Im pretty new to houseplants, but I had some grow lights around from seed starting for my garden and wanted to get into houseplants 🤷‍♂️

Everything is in a nursery pot, and the ceramics are cache pots. Anything I’ve repotted has only gone up and inch or two in pot size, and I’ve been using a mix of normal potting soil and an orchid blend that contains bark, charcoal, and pumice (I couldn’t find a chunkier perlite in store so I’m improvising lol). I only water if they feel dry when I dig into the soil. I also just got a liquid tropics fertilizer.

I’ve had the Thai Constellation monstera for a month, the most fenestrated leaf was a spear when I bought it and has since unfurled.

The Heartleaf and Brasil philodendrons I got on clearance around a month ago.

The Neon Queen pothos I got around a week ago.

And the Marble Queen pothos I got a few days ago, she’s lowkey stealing the scene but I love her 💀🤷‍♂️

Any critiques or advice would be much appreciated, I’d like to treat my new green children well 👀

She is many marble queens, actually. So densely planted it’s crazy. Starting to trail too.

Costa Plants Thai Constellation Monstera found at Walmart on clearance. No idea why she was on clearance, she looks completely healthy aside from roots coming out the 4” nursery pot she was in. I’ve since repotted into a 6”. I’ve had her about a month, and the lighter green fenestrated leaf was a spear when I got her and has since unfurled. I’m pretty new to houseplants, so does anyone more experienced see why she might’ve been on clearance or was this a steal? Either way she’s gorgeous 🤷‍♂️💅

I usually refer to Remi as a chi mutt, maybe he’s just a poorly bred long hair chihuahua. Ik he’s a little round, but he’s also just strangely proportioned idk lol. Anything y’all can think of he might be mixed with? He’s around 15lbs and 4yo. Very luxurious hair that is now infused into every object he’s ever been within 10 feet of 💀

Pretty big spider I saw on a walk in northern Utah. Curious what kind it is?
