Inspired by my sister-in-law Steff, who’s been filling her Toronto home with plants over the last couple of years, Dad has recently started collecting houseplants again. For reference, back in the ’80s, our family home looked like this:
…as you may remember from my Now! #2 review. Anyway, this is the way I always visualise the house from when I was growing up, with plants trailing down from every bookshelf. Most of them were spider plants, and I loved the shape of the leaves. Unfortunately, they all eventually died (Dad says this is because Mum was always over-watering them!) and so the house was plant-less for quite some time.
This last year, however, Dad has been breeding spider plants again (and I don’t think Mum’s allowed to water them anymore). They’re growing and multiplying very rapidly, and so I’ve been promised one for my own house. I’m a bit nervous about taking one, because I’m probably as bad as Mum at killing plants (I’m still in mourning for Basil the basil plant, who did not survive our time at our last house), but Dad says spider plants are quite easy to maintain, so we’ll see.
Anyway, Dad also got this gorgeous new plant, which is the subject of the post!
It goes really nicely with the spider plants. It’s so nice to see the house full of plants again – just like it was back in the ’80s!
Really beautiful plant. Your parents house is awesome. Interesting contnet thanks for the sharing.
