Let's start this plant journey. I'll be sharing stuff about what I'm growing, seeing or finding on this thread.

I don't know the name of the thick leafed plant (those are paint specs). I've had this for 4 months and it was just a leafless twig when I got it from a friend. I love it because it can go for days without water. The rest are golden pothos propagating.

Variegated Arrowhead vine.

I saw this one in a thicket somewhere in Nyeri and rooted it and it's slowly growing. Very low maintenance. You'll notice that I don't buy most of my plants. Also I'm getting used to having plants indoors.. I need cuter pots.

Another beautiful morning filled with birds chirping, humidity and bananas. #farmlife

My butternut pumpkin seeds germinated.

Remember those golden pothos that I snipped and dipped in a water jar? Now they have rooted. They are ready to be planted.

I'm also doing the same to rosemary. On my IG highlights ( @jeanwandimi) you can see how I propagated rosemary.

I don't remember the name of this mint but it smells nice. I got cuttings and within 2 months it's overflowing.

When you get mint cuttings, they'll probably look wilty for the first week then take off later. Water religiously. If you miss a day, they'll dry.

There's like 5 types of mint here.

I also learned from @ForeverMoe_ on IG that you don't have to spend an arm and a leg for costly plant pots. Buy affordable plastic and ceramic bowls and drill holes, paint etc. These bowls were 67 bob each.

In a bid to slow down from the hamster wheel that is urban life, I forced myself to take on a hobby that did not bring me money but brought me extreme joy, forced me to switch off and reminded me of my childhood. I had to commit to doing it for an hour everyday. How it's going..

Inspired by @Pinterest I started crate farming as well. I used broken tiles on the sides to prevent soil from pouring. I have a bean, Butternut pumpkin and cucumber. Under the mulch is dhania germinating. I'll look for poles and string later for the vines to grow...

Remember the rosemary sprigs I popped in a glass of water a few weeks back? Look at the roots... Now they are ready to be planted in soil.

More crate farming. I've planted butternut and cucumber..

My mints which looked limp and like they would die when I planted them took off.

I just put them in the shade and watered religiously.

Pumpkin growth from seed. #cratefarming

The weeds are taking over my seed starting station. However I have some dhania/cilantro there.

#plantswap Plant twitter in NBO. Who has a Variegated rubber plant /Ficus Elastica (white or pink) that I can snip and pot?

I'll bring some nice plant(s) for you too.

How we started vs now.

Triangular plant shelf ideas. Which is your fave design? 1, 2, 3,or 4?

My little Ashley cucumbers that I'm growing in a crate are starting to flower

I love the little developments in my garden.

Grew green peppers and a passion fruit from seed.

(That's how it it works but it's still beautiful to watch)

About to pot my new Monstera, Maranta/Calathea and Snake plant

I was inspired to add more plants to my collection by @atkelli_
I know this is not a hanging plant but how cute is my Calathea zebrina? I decided to hang it outdoors before I get more vining plants

You find so many gems on those roadside vendors around Nairobi.

My most stubborn & dramatic plants to grow. Philodendron & Variegated arrowhead vine.
I have to give them some tlc, water and consistently.
