Our special house plants

My three repeat-flowering orchids, putting on a beautiful show at the New Year 2022. I don’t know the names of these orchids but it doesn’t prevent me from loving them.

Calathea orbifolia is supposed to be hard to grow but ours is thriving. Just keep it damp with an occasional spray. Syngonium Arrow just keeps on growing in our bathroom! Spathiphylium Peace Lily - we usually have difficulty in getting a Peace Lily to flower again but this one is doing just fine!

These are two of my more unusual houseplants. The Krinkle Rose (Syngonium Podophylum) has a delicate pink/pale green, papery effect. Easy to look after, it doesn't mind if you forget to water it! The smaller plant of Fishbone Cactus (Disocactus anguliger or Epiphyllum anguliger) is a cutting from the photo of the mature plant. It now has two buds which are about to flower. The added bonus is the flowers have a lovely smell, even though its called Fishbone Cactus!
