Plant stands revisited almost a year later

Last year I shared my vintage plant stands and how small all my plants were. I cannot believe it, but it's roughly a year later and they are all alive and thriving. I also have a few new additions too.


Can you believe how insane my geranium is?! It's too big and heavy for the plant stand so I am currently trying to find it a home, for now the chair works. 


I love succulents. I am bad with names (as always) But the little grouping of four in the right - all i can think of are elephant feet for some reason. like someone buried an elephant upside down with his feet sticking in the air. These are all new. I think we got them just a couple weeks ago so nothing too exciting going on with them right now.



Most have just gotten so big that they are too big for the stand so Kevin put some on top of my yarn cabinet (it's a mess- don't look in there! hah you can see the reflection of my super awesome bike) My jade plant has been transplanted I think three times now. It's loving its now large pot. 

Now for the biggest change...


For lack of room, Kevin has moved his plants up here. He is growing aquarium plants and will be launching a new business very soon.

Here is just one example of what he will be selling. They are so cool, I can't wait for him to launch his shop. I'll keep you all posted:


Do you have lots of plants? I honestly cannot believe these are all still alive. It's probably a lot because of the mister and him keeping up on them though too! 

In the fall we are hoping to get a jump start and get back working on the renovations in the house. Once the house starts to get completed, room by room, more plants will be added. I keep finding all these amazing planters and just want to buy them all!

Your round plant stand is super cool! All of your vegitation looks so happy and healthy. I love the way plants liven up a house. I mostly have cactus because my cat is an idiot and likes to get into things. I do have one leafy plant, (my grandma calls it a wandering something or other) that is growing like crazy in a nook near some sky lights. I wish we could have as many as you guys!

we really never had plants in the house because we had cats that liked to eat them, plus i always seemed to kill everything i touched. but with the misters help- they are thriving. i cant wait to fill all the rooms with plants.
Your plants all look so happy! Lucky you to have good windows and he room for a large light stand! I am also an insane gardener and plant collector with windows and gardens full to bursting. Keep up the good work!

oh nice- yeah we are hoping that when we get around to the kitchen renovations that one area will just be windows ging around the 2 sides- we'll see- but ohh. the light it would bring in- imagine all the plants!
My goodness!! You are a plant machine. Ian would ADORE your home. He is a plant lover. I love having them, as well, as long as someone else will take care of them. I hate the responsibility. We have some of the same succulents. We have the elephant feet one and the one on the opposite side of the pot, which is called Baby Toes. Gotta love that name.

Kevin's business idea sounds awesome. I wish him all the success in the world.
