5 Easy to care for house plants, make life be gentle and strong

5 Easy to care for house plants, make life be gentle and strong

If your home is always cold, another option besides pets is planting! You can occasionally put a pot of greenery in the house to keep them company, it won’t be noisy, but it will take a lot of effort to feel its needs and presence, and eventually you will see the beautiful results of your care.

Don’t worry, my plant level is still in the newbie village, but my laziness level is very high.

Let me introduce you to five plants that meet the following criteria.

  • Plants that don’t get rid of (or die) so easily when they are still growing
  • Plants that take a little time to care for and are happy to be with you for a long time
  • Once the soil is dry and the pot is light, water it again until it runs out.
  • Fertilise in spring and summer, not too hard for a month or two

Sansevieria trifasciata/Snake Plant

  • Indoor/Outdoor plants
  • Indirect light
  • water once per week
  • Safe for pets

Every time I see a tigertail orchid with its vibrant, self-contained leaves, I think of “Gon Freecss”, who defies gravity and grows his hair upwards when he turns into an adult in “HUNTER×HUNTER”.

The biggest problem is not to water it too often. My colleague could not resist watering it two or three times a week before it died.

There are all kinds of species, my favourite is the grey and white Sansevieria trifasciata ‘Silver Queen’, perhaps you can find one with a similar personality to your own.

Ceropegia woodii

  • Indoor/Outdoor plants
  • Indirect light
  • water once per week
  • Safe for pets
銀后虎尾蘭

The leaves hang down like little love hearts, and when the weather is colder the back of the plant emerges in a pinkish colour, like a girl. I decided to bring one home after seeing a video about it being on the list of pet-safe plants, and it has been growing like Rapunzel ever since it arrived at my house.

I’ve even cut many of them and given them to colleagues. It’s super easy to divide the plant, just cut it into sections and place them on the soil, sprinkle a thin layer of soil on top and keep it moist. I still water it at least once a week in the summer.

Mentha / Mint

  • Outdoor plants
  • Enjoy light
  • Often water
  • Not safe for pets

Last year (2020), I rushed to my sister in Tainan with a bag, and she introduced me to a whole row of plants on the balcony, she could cut them out and make tea with whatever she wanted.

I thought, “That does sounds great!” This is what I need!

I immediately gathered a group of colleagues to order the plants, and at first my plants were all fine, until the summer holidays came and things started to go wrong, the summer holidays in Taiwan were so hot that the plants on the indoor balcony were invaded by red spiders, the mint was the only one left in the race.

So you know how life vigorous mint is, right?

There are various varieties of mint, such as grapefruit mint, citrus mint… etc. Cut a few slices of mint and put them in your cup of tea for an aesthetically pleasing tea with a refreshing mint flavour. It is recommended to drink it with a tea bag during the day when you want to stay awake, but not before bedtime, so please put down your scissors.

Monstera deliciosa

  • Indoor/Outdoor plants
  • Indirect light
  • Water once per week
  • Not safe for pets

Super plants for KOL.

When I bought a small Monstera, I found that it was just like a normal lotus leaf, “You must have gotten a lotus leaf, right?” My colleague kept saying that.

It was only when I looked up the article that I found out that only mature plants would split open like the leaves in the beautiful photos, which is called ‘open back’.

It’s a tropical rainforest plant that needs to be kept in a moist environment, and many of you will be rushing to fill it with water to take care of it. A moist environment for rainforest plants is the moisture in the air, not the moisture in the soil underneath! Use a spray bottle once a day to keep the air humid for your bamboo, and water about once a week to twice a week. (I am very lazy,lol)

I keep it in an office without a window and move it temporarily to a window at weekends and then back to the seat on work days. I don’t want to wait for it to grow up, so I went to a famous bamboo shop to buy mature plants.

Euphorbia lactea ‘White Ghost’

  • Outdoor plants
  • Enjoy light
  • Water once per month
  • Not safe for pets

It was easy to mistake it for a cactus, but when I saw it on the shopping platform, I was amazed, it looked so much like a white cactus covered in doughnut icing. So I ordered it right away and took it home. It lived up to my expectations and escaped the miserable fate of succulents in my hands. I always water it on the first day of the month so that I don’t forget it exists.

Compared to the succulents that put me in a desperate situation where I don’t know whether to water them or not, the ‘White Ghost’ is very self-reliant, “Water? Then I’ll drink it! No water? No problem, no problem, I can live on my own for two months.”

Living strong in the sunny front terrace.

There’s always a plant for you

Let’s start with these five starter plants to fill your home and build a little forest at home.

If you don’t like plants on this list, that’s fine, maybe next time there will be some plant you like on the list and I will continue to experiment with some easy plants and recommend them to you if I succeed.

Life is a journey
How many incarnation have we waited to have a chance to enjoy this journey?
You can be brave to love a person, climb a mountain, make a dream
I don’t know a loit of things, and there are no answers to many questions
But I belibeve that God gave us life
to let us work miracles

2019 年去墾丁打工換宿時經歷了三任室 2019 年去墾丁打工換宿時經歷了三任室友,三任室友個性都不一樣。
室友三世他們一家都超可愛,而且長超像,我們每次見面場景都很奇怪,第一天晚上睡覺時她說從來沒有自己睡在房間過,從以前都是跟姊姊邊聊天邊睡。
第二次見面是隔年,一起去她朋友的甜點試吃,然後這就是第三次了。
本來說好要畫畫,結果都在聊天連筆都沒拿出來,實在太廢了。
喜歡看飛機的人也會喜歡這裡吧,時不時就會有飛機✈️飛過去,聲音超大聲。

秋天的第一片落葉
是怎樣拋棄了自己的生命去親吻土地
濕氣裡的種子
以為自己是在溫暖泥土裡而努力發芽  我也是被愛的
被整個世界所愛
被日光所愛
被層層襲來的海浪所愛
被柔軟適合躺臥的草地所愛
被月光以白色羽絨的方式寵愛
被夏夜晚風這樣吹襲
幾乎要躺在風的背面一起旅行  雖然經常
孤獨地哼歌給自己聽
我是世界的孩子
有人喜愛的孩子
——〈世界的孩子〉林婉瑜
這是我在香港吃到除了傳統甜甜圈以外,最像台灣食物的豆腐花!
是稠的糖漿淋在豆腐花上(其實就是豆花啦),和台灣配糖水加上粉圓、軟花生等配料不一樣,讓我超級超級超級超級想吃朋友家可以加奶精球的豆花。🤤  圖 4 不知名的物品是冷凍哈密瓜切片,這裡好多水果切片冷凍起來一片賣港幣 5~15 元,嗚嗚居然吃到很甜的水果,比買刮刮樂中 100 元的機率還少。  2022.10.29

2022.10.06  講了好久終於有機會到印刻部玩版畫!❤️
記得上一次碰到版畫是國小美術課,還為了刻版畫買了一組普通的雕刻筆,自此之後再也沒打開過。  印刻部 @print_and_carve_dept 每週四晚上舉辦的活動藏在中山站巷子內的咖啡館中,邊聊天邊進行自己的創作,可以聽到每一位參加者的故事,有位大姐用「女人眼中的男人們」為主題創作一系列的版畫,超級有趣。
好友很細心地教我怎麼印版畫,「等下拉開一定要用雙手同時從兩角拉開來喔!」
👌🏼我一邊表示沒問題一邊照著她的指示繼續按壓木板,十秒之後:「差不多可以拉開來了。」立馬一手撕一角,看來我記憶力跟松鼠🐿️一樣,只有一轉身的時間唷。  順道一提咖啡館內展示販售的耳環特別又好看!💗  我這篇貼文 po 第三遍了,改成 Reel 再失敗我就哭給你看。😭

沒想到居然會水土不服,待了一禮拜腸胃終於好一點,激動得我想說終於能大吃大喝了!!!
我好想念台灣珍珠奶茶🧋跟粉圓豆花,還有每天的早餐跟青菜。
李組長眉頭一皺,還來不及吃大餐ㄉ我⋯⋯沒過幾天就全身起紅疹,那天下午還很開心地吃了滷豬手,沒想到隔天晚上我自己也變成豬手ㄋㄟ。🐷
還好我在腸胃好與不好之間還有渡過一個悠閒地午後,面向大海。  -  給每一條河每一座山取一個溫暖的名字
陌生人,我也為你祝福
願你有一個燦爛的前程
願你有情人終成眷屬
願你在塵世獲得幸福
我只願面朝大海,春暖花開
