The start of it all

My passion for plants began way back in 2011 when I was ten years old. My grandma was moving to Arizona and asked me to tag along for a few weeks. At the end of my trip, my grandma decided to send me home with a baby cactus plant. This particular cactus has been through some rough patches with sun damage, but is still alive and doing well.

Orchids

 Orchids are on the more difficult side of house plants, they take a lot of care and attention. I currently have two orchid plants. The first one is a 5 year old orchid that my boyfriend had helped me save after it being neglected for a month or so and was on the edge of death. It has made a comeback, I am just waiting for the day it starts to flower again. The other plant is just a baby maybe a year old that I received as a gift after my grandma died. Orchids are unique because they breathe through their roots, so they need to be planted so their roots are able to breathe and suck up water. The grow beautiful flowers that look fake when you glance by, which is totally worth the wait, dedication, and care.

Yes it is actually called a money tree, its more technical name is the Guiana Chestnut Tree, but I like money tree better. It is a tropical plant that grows clusters of bright green leaves. This plant LOVES water, it is a tree that likes to grow in swampy grasslands. Pictured I have the mother tree and the other is the offspring or of a clipping taken off of the tree and replanted. This is a fairly fast growing tree that thrives in the sunlight.
