Where did you get the grid? I receive this question very often. The exact address will probably not work for those who don’t live in Bogotá. So in general: I purchased the grid in a local company that produces equipment and furniture for shops and supermarkets. The grid is used normally for displaying goods hanged on hooks. How did you secure the pots to the grid? Another frequent question. So, here’s the answer: I drilled holes in the pots (FRIDFULL and DRUVFLÄDER pots from IKEA) and hung them using metal hooks (KUNGSFORS from IKEA) The pots have only decorative purpose, there is an ordinary plastic pot inserted in the decorative one so that the excess water does not leak. 🌱🌿🌴 . . . . . #realurbanjungle #livingwithplants #greenplants #botanical #houseplantclub #indoorgarden #houseplants #instaplants #plantlife #indoorplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #interiorrewilding #plantstyling #plantgang #instaplant #urbanjunglebloggers #greenliving #terracotta #plantpower #plantsofinstagram #plantlove #plantnerd #plantsmakemehappy #planstagram #plantparenthood #planttherapy #ihavethisthingwithplants #plantscout #crazyplantguy #verticalgarden

A very happy summer solstice guys 🌞🌺🌿 In a bit of an incognito-mode as of late to catch up with life’s demands—so apologies if you’ve been missing my green posts as much as I’ve been missing creating and sharing them with all of you. By the way, today is also #internationalyogaday as it began in 2015 and declared unanimously by the UNGA. Yoga has been another love of mine for a while now. 🧘🏻‍♀️ #wheremyyogagirlsat More on this another time… because just look at the growth on that satin pothos!!! 😍🌱 Did you take the ‘to-prune or to-grow’ poll? Majority said grow, so I let the girls grow. 🤷🏻‍♀️ ‘The girls’ referring to: satin pothos, heartleaf philodendron and columnea gloriosa 🌱🌿☘️ I will be pruning them after today—to clean up the display, stimulate growth and propagate the cuttings. Also, a fun and long-time project is finally coming to fruition, as my husband and I get creative on our backyard oasis (hopefully). I’m a little nervous because I can’t for the life of me, keep grass alive and thriving 😅 Will keep you posted as I update you with the progress of when #mostlythatgreenstuff goes outside. 🙊🙈🌲✨🌝🌳🌌🏕🐿 #wheresthebbqemoji #firstdayofsummer #summerishere #melsshelfie

It took a little magic to get these pink divas ready for the #onwednesdaysweplantpink group shot today. Several where hungover or playing dead last night. Luckily nothing a little water and pep talk couldn't fix 🥰🌸💗🌿 . . #foliagefriday #plantshelfie #caladium #syngonium #pink #coleus #urbanjunglebloggers #plantnerd #plantlife #urbanjungle #indoorplants #plantlover #crazyplantlady #plantaddict #livingwithplants #plantcollection #houseplants #houseplantsofinstagram #houseplantclub #plantsofinstagram #indoorgarden #instaplants #greenthumb #botanical #foliage #plantstagram #house_plant_community #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantsarefriends

Instead of having plants (that should be able to take care of themselves and should be able to stay alive if I’m gone for a week). Summer 2018 feels like having a newborn baby that needs care every three hours 🌞🌿 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Had to rearrange the plant ladder since most of my plants were getting fried. 🔥 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well.. at least the cacti are liking this weather.. ——— ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #plantlady #plantsmakepeoplehappy #houseplants #houseplantclub #houseplantsofinstagram #plantenstudio #crazyplantlady #planthoarder #plants #urbanjunglebloggers #interior #homedecor #plantsarefriends #imaplanthoarder #plantshelfie #urbanjungle #plantgang #apartmenttherapy #plantlove #plantparenthood #indoorplants #plantlovers #plantgoals #jungalowstyle #girlswithplants #plantstagram #greenthumb #Plantmom #interiordesign #shelfie
