Only in Bucks County: Happy Houseplants

I know my blog is supposed to be about Bucks County, well, this post is about a house in Bucks County that has happy plants! I’ve never been interested in having houseplants until we moved into our forever home, which turns out to be just perfect for them!

                                                              

When my best friend came to see the fixer upper my husband and I purchased in 2016, she walked in and almost immediately exclaimed, "It has good bones!"

I think it also has "good lighting" or "good humidity", or the right exposure, or whatever plants need to grow and be happy, because all of our plants are doing really well, and I keep adding to our collection. 

Add in the pandemic with us being home more often; blasting Country music while I cook, dancing to Salsa music on Saturday nights, and listening to the Rock and Roll of our high school years during game night... and they’re thriving!

Who ever thought I’d have a green thumb? Aside from a regular weekly watering, I don’t know what I’m doing. Maybe it just takes... happiness... for them to be happy. 

Fun fact: My sister in law names all her houseplants.

(I’m not that crazy... YET!)

Currently, she has two “Money Trees” she's named "Daddy Warbucks"

and "Jeff Bezos".

A trio of herb plants in her Kitchen window named Monkey, Tarzan, and Jane. 

An air plant that is only to be misted that she calls "Misty",

and an Aloe plant named VERA!

Here’s some more of our green gang in their natural habitat:

Pictured below is our newest addition. I do feel like I should name it! :-) 

 It’s Richard’s Valentines Day gift, which I’ve had hiding on a sunny windowsill

behind a larger plant for about a week now. 

It was the last one at the store, and I just had to have it! I know he’ll love it too. 

Happy Valentines Day everyone!
