Houseplants, well- that’s a strong term for what I have. I don’t have many, if any, strictly HOUSEplants because most everything I have goes out for the summer. Usually they love it so much outside that they react very badly when they’re brought inside. I’ve had some serious mealybug this year, which I fought for a while with q-tips dipped in rubbing alcohol but then needed a systemic or face losing my whole “crop”.
It’s weird, I’m totes organic when I garden outside and… I’m using chemicals here on the inside? It doesn’t quite make sense. Not that I’ve ever beenone for acting sensibly and being consistent. I guess I feel like I have a zillion options when I garden outside (moving the plant, more or less water, fertilizer) and when we’re all cooped up here for the winter we just need to make do, no matter what.
I did hook up a Hello Kitty humidifier for the dang Ficus though. It slowed the ridiculous leaf drop….

Hi Amanda! I LOVE houseplants, so I don't find your post at all boring. You actually have quite a few houseplants someone who finds them boring. I think you actually love them, and don't want anyone to think you do. Lol. I'd tell you about my blog, but you would find every post boring, as it is all about houseplants! Have a great day, and remember, those plants are cleaning the air for your family (especially for your daughter) and they are proven to improve your mood.

Amanda just loves the "outdoors." So guess houseplants don't light up her life. Hee. I love you Amanda for your clever plant sense of humor. You just like to keep us all guessing huh? Anyway, remember, I won't be _______ your Aster! Keep writing!!!
