Potted plants, potted plants and even more potted plants

The photo show two areas of our house-sit and some of the pot plants within it. In front of the TV are just some of the 35 pots that I have counted in the kitchen/dining/lounge area. There are also about six or eight plants that are growing in containers of water. This house has a lot of simple wooden furniture too. One distressed piece can be seen in the top photo. Some of the lady’s awards can be seen on the wall above. She is an endurance rider and a very successful one.

She certainly is a plant lover. I used to have so many, too, but not anymore.

Every room has at least a few and there are many more on the verandahs.

@JudyEv I’m sure she is enjoying every single plant. Mine kept multiplying, so when we moved, I took them all out of my screened in porch and from the living room, etc. and gave them to friends and to my father. Now, I only grow herbs and cacti in my window garden. I’m too afraid of ruining the wood floors in my house.

@DianneN I hear what you're saying. There are tiles and carpet here and the pots all have bases which is very sensible.

Wow! Looks beautiful. You must have a good green thumb. I like the furnishings in the area with the hearty looking plants. I'm not much of a green thumb but I enjoy my Zugo cactus which doesn't need much watering and little sunlight. It sprouts maybe bi annually. And it's pretty when it does

The plants aren't mine. I'm afraid I don't have a green thumb at all. I'm hoping I can keep all these alive for a week while the owner is away.

It appears that she enjoys adding plants to her home. On the top shot, there is only one withered plant. I'm not sure if it needs to be worked on or if it simply needs to be placed in a sunny location to be able to regain its leaves. Overall, having a room full with plants is pleasant.

@JudyEv I dunno it looks tattered and dry to me. I think it should look green, especially the new leaf. But of course I am not sure about it. It looks like an Abaca plant to me.

The plant will have to wait till she returns. It's doesn't look too bad to me. Hopefully, it's supposed to be like that.

@rsa101 Do you mean the one on the cabinet on the right? It has a couple of battered-looking leaves but the soil is damp so there isn't much I can do for it.

Bringing the outdoors indoors! Actually, I’ve read that having several plants in the house helps with clean air and emotional wellbeing.

It's a lovely home and the plants make it seem well-loved. Are there potted plants in other rooms, too?

Yes, there are nine in the main bedroom, four in ours and another nine in the office. And a few in the bathrooms and other bedroom.

They don't need water every day but I get a bit anxious about them. Too much water is as bad as not enough so tomorrow I'll only water the ones that feel dry.

@JudyEv Yes but not quite as many because this room has the best conditions. But yes, several in our bedroom, a couple in the bathroom, several in the lounge and quite a few on the landing too.

@Fleura Sometimes I think I'd like some in our house but there aren't many 'light' corners and not much room either.

I love plants. They are beautiful, peaceful and can fill in decor areas "things" just can't. With my kitty, I can't have any or she thinks they are food. The house you are sitting is lovely.

Perhaps some time in the future you'll have a bit more time to look after plants. Some of the furniture is quite basic but I'm sure it's from choice.

Our cats never bothered any of Mum's plants. They would have got scolded if she'd caught them. Or maybe they just had other things to do.

They do have alot of plants. I had alot of plants at our home in the rural village. I had alot that grew large and had to be separated into smaller containers, it took a long time for me to water, but we had the cleanest indoor air of any home we have ever lived in.

@JudyEv I enjoy it also, but I have less space in our current home so have to keep a lower number of plants. I did bring in a couple of geraniums last fall, just to see if I can revive them in February and then put them back out to bloom in the spring. One of the plants appeared to be frozen when I brought it in, but it has rallied and has green leaves on it, but it is covered by a paper bag to keep it dormant.

@Juliaacv Geraniums here wouldn't need to go dormant and they don't. Our new place doesn't have much room for plants either.

every time I plant mango seeds it always fails. because there are many small children around the house and they disturb it like pouring soapy water and cutting the branches. that's why I stop planting plants.
