Miscellaneous Plants

“Leia” Baby Tears -Pila Depressa

Propagated from the Original ‘Baby Tears’ plant in the Summer, 2025. Is growing well so far.

Arabian Jasmine - Jasmine Sambac

Purchased in Spring of 2024 from Richter’s Herbs. Its trunk was chewed off by a chipmunk, and I assumed it was dead until almost the fall, when it pushed up a small shoot above soil level. I brought it in for the Winter and kept watering it.

August 2025 -It bloomed for the first time! Only a handful of flowers, and each flower only lasted half a day. They typically opened at night, and I would smell them as I got ready for work in the morning. The small blooms smelled very strongly for their size.

September 2025- Wiped down with insecticide to treat for spider mites.

March 2026 -Many leaves are yellowing from spider mites. Treated again.

Coffee Plant

Part of the original cluster of coffee plants that was given to me in late October 2021. The original pot of trees grew quickly, and I divided it into half. Half were divided up, and this half was just stuck into a new pot all together.

“Mia” -Coffee Plant

One of the individual coffee plants that were given their own pot.

2024 -Spent its summer outside at Wedgeport, and its winter with the bedroom plants.

2025 -Spent its summer outside at Wedgeport.

Zz Plant

Originally given to me as a stump in a Dairy Queen container in the fall of 2024. I watered it regularly, until it started growing a small node towards the end of the year. It grew several inches between January and April, but has remained the same size for months.

March 2026 -Has put out a new stem

‘Raven’ Zz Plant

Purchased from Woodhill Garden Centre in North York, in August 2025. I originally saw they had Raven Zz plants in the Spring it and thought they were too expensive. I then spent the next 5 months searching for something that ‘cheap’. There were a lot of dark Zz plants, but not a lot of truly raven black ones.

September 2025 -Put out several new stems, which started green, but are gradually darkening into black.

March 2026 -It’s been dormant all winter, but the root bulbs are growing very large above the soil.

‘Apple’ Geranium

Purchased from Richter’s in 2024. It has spent its summers outside, and its winters dying back due to lack of light and water. It grows in nice and full during the summer.

Tradescantia Nanouk

Purchased on a whim from Woodhill Garden Centre in North York in the Summer of 2025. Grew very long, very quickly, but had to be cut back in September due to a few bug infestations with the office plants.

October 2025 -Gave it a trim, it was getting leggy.

March 2026 -Getting leggy again. Needs more watering.

Tradescantia Purple Heart

Purchased for my Weston apartment in 2021. It was quickly propagated into many plants and given to many people.

Pitcher PLant

Purchased in June 2025 to go into the new plant cabinet.

Snake plant

This snake plant has been kicking around for at least 8 years. It struggled for several years when positioned next to the fish tank, but has been thriving since it was moved to its own space, with it’s own light in 2025. It has much more variegation now.

Cuban Oregano

Spent the Summer 2025 outside. Brought it home from Nana’s fall 2025.

Croton
