Show Us Your HousePlants In Bloom Now 2023/2024

Looking a little bit straggly, I left it out in the porch for a bit too long when the freeze struck, but at least its flowering this year.
Plectranthus mona lavender.

 

Looking quite healthy though Pete.

 

Happy New Year! I don't post that often, but very happy for my 2 cattleyas:

 

Lovely @Alisa ! Are they fragrant? I know some of them have a lemony scent. Sadly I killed mine due to too low humidity on window sill.

 

Small pastel lilac not fragrant at all, but green one ("Green Hairy Pig") is suppposed to be fragrant, but it just started opening today, no fragrance yet. I find cattleyas going hard for me. It's the first time little one flowered for me. And the first time I could get proper undamaged flower on the green one. I think this year was good for cattleyas.

 

Some Cyclamens (and Peperomia flowers in the background) ...









This Peperomia obtusifolia has been flowering since October ...



Ficus microcarpa in the back, looking rather sorry for itself, until I repot it

 

The only 'houseplant' that doesn't seem to mind the low light levels in the house....although he spends most of the year outside

 

Lovely cymbidium @noisette47 !

 

He had 5 flower spikes last year, but I've only just found out that, contrary to what I've always believed, orchids do need feeding So he's getting the odd fix of Miracle Gro...

 

Do you @noisette47 and @CarolineL split your cymbidiums very often, as I understand it a bulb only flowers once so I tend to split them and discard the old bulbs , although I think you can use them for propagation if you want to.
I have three pots of the same one now, so not short on propagation material for that one.

 

I've only had mine for 2 years. I repotted it but didn't split it..I'm a wuss Given the size of the clay pot, though, and the weight, splitting is definitely on the agenda this year!

 

Hi @pete. No I tend not to split so that I get more spikes. I didn't think that the bulbs only flowered once - and I've been growing them over 50 years! I'll have to check. I remove the back bulbs if they've lost their leaves and use them for propagation if they're still firm. They normally produce a new growth if kept more moist.
Here's 3 I've brought in from greenhouse to enjoy inside - and keep mice from nipping the flowers. They are standard, intermediate and miniature.

 

@CarolineL I noticed that the last picture shows two flower spikes from one bulb but what I meant was, is that bulb likely to flower next year.

Once a pot gets full it's not easy to tell where the flowers are coming from.

I will split mine this year, they have some rotten back bulbs.
If you want some bulbs of a yellow one let me know.

 

Nice! Yes, I sometimes get 2 spikes from a bulb if I've remembered to feed them! But I didn't realise that older healthy bulbs didn't reflower. You're tempting me with backbulbs... But I think my standard one is yellow, so no thank you.
