I have had some people ask me to post pictures of my plants so here is some of them. This is just a small portion of all that I have. The last time I counted I had 131. I do have some duplicates but the majority of them are all different. I also have vegetable plants outside plus a bunch of flowering plant. Any one else like plants like I do?

Impressive. I'm looking into the species of plants that are safe for pets, I haven't developed the green thumb I want but I'm working on it.

I'm doing my best @velvet53 but I've killed 2 spider plants so far, I want one really bad but I'm not sure what I've done wrong.

@rebelann Don't tell anyone but I have been known to kill a spider plant. You could be over watering it or under watering. It might be in to big of a pot or not a big enough one. If you buy one in a pot that you can see holes in the bottom see if there are roots coming out the holes. If yes than put it into a pot about 2" bigger.

I like plants, but never do good with them, I probably won't get any for awhile.

@CookieMonster46 You need a low maintenance plant. Pothos, spiders, philededrons and snake plants are good ones.

Thanks Hanni. Most of them are in my living room/dining room. There are some in my bedroom and a few in the kitchen. It is crowded with plants here.

Looks like you have a large space to accommodate plants in your house. It's really nice to have those but my house just cannot accommodate any plants since we are in a corner space and less natural light could not pass our unit and plants could not just survive there.

@velvet53 We live in a condo on 5th floor. Unfortunately there is a large wall blocking our view and not letting natural light pass through so its hard for plants to really survive.

@rsa101 Spider plants and pothos can live in areas like that.

I really shouldn't have that many. Right now I have 14 plants in water sitting on the ledge of my living room window. I don't know where I would put them if I put them into dirt.

@wolfgirl569 I know what you mean. A friend called earlier and asked if I could try to bring 2 plants back to life. I had to tell her no as there is no room here.

Those count too if you want to add them in. I didn't want to go out into the heat that is why I didn't put a number for the ones outside.

A lot of people plant them that way. I can't put anything into the soil so I have to use pots for my vegetables. Most of my house plants are in pots also.
