Confession time! I have killed more plants and flowers than I can count, so why am I doing a post on being a plant mom? Well, let me tell you. When Dave and I moved into our house back in March, we started putting each room together and what started as a cute idea of a plant in our shower and then another cute houseplant in the living room has quickly turned into a collection of houseplants.
So, here we are, six months later, and by some miracle I have only lost two of my many houseplants. I like to call this, "trial and error." One was a cactus that I loved too much by over watering and the other was a succulent that needed more sunshine in it's life. In my book, this is a win.
Let's take a look at my low-maintenance plant family! Later on in the post, I'll share a list of my favorite kill-proof houseplants and favorite places for plant shopping!
Let's start with the plant that started it all, the plant on the left is a Golden Pothos. This is a low-maintenance plant that grows quickly! I purchased this as a little plant back in April and the vines were barely over the ledge of the window. Look at it now! #thriving!
Purchasing fresh flowers every week for dining table was getting pricey, so I guess what I decided to do? That's right, search for another houseplant! The plant on the right is a Pin Stripe Calathea. I love the light pink stripes on this one!
The photo on the left is the mother of all house plants, perhaps this is why it's referred to as the Mother-in-Law's Tongue? This is also commonly referred to as a Snake Plant as well. They say this plant can't die, time will tell...
This one might be one of my favorites, probably because the leaf itself is such a fashion trend at the moment...
Commonly known as a Monstera, Swiss Cheese Plant, or Philodendron (or Philodren as I told my mom, which she politely replied, "You mean Philodendron?")
We have this one in our guest bedroom across from a window and it's been doing great!
Just when you didn't think there could be more, here comes a Fiddle Leaf Fig! This is the newest addition, so we're taking it day by day. Apparently you can grow another tree from just one leaf of this plant! Sounds risky to me.
One thing I love about living in Texas is that cactus not only thrive here, but are also a required home decor item. I'm actually not sure what type of cactus is in the photo above, I loved the light green color and it was a great price for a cactus of that size!
I take my love for Cactus very seriously! The cactus above is a Snow Cactus since it's covered in a light, white fuzz. Although this looks soft, I wouldn't advise touching it!
And a small shout-out for a cute home decor or gift item for the plant lover. This cactus and succulents poster was purchased for our home from Oasis Plant Shop in the Bishop Arts District in Dallas.
And what post on houseplants would be complete without some love for those low-key succulents?! The green succulent in the photo on the left was actually a plant from our Deep Ellum apartment that lived on our window sill. The Plant Bar at Flea Style is a great place to get some cute containers and accessories for your succulents!

FAVORITE PLANT SHOPS - BIG & SMALL!
Most of my plants were purchased here along with the pots and containers! Located in the sweetest little house in Bishop Arts!
Greatest selection of cactus and succulents in Dallas here!
The Plant Bar is a new addition to the Flea Style store for 2019. A lovely place to find a plant baby for yourself or a friend!

Easy if you're in a crunch or need several plants on a budget!
