In Melbourne, there's a playful joke about hipsters being easily spotted by their beloved fiddle leaf figs. These leafy friends seem to thrive in the city's culture, much like my mother's ginarmous one and my own modest version. It's a culture that values the environment and this seems to be mirrored inside people's home. It's fascinating how the right soil biome plays an incredibly important role in their well-being.
The resilient and long lasting, hard to kill monstera deliciousa has thrived every home I've lived in, adding a touch of green that dominates the space. Their ability to thrive in self-watering pots makes their maintenance easy. I remember my Nana's courtyard, where a monstera even bore fruit—an unexpected delight in our climate - usually they grow in more tropical Queensland.
This little one, a gift from my mom, drifts around the beams, a survivor of a doggy disaster and brought back to life by my plant loving daughter-in-law. Its presence in the kitchen adds a delightful climbing spectacle, though it might be time for a new pot or even a more noticeable leaf from a different plant - maybe a devil's ivy?
The devil's ivy I do have is perched atop the fridge beside my green tara, and is a personal favorite. It blends effortlessly blend into the space, and provides offshoots to make more plants to spread around or gift to people.
These houseplants, happy and thriving in various rooms, are natural air purifiers, and bring nature indoors. Even my doona cover today seems to coordinate effortlessly with the houseplants, just for this Hive post!
Keeping my grandson away from them is a mission - babies do love to eat dirt. My son came up with a perfect solution. He has nearly grown out of it now. I like to think he's a little gardener in the making.
With Love,

CUTE!
One of these days we'll get around to putting some more plants inside this house...
Next trip to Bunnings!!!
I love plants! I don't have a garden but I have always had a lot of plants in my home. Will you leave your plants with the tenant when you leave?
I'll see if mine survive the winter, I'll store them here in the house in the bathroom, but there will be minimal heating on, about 5 degrees Celsius. And my mom will come here (not just to care for the plants) about once a week.

Hopefully the tenant will care for them. I hope your plants survive just fine!!
You have some really large plants! I love having plants all over the house.
All the plants look very healthy and happy. One can never have too many plants to love.
My dad had a delicious monster that was ENORMOUS! While I was a child he lived in a teeny cottage and I'm sure that delicious monster took up more space than the rest of us. Your grandson is getting so big! What a cutie. That instruction is hilarious! Good thing he can read......
That's a nice spacious and bright kitchen. The island looks like a great spot to smoke weed or drink kombucha ✌️
The little guy has a look on his face that says, "oh yeah? Just watch me!"
You have very healthy plants. It seems you got company, the cute little guy was actually helping you out☺️
