I’m starting to think my houseplants are as confused as the outside ones. Usually, winter is a less active time for the house plants also, but my lime tree that was blooming like crazy is making limes and growing leaves.
It even has more blossoms come on.
The Thai Constellation Monstera finally got it’s leaf open. It’s still not standing up straight, but give it time. I just love the markings on this one.

My amaryllis bloom continues to grow. I’m so impressed I forced it to bloom. Now, I just need to get my timing down so that it actually blooms for Christmas. But I’ll take it for MLK as well.

By last Sunday night, two of the blooms were fully open. They are such beautiful flowers!
After just sitting there and not changing much at all for about two years, my Raven ZZ is getting a new shoot!

How exciting is that! I just love watching the new shoots go from bright green to black.
I also love my Prince of Orange Philodendron for the same reason, but it goes from bright orange to dark green. For some reason, every leaf comes out with a crinkle at the base. It really makes it hard for them to open. I occasionally have to help uncurl it.
I had to help this newest leaf. The next one is already coming in.
This summer was weird because I struggled with some of my plants getting root rot. I’m not sure why, but I about lost the pothos my sister gave me. Actually, I did lose it, but I was smart enough to take a cutting and try rooting it before it was completely dead. That worked. So I potted it over the weekend.

I do enjoy my house plants during these winter months. They bring a lot of cheer to the room.
