Plants and Flowers

This morning I moved a few plants around, and bought some fresh flowers.

I put the plant on the sideboard, so it doesn't cook on the rad (it was previously in the basement, severely neglected)


I am not sure if the spikey Ikea plant is going to make it...the other stem died months ago. I am reluctant to invest in a giant version, if I can't get this one to thrive.  I am almost certain it is goners.

UPDATE: The plant on the dining room sideboard was moved into the office...it was too close in shape to the lamps....I added the glass/crystal stuff back to the sideboard, hmmmm....I think I should get a tray



The spider plant went into the master bedroom...it needs some love.  The roots are so massive that even watering it as much as I do, the soil can't hold onto the moisture.  Time to transplant it.

  1. You are on a roll today - do you have excess pre-birth energy? Lovely flowers, particularly like those little vases you have.
    BTW, do you think you'll be blogging once you are home with 2 little ones? Have a great weekend.

  2. This looks so great! Most of my plants died in our move (that sounds horrible) and I still haven't figured out good spots for the ones that survived. Is that a bonsai tree on the radiator? So cool!

  4. its some mini tree from ikea...not a bonsai...my better half had to have it...

    it is doing well! This surprises me since I have to take it to the sink to water it...I let the tap drip drip drip until the soil is moist...if I try to pour water onto the soil, it runs out of the pot. Annoying!

  5. I've had the same IKEA plant for around 7 years now...It's really tall...I find that it doesn't like a lot of attention...water every 8 or 9 days...until wet...and leave it alone...I've had it outside on the terrace in full sun all day and it's been in every corner of my living room too...and it's happy either place...like I said, it just doesn't need a lot of attention...I've never repotted it either...go figure...

  6. gasp! beautiful master bedroom! i never thought of having figure sketches above the bed. my husband was an artist before becoming a nurse (i know, big career change, haha). i should ask him if he can make us some sketches.
