Its all in the details
A broken pot, polished rocks, and chunks of colored glass can transform a simple bed into a detailed and eclectic green space.

I've lived in my house for almost 2 years now and just recently I discovered something amazing about to happen. There are three 4 ft tall yuccas in our backyard that our previous owner had planted and all three are blooming. I.can't.wait.
Pilea peperomioides (PIE-LEAH) (PEPPER-O-ME-OY-DEES) is a very unique and popular houseplant. Naturally, when I bought mine all I wanted to do was give it lots of attention and love everyday. I didn't want to mess up my $48 houseplant! But Pileas like their space. I treat mine like a semi-succulent. I give it lots of bright indirect light and let it dry out a bit between waterings. My pilea is finally growing some babies from the stem in the soil! yay! When they're about 2 inches tall, I'll cut them off, plant them in fluffy soil, give them about a month or two to really establish a root system, and then give them to my plant friends. BECAUSE SPREAD PLANT LOVE!
This time of year is exciting because all the bulbs you buried back in the fall are starting to come up and bloom. Anemones, Hyacinths, Daffodils, Snapdragons, and Crocus are happily welcome in my garden.
Above are my Peperomia Polybotrya (Raindrop) and Peperomia argyreia (Watermelon) growing in water for 6 weeks in a west facing window. Peperomias have been the easiest to propagate but are slow growing.
