House Plant Collectors

Hello to fellow plant collectors. I collect succulents and recently started collecting houseplants. Share your favorite houseplants and any care tips.

I have a terrible black thumb, sadly. I am absurdly happy that I’ve managed to keep my marimo alive for five years now! It’s hard to over/under water a plant when it lives in a fishbowl full of water! XD Highly recommend for anyone like me who’s never been able to keep a houseplant before.

I was so glad to see your post. I love LOVE houseplants and only have about 35 or 40 in a small apartment lol Even though I'm running out of room I can't stop myself from grabbing another when I find one I want at a good price. The front of my apartment gets sun that plants love, but the back where my living room is doesn't get much sun at all. So, I've got a lot of grow lights so I can decorate the way I want with my plants.

I have 2 big Peace Lillies, tons of Pothos. 2 Swiss Cheese plants, 4 Prayer plants, a Ponytail Palm, Norfolk Pine tree, a Spider plant with probably 50 babies, Hoya and a bunch of others including some cactus. I'll try to upload some pictures soon.

I used to collect houseplants but ran out of space. Now I have a single sanseveria which seems to survive absolutely anything! I can't wait to collect them again though. I'd love some succulents, but would definitely love plenty of trailing pothos and hoya as well!

My favorite house plant is this rabbits foot fern

Hi Solnce, I just got my first orchid. Phalaenopsis one. Any tips? Its in a transparent pot and water when it seems dry.

I love orchids, and I’m looking to expand my house plants to other plants that are safe for cats ?

I don't like damp soil/compost inside my house so I don't have houseplants.

Feel free to share some plant pictures everyone. I am sure we all would love to see them.

Last year I have started to collect carnivorous plants, mainly sarracenias.

I am more of an orchid kind of a person. I have several.

I am an orchid collector as well. Most of them are Phalaenopsis orchids.

We have lots of cheese plants, they are pretty low maintenance
