Ahh yes, my poor Whitestar Calathea that gets a spider mite infestation every few months is definitely proof of this. Always the same one. Never anything else around it.

What a beautiful overachiever! I wouldn’t even be mad if it didn’t produce any fruit.

I live in an apartment so my gardening is limited to containers on my balcony as well as a million tropical houseplants. I finally figured out what grows best in my conditions of scorching hot in the morning and nice and cool in the afternoon out there. I’m growing a fig and a dwarf citrus as well as a blueberry bush that is finally not hating the spot I put it in! Otherwise it’s a bunch of succulents out there.

I’m hoping one day to have a real garden but for now I’m having fun with what I can grow both indoors and outdoors.
