OK I admit. I have a houseplant "problem"
I have about 20 at the moment. Most are large sized in 10"+ sized pots, so are floor plants. I have a few tabletop top, too.

Right now I have my Christmas cactus in the "sick bay" (under plant lights) I abused them a bit too much so I'm nursing them back to health. More expensive than tossing and getting new plants. *sigh* I just don't have the heart to throw them away.

Oh if only all plants were as forgiving as my lucky bamboo. LOL

I just absolutely love plants. I keep hoping to win an ebay auction for one of these. My mom had one when I was a kid and I want one so bad. But the auctions always go way too high. Usually go for like $200. I just can't justify it.

Right now I have 24 plants in pots, and am making 2 more from cuttings. I wish I had more floor plants, but in time that will come..I had lost some due to neglect or who knows what.
I know I'll have enough when I'm content with all I have or dh threatens to "feed them with roundup" Yes he teases me with that one...but one of these days I'm sure he will say that I might have enough.

I have about 10 upstairs of varying types, but the basement is a different story. Dave has about 60 carnivorous plants of varying types in tanks.

I have 12 flower plants in my upstairs balcony of my home. I have purchased it from the New Jersey city. The reason is that all of that I have bought in reasonable price with good condition and I am take care of it regularly.
