I feel like I am officially a part of the plant world. A couple of months ago, I had none plants…except for a calla lily that thrives every year and is fueled by pure spite for me.
Now I have 5 “all grown up” plants (inherited 3 from my mom + took one of mine back that I had sent to live with hers), 4ish Calathea Plants that I’m sure are only temporarily here on their journey to their next life 🥴, 13 “baby” plants in pots (propping in different substrates), and 15-20ish cuttings propping in water…I know the likelihood of them all being successful is very slim, but I also like that I have options. 🤞🏻
At any rate-today the ones I am propping in a closed environment got a fancy upgrade from the grocery store salad greens container they had been in! It was too short for the taller ones, but has already been repurposed to house the wet sticks I am trying to propagate.
*Not pictured is the humidity monitor thingy I stuck in there after putting it together and setting all of them up in there.

This is inspiring! I started getting serious about our houseplants (had always been my spouse’s domain) but was inspired by an article I read and took over the job. I’ve enjoyed this subreddit. Your prop box looks fantastic!
I keep plants in boot boxes (the big plastic box you have) with a temp/humidity monitor too!

Perfect. Love the added height.

Just got my first official prop box yesterday. Love it!
