Introducing my plant children 🌿🌿🌿

One important thing to know about me is that I like plants, actually I really love plants. I got my first house plants about 5 years ago and the collection has been growing ever since. I began mostly with cacti and succulents but I'm slowly becoming more of a leafy tropical plant gal. Today I'm going to share allllll of my plants here because they are looking particularly glorious thanks to all the sun we've had, and also it will be fun to look back on and see how much they change over time. 

Old man cactus (Cephalocereus senilis)

Devil's ivy / Pothos (Epiprumnum aureus)
Hoya carnosa variegata
Cactus seedlings at 44 days old

Spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum)
String of buttons (Crassula perforata variagata)
From left: an unknown cactus and succulent, my housemate's Wandering Jew (Tradescantia zebrina),
and a Kalanchoe purple scallops (Bryophyllum fedtschenkoi). 
Bird's nest fern (Asplenium nidus)
Another cactus (I need to learn to identify them lol) with many propagated baby Echeverias
Haworthia limifolia
Monstera deliciosa
Dancing bones (Hatiora salicornioides)
Lipstick plant (Aeschynanthus radicans)
Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera truncata)

There's always lots of propagating going on! Mostly String of buttons and Echeverias here, but there is one Jelly bean plant (Sedum patchyphyllum), and a String of pearls
More Kalanchoes
Tradescantia purple flame
A terrarium I made last year, the plants really need repotting. Includes a barrel cactus (Echinocactus grusonii),
and a Snake plant (Sansevieria cylindrica), amongst a few others
Arrowhead plant (Syngonium podophyllum)
Peace lily (Spathiphyllum)
Snake plant (Sansevieria trifasciata)
Baby Jade plant (Crassula ovata)
String of pearls (Senecio rowleyanus)
A geranium cutting from my grandparents' garden

Another cactus, more Kalanchoes, a barrel cactus, a Sempervivum cutting, and a Gasteria "Hogwarts"
Random plant I picked up for free, maybe it's a rose?
My beloved hydrangea which I grew from a cutting last summer
Sedum tetractinum "Coral reef"
Sempervivum arachnoideum 
Another random plant I picked up for free
So that's all (actually I even have a couple more plants but they live back home with my mum lol), I hope you enjoyed having a peek at my collection! Next time I update it will be more like this:
