so we have a lot of that too. Anything for bees, wildlife and the dog!

        Hooray for dogs!Also, mint leaves in rice noodles are really tasty. It’s a way of eating Yunnan rice noodles in China, and this dish might also be found in Southeast Asia.🐶

      So many! Golden Pothos, Philodendron, Peace Lily, Snake, Lucky Bamboo, Thanksgiving Cactus, Aloe, Alocasia, Boston Fern, Thimble Cactus, and Arrowhead. I have 18 pots at home and 1 at work. All but 5 are rescues 😊

        Wow, 18 pots, and loads of them are rescues – that’s awesome! As a newbie, I still find it kinda hard to keep plants alive!!

        Believe me it hasn’t been easy to keep them all alive. I’ve had to repot countless times because the plant didn’t like the soil I chose 😆 2 peace lilys did actually die, but I experimented with trimming off the bad roots, coated the plant bulbs in rooting hormone powder, and buried them in new soil. So far they are coming back strong and beautiful! I have a 3rd, the Alocasia, I’m doing that with as well. It died within a couple of weeks of bringing it in. The bulb has been in the soil for almost a month now, just waiting for it to sprout 🤞

        I still feel like newbie with plants though. I managed to have 8 pots of aloe die once. I was so upset and was trying to figure out what I did, and all I did was change out the soil. So know that as a newbie there will be trial and error with your plant babies. Look into plant apps, YouTube videos, general searching online for tips. You got this! 💚

      I have a big Tuckeroo tree in the back yard which was full of bees a few months ago and this last few weeks has shed its orange berries everywhere (apparently this orange skin is one of the most anti cancer properties, Rosemary, Bamboo, the very toxic Firestick plant, some banana Palms. No house plants though.

        Oh yeah and we have orange trees too.

        I always love the name Rosemary. It sounds like a poem.Palm trees fit the LA vibe perfectly!🌴Good thing the tuckeroo tree doesn’t actually grow carrots though — that would be my personal nightmare…😾

      I don’t know how to take care of plants at home, but here in Brazil, you just have to walk down the street and it’s easy to find some fruit trees, and also in some parks near my house there are avocado, jackfruit and acerola trees that birds and bats also eat.🦜🦇

      Tons of peonies from my garden right now!

        That must be a truly magnificent garden. 🌸 In China, peonies are also very loved – they’re seen as a flower of elegance, nobility, and grace. Truly a royal kind of flower.

        Wow! That’s very interesting. Peonies are my favorite flowers! I always look forward to the time when they bloom.

      I have two Crassulas and one Zamioculcas zamiifolia. They’re very low-maintenance houseplants, which is perfect for me. 😅

      @Fran I got a rash from brushing up against a firestick plant without realising it.

      I have a cactus named Thurston(get it?)

      Trying sunflowers indoors. The first two attempts (with other flowers) didn’t take. Third time’s the charm tho🌻
