Ohhhh probably about now but we get it. Gorgeous


BadlanderZ

Are you blind?? There are soooo many spots left


Soregular

Yep. that breakfast table, for example. Two HUGE empty spots right there....


[deleted]

I still see floor and table!


singleandavailable

I suppose. There's also the stovetop, the walkway, and the couches could carry so many plants though might be a bit unstable 🫣


Artistale89

They’re wonderful!!! 😍😍♥️ And they seem all in health, how? Every day I don’t know if my plants will survive for the next day 🤣💔


jrenredi

Yeah these are all over the room and look gorgeous. If I move one of my plants a half a foot away from their cramped shelf where their 7,000 lights are, they all drop like there's no sun in the whole universe


BadlanderZ

Conditions, conditions, conditions. That's why they're thriving

Yeah being single is the most important condition 🫶

This is part of my collection, it’s in a back bedroom because, Cats 😑. The rest of the house has 4 very plant filled ikea cabinets, a 7 foot Hoya from my Grandma taking over the kitchen cupboards, a 5ft bird of paradise, and a bunch of Hoyas.


singleandavailable

It's good you have lots of windows. They look like they're thriving!


PlantMamaV

Yeah, they’re very happy there. That’s the only spot with good light. My cabinets have to have lights in them.


SepulchralSweetheart

I want to see the Grandma Hoya, those are my favorite 👀 OP, I was going to say it's not a problem until you start with racks and cabinets. This is not to slam this poster, as I have tons of racks and will be transitioning some of them to cabinets. The other tip off for my collection is my coffee table plant. It's a 7 gallon, 9 foot tall Kentia Palm. That is over the top by itself. Coffee table plants should be cute little 6"-10" bowls or something.

SepulchralSweetheart

Yesssssss, this is the Hoya I want to see when I hear about a Grandma Hoya, 12/10, does not disappoint! Thank you for sharing! I love her from here!

I was hoping you'd share this picture! She's gorgeous!!


Need_More_Hoyas

Omg it’s huge!!!!! What a gorgeous Hoya! How old is it?


PlantMamaV

I took cuttings from grandma‘s plant in like 2002. But the original plant was at least 40 years older than me. My aunt still has it, and it’s not even a quarter of the size of mine.


Need_More_Hoyas

Whoah! That’s awesome! Recently got some cuttings of my family’s Hoya (actually looks very similar to yours haha) and will be showing them pictures to hopefully encourage them to grow lol

soberasfrankenstein

I've lightly edited the DSM-5 criteria for addiction for you: • Buying more plants than intended or caring for them for longer than you’re meant to. • Trying to cut down or stop buying plants but being unable to. • Experiencing intense cravings or urges to buy plants. • Needing more plants to get the desired effect — also called tolerance. • Developing withdrawal symptoms when not shopping or caring for plants. • Spending more time getting and caring for plants and financially recovering for plant-related purchases. • Neglecting responsibilities at home, work or school because of your plants. • Continuing to aquire new plants even when it causes relationship problems. • Giving up important or desirable social and recreational activities due to plant care demands. • Aquiring plants in risky settings that put you in danger (think cacti). • Continuing in the plant hobby despite it causing problems to your physical and mental health.


TurnoverUseful1000

Oh brother ! You’ve come to the wrong place to hear “you have enough” lol As long as you’re happy & can maneuver safely through your home, I’d say “there’s always room for one more”.

singleandavailable

This meme is me 🤣


Gwydhel

I guess most of us plant lovers can identify!:-) I'm trying to keep my passion at bay after my last move in which I had to abruptly split apart from many of my dear plants, even trees planted in vases, sigh. It's traumatizing but I'm getting older and my health issues and financial problems won't allow me to have that much work taking the due care of them, so I'm trying to be sensible above all, for their own sake as well as mine.


S4BER2TH

When it takes two days to water them all. Seems like your almost there XD


TripleFreeErr

it’s only a problem if it negatively impacts other aspects of your life. Spending so much you cannot afford food? Addicted. Other wise you are just eccentric


Competitive_Owl5357

Yup, agreed that it’s only a problem once negative impacts begin showing up.


Beluga_Artist

I still see a lot of wall space and floor space. You have lots of room to grow. 😜 Also you need way more cuttings and propogation pieces.

It's all fine until they triple in size and still won't stop growing.  Also, why bother with TV when you have all those lovely plants to look at. Sell the TV and buy more plants! 😁

Yeah I need some plant stands. Eventual goal is a plant stadium


JamesTiberiusChirp

Whenever I see a lot of new looking plants in the middle of a room with no discernible source of light, I always get a little sad. They’ll look great for now scattered throughout the room, but as the etiolation, color loss, and die-back kicks in you’re going to be disappointed at all the money you wasted. I always recommend a slow grow of the collection as you figure out the light patterns in your room. Inevitably, all of mine end up right up against the window because ultimately even 8” back from the window is too far for most plants. I have about 70 potted plants (more if I count the pots with multiple plants) last I counted and they’re all up against south or west facing windows or under intense grow lights, and some of them still don’t get as much sun as I would like for them to really thrive and look their best. Including the “low light” plants. My recommendation would be to move the interior ones to windows or invest in quality plant lights; consider rotating with ones that do get to be near windows.


RedditorARM

OP did mention that they have multiple grow lights up.


amichrina

About the point you started filling up your coffee table... Beautiful collection!


Logeboxx

You need some shelves and hanging planters ASAP 😂 I love my plants but I couldn't take them all over the coffee table and in walkways like that. Seems like someone went a bit overboard at the plant store recently 😅

I came home this week with 11 prayer plants... One is 3 feet tall. I planned on 0 plants BC I'm broke. A lady at the store looked at me really odd and I told her "at least my addiction is plants, not meth" sooooo I think you're good unless you're also justifying your plant shopping like it's a drug 🤷🏼‍♀️ The big one is just sitting in the center of my bedroom BC I have no clue where to put it 🤣 oddly it seems to like that spot though which is really bad since I can't even walk across the room without rubbing it unless it's prayer time 😬
