In reply to Scoops. Thank you so much. I will look them up and see if I can find them to buy.

In reply to Alison G. I will try, Alison! Here are a few other options you could look into that tolerate low-light: Hoya, Heart Shaped Philodendron, Monstera, and Boston Fern. Hope that helps :)

Katrina, it was absolutely they worst. Like, I couldn’t believe it was real. It’s one of those nightmare experiences that you think are just too bad to actually happen to people. We were so lucky to have made it to Seattle and salvage our trip, but it was possible because another crucial flight was delayed – still cost us big. Nothing like seeing your very thoughtfully planned and scheduled trip fall apart before your eyes. I’m sure you experienced the same lack of ‘give a shit’ that we did, hope you were able to make the most of your trip after it happened.

In reply to Meredith. I bet it is huge and beautiful now! I think I need to repot all of mine this summer, it's good to hear that they take well to being repotted!

In reply to Lindsey. Oh man, I'll have to send my husb-o on a man hunt, I have a strong aversion to confrontation. It would be nice to get reimbursed for the money we had to spend on booking with another airline on the SAME DAY! Thanks for the tip :)

I am glad to see a low light plant featured. Sadly our house is on the low light side. More low light plants please. This one is now on my shopping list.

I love these plant posts, but I’m here to commiserate with you about Frontier. We had a missed connection disaster experience with them last year. THE WORST. Glad the rest of your vacation went well and I can’t wait to read about it!

I have nothing resembling a green thumb so when we moved into our house 5 years ago and friends of ours gave us one of these plants for a house warming I told them not to be offended if it wasn’t alive the next time they came over as I tend to kill green things pretty quickly. My friend told me that this plant was practically un-killable as she had left hers at her office with no natural light and no watering for a year while she was on maternity leave and it still lived! She was right, this is the greatest plant and not only is it still alive but it is thriving in my house! I have repotted it in a larger pot and it just continues to grow and look amazing even if I forget to water it for over a month!

So lame about Frontier! I have a friend who works for an airline (a good one–not Frontier), and she has told us that any time we have a problem with the airline to be sure to Tweet at them or post and tag them in other social media. They try to keep their social media clean, and you can typically hear from someone faster than calling and waiting on hold. I hope they’re able to make it somewhat right!
And thanks for all these great plant posts. You have singlehandedly helped me improve my outdoor living space, and I will definitely be on the hunt for some of these indoor plants too!
