A trio of houseplants on top of the bathroom cabinet

I chopped my Jade plant in half a while back in the hopes of making it branch. While the top half looks to be doing well in it's new pot, the bottom wasn't seeming to do anything at all. About a week ago I noticed a piece of the trunk(?) below where I cut it had loosened away from the rest of the plant and now it *finally* looks to be branching! Look at those tiny nubs! 😍

I also planted the top I had cut off and it seems to be doing well. It has grown at least half an inch and looks healthy. I was a bit worried since the 4 lowest leaves were very... spongy, I guess? But I think they were simply too low on the "new" plant. I cut them off and the rest of the plant seems great!

Got a bunch of new #houseplants at a recent plant swap! Pics in the linked post.

*Really* happy to have gotten a new Boston fern and Purple Heart cuttings. The ones I had last year were absolutely murdered by the harsh winter we had. I plan to permanently keep one pot of each inside the house from now on and only *propagate* from those to outside pots from now on. Don't want to lose them again.

The Boston fern and Staghorn fern aren't looking great at the moment, but I'm confident I can revive them well. The Staghorn fern will soon be wall mounted, if all goes well!

The new Jade plant I got (in the plastic bottle) looks like a different variety from the ones I already have, which is exciting.

The Snake plant is the first I've had that specifically is supposed to do well in low light, I think. Well, maybe the Pothos do, too. Regardless, I'm excited about that! I've pretty much filled all my possible sunny spots in the house already.

i decided to plant my 'odds & ends' succulents in my dish planter this year. all of these succulents except the central Echeveria are cuttings that would otherwise have been thrown away.

the technique with dish-style planters is to build up a wall around the edges with clay-like mud, and then fill the cavity with the desired soil mix. (this planter has drainage holes that are covered with screens, to hold the soil in.) i may eventually cover the surface with bark chips.
