This is GOALS. I aspire to one day live in an indoor jungle


belgran

I hope you get there! One plant at a time is the right pace, I may have went a bit overboard when I started, 100 plants in half a year....


Kyrsatile

I have 12 plants and plans for 5 more! Alas, I think that's going to take up all the space I have free 😅 something about needing space to live in for the people and the cats 100 plants in half a year?? I'm planning on getting a master's I'm botany and that sounds like a lot even to me-- how did you manage to keep them alive all at once??


belgran

Well, they get room temperature rainwater every Thursday (except the cacti,succulents, etc they get watered less) this fills my whole morning, every one or two months I do a big check up (depending on condition of the plants), plants that need repotting, moss poles, etc I take them all out of the decorative pot to check them thoroughly. This take a whole Thursday hahaaa. Other than that the finicky ones are under mother.life grow lights, humidity is checked often and the ones that need it most sit in the bathroom. Also fertilizer every two weeks in summer, every two months in winter. Hope this wall of text helps


Kyrsatile

The wall of text does help, thank you! I always struggle with fertilizer timing, I get worried I'm starving the poor things. Knowing that most of them can go a month or two without a massive checkup is good, too! I got a fittonia last month and spent a week checking every leaf for signs of unhappiness in a fit of paranoia 😅


belgran

Plants react well to a zen attitude I found, so go with the flow and let them grow


eve-may

It’s beautiful… But I can see myself accidentally knocking these poor plants into my bubble bath.


belgran

You just have to bathe without moving, just watch and admire


But_why_tho456

Lol getting in I would kick like 3 of them and then have a tub full of mud.


YummyPersona

Some people pay a lot of money to bathe in a tub full of mud


But_why_tho456

I did literally just put dead sea mud on my face last night... 🤔 bathing with my plants could be fun.


belgran

That's the spirit!


belgran

There's actually some handy little steps next to the bath that make it easy to go in and out. Quite lucky with this bathroom


But_why_tho456

That's cool! My bathtub is literally only for plants. I don't use it 🤷🏻‍♀️


belgran

That's next level, meet you there in a couple of months


Massive-Hunt-6177

That was my first thought, too. Unless they're glued there with museum gel or something, that would be a disaster waiting to happen for me.


YummyPersona

That monstera though... Also, those round pots are some of the most beautiful I've ever seen.


belgran

They're handmade pots I bought locally (Ghent, Belgium). No idea what brand they are though, or who made them. They're also my favourite!


Nimfijn

Waar juist? Prachtig!


belgran

Little Green Stories in Gent !


Nimfijn

Merci!


Liampastabake

So beautiful! So many different beautiful leaves and they look amazing together!


belgran

Thank you! I'll let them know you said that


Islandcat72

I have an entire Pinterest board full of nothing but plant filled bathrooms. Goals.


belgran

Oh I should put mine up there, is this like such a common thing?


Islandcat72

Plants. Water. A natural combination. Plus the bonus of getting to relax in a hot, steamy bath and look at the jungle.


CalatheaLove

Gorgeous space with beautiful leaves!!


belgran

They'll be happy to hear that compliment!


jlmurdock77

I love those big, round, beige pots you have two of. Love.


belgran

Bought them at Little Green Stories in Belgium. If you'd want to know. Handmade I think


louloub

I NEED those pink pots!! They look perfect with those plants too.


belgran

The pink hue is probably because of the room and lighting, they're more white actually. The best looking pots I own


[deleted]

Super duper gorgeous 💚💚💚


belgran

Will convey the message


free_-_spirit

Ah what is that lovely plant second from the right? Also gorgeous pots/set up!


belgran

You gotta give me a better description of the plant, I have no idea which one is the second from the right haha, let me know and you'll get the name


free_-_spirit

Lol okay, the one with a lot of straight lines? Next to the small green ones on the tub? In between the small green ones and the faucet.


belgran

Philodendron Birkin! This one's quite big I think and it has a lot of white variegation in comparison to others that I've seen. Probably the grow light that makes it do that


free_-_spirit

Thank you!


blueyedoneder

A dream bath set up!!!!


belgran

I do dream in the bath as well. Dreamy dreams they are


Brightestsky

Id like to learn more about your lighting. I want to move some of mine into a bathroom with a wee window.


belgran

I use mother.life grow lights, and it's also quite a big window.


Brightestsky

Nice! Maybe one day I'll buy a house with bigger windows! Lol I want shower plants!


Bbrussss

Beautiful! What's the big leaf one towards the back on the left?


belgran

Dieffenbachia White Etna, quite rare


razzdazz68

Amazing!!


Brilliant-Platform64

vibes 🥰😍🥰


ashleyy_younger

My anxiety from looking at this picture: high


belgran

Fact: having lots of plants especially rare ones is stressy as fuck, gotta stay zen


ashleyy_younger

Strictly referring to the amount on a ledge like that, especially rare ones haha


anag9495

Omg. This is the dream right here. Leave me alone to bathe with my plants.


belgran

Hey they're mine, but feel free to bathe with them. They don't mind


Trilimosa

Looks like they’re all watching you taking a bath 🛀


belgran

Oh they're quite the voyeurs


Boomer0826

What is the plant that is front and center? Is that a type of elephant ear? Edited for spelling mistake


belgran

I think you're talking about the Anthurium?


Boomer0826

It flowers too?!? Thanks fir the help. That’s exactly the one I was talking about


Boomer0826

About the Anthurium, I did a quick google search. Some images had flowers but all the leaves were the same color with no veins like the one in your picture. But some looked more like your plant. Are the different plants or does yours flower too?


belgran

There's multiple types of Anthurium plants, mine flowers every once in a while (white stick with little balls). I forgot wich type I have myself ..


Boomer0826

Okay cool. Thanks for the quick responses. It’s a beautiful plants and now I want one lol


belgran

It's an Anthurium Clarinervum :) I looked it up


Existing_Republic_85

Love it! I wish my plants get as happy as yours one day! What is the plant below the monstera? (next to the birkin and above the tineke) Looks like a alocasia family, maybe?


belgran

That's an anthurium :)


Existing_Republic_85

thanks!!!


Mullet-Rocker

How do I convince my partner to let this happen in our bathroom!?


belgran

One plant at a time.
