My New Spring Obsession

WELP, just as I suspected, we completely skipped spring here in RVA, folks.  We went from 50/60 degree days to a sweltering 90 in a matter of days.  Virginia weather is always so unpredicatable! ANYWHO. John and I have been doing some major work around our house, and I have discovered a new obsession for plants.  A few weekends ago, we went to Lowe’s to get some hanging ferns for the front porch, and ended up going back later that day to work on our potted plant game. So far, my roses are blooming beautifully, but the hydrangeas are looking TRAGIC. I think I’ve got a lot to learn.



So, naturally, my outdoor plant obsession has now evolved into an indoor plant obsession. John says we need to have “a plan” for this but I’m feeling like it will happen organically. So, first I ordered two of these hanging planters from Urban to hang in our bedroom (that we are finally decorating) and then plan on expanding our collection into the dining room and living rooms as well! Who has house plants and can give me the secret tips for making them live forever?! In the past I have been known to kill even the easiest succulents.

    My rec is no indoor plants. Messy an uncooperative . Get a dog instead. Plants are great outside though. Some hydrangeas can be temperamental, but don’t give up on the ones you have planted. Make sure they are arent frying out in this heat. This weather has been too hot for planting, so nurse them along with the sprinkler.

    We’re all about faux plants indoors. With the Houston heat and humidity, it’s impossible to keep anything alive!

    I’m obsessed with these patterned pants. If they come in tall, they’re coming home with me!

    My husband also thinks I’m the crazy plant lady- we just got a fiddle leaf fig almost 2 months ago and I’m trying so hard to keep it alive!

    I love having lots of plants in my apartment! I love the pop of color with all my furniture and paint colors being so neutral!
