Plant mountain is named so because of the necessity to give all my house plants enough light to make it, I had to put all of them in one small space. We have two windows in our apartment, both facing west, so the light’s not all it could be. On the upside, there is a huge white building across the street throwing light at us.
The mountain is surviving well, despite the light issues. I think they like being so close to each other. Some of the plants I’ve had for years and years, others are new to the area. Many of them have dealt with a spider mite quarantine, fungus gnats living it up in the soil, and some kind of lime green, moldy, mushroom growing episode.
So, needless to say, we’ve been through a lot!
