Before and After

 

 

Before I ordered more plants. Really plain and somewhat boring at this point. 



 


 

Plants Watering Guide

 


Damp-but-not-soggy lovers

  • Sauron – Calathea 'Black Rose' 4" → Likes evenly moist soil; let top 1/4" dry before watering again.

  • Frodo – Callisia "Pink Panther" Mini 2" → Prefers soil slightly moist; avoid waterlogging.

  • Rosie – Hypoestes Pink Splash 2" → Keep soil lightly damp; too dry dulls the pink color.

  • Boromir – Peperomia Red 2" → Likes slightly damp soil; overwatering can rot roots.

  • Aragorn – Peperomia Red/Green Stripes 2" → Same as Boromir; let top of soil dry a little.

  • Faramir – Peperomia Green 2" → Damp soil, no soggy conditions.

  • Legolas – Neon Pothos 2" → Likes soil lightly damp, not waterlogged.

  • Saruman – Pothos ‘N Joy’ 2" → Same; prefers top inch to dry between waterings.

    Rosie - Hypoestes Pokla Dot "Pink Splash" -  likes even moisture; keep soil consistently damp but never waterlogged.

  • Shelob - Spider-plant - prefers slightly moist soil, but can tolerate brief drying.

    Plants that enjoy occasional misting:

  • Calathea ‘Black Rose’ (Sauron) – loves higher humidity; a light mist keeps its leaves looking vibrant and prevents edges from browning.

  • Peperomias (Boromir, Faramir, Aragorn) – generally like moderate humidity; misting can help in dry indoor air but avoid overdoing it.

  • Pothos ‘N Joy’ (Saruman) and Neon Pothos (Legolas) – tolerant, but a light mist can freshen their leaves.

  • Hypoestes Pink Splash (Rosie) – loves humidity; misting can enhance the vibrancy of the leaves.

  • Dracaena marginata (Smaug) – prefers occasional leaf misting to wipe off dust, especially on indoor leaves.

    Hypoestes Pokla Dot "Pink Splash" (Rosie) - 

  •  

  • Shelob – Spider Plant 2" → Likes soil evenly moist; tolerate short dry spells but not standing water.


Quick watering tip:

  • Check soil with your finger: if the top 1–2 cm feels dry, it’s time to water.

  • Make sure pots have drainage holes, and saucers don’t let water sit at the bottom.

  • These plants thrive in bright indirect light combined with consistent moisture.
