My name is El, and I have always been surrounded by plants. My original interest in succulents and the fun in propagating them led me to creating my dream indoor garden. Over the years, I began to collect more plant varieties, and I currently have over 250 plants growing year-round indoors. My collection consists of a wide variety of houseplants and succulents. Plants bring me so much joy and excitement, especially when I wake up in the morning and find new growth or a flower beginning to form.
Plants, plants everywhere! Beautiful air plants (Tillandsia species) are framed as a living piece of art in the center of this image.
Burro’s tail (Sedum morganianum) tumbles out of its pot with silvery foliage.
Variegated heartleaf philodendron (Philodendron hederaceum) has green leaves painted with a broad splash of yellow in the center.
Shelves in front of the window are filled with a fascinating collection of plants.
The cluster of flowers on this Echeveria laui is such a beautiful sight.
The foliage of Monstera deliciosa ‘Thai Constellation’, is dramatic. Each leaf is enormous and speckled with white variegation.
Plants are climbing up the walls and tumbling down from pots to turn this indoor space into a jungle.
On a full plant shelf, the dark leaves of an African mask (Alocasia × amazonica) stand out with their bold silver edges and veins.
Silver pothos (Scindapsus pictus) lives up to its name with bright silver leaves.
Philodendeon micans has velvety reddish leaves trailing around a happy terrarium full of lush moss.
