Hi, my name is Melanie
and my collection of plants started in early 2019. 🌱

My collection of plants started out with succulents which now has become a collection of many. It now includes, but not limited to, rare indoor houseplants, vegetables/herbs, trees/shrubs, orchids, bonsai plants, and much more.

I also am interested in aquascaping, isopods, and pretty crystals.

When I am not tending to my plants/pets, you can find me caring for other pets- whether it’s professional grooming or medical related. I have a degree in Veterinary Technology. By day, I work with Veterinary Oncology, by night, I’m a plant addict who loves buldak noodles.

I had* a 16y/o dog named Maywun who I loved and still love dearly. She was* a maltipoo chihuahua mix who passed on 9/7/23.

Other things that I enjoy doing is: playing golfing, wine tasting, camping, DIY projects and just being creative/crafty. by @leafymemories

I’ve had this one for 2 years & 5 months, haven’t gotten it to flower yet but I did manage to grow it big enough to be able to split it 😅 by @leafymemories

Been really missing my plant babies back at home. I hope they’re doing okay. I’m sure they are. I wonder if any of them have new leaves now 🫣 I hear they thrive better when you just leave them the heck alone 🤣 Are yours like that?

🌱: Phyllanthus Mirabilis (Est: 05/2022)

FYI, these plants are 1 out of only 2 caudiciforms known to fold their leaves at night 😴
