Monstera |
Lately, I have had a desire to set up a fish tank. I haven't had one since I was a teenager. More information about the hobby is available now and I think I could be a better keeper of fish than I was in the past. This desire has come up many times over the years and the cons of the hobby always win. They have won again this time however; I have decided to funnel the desire towards house plants.

Another type of Monstera |
Many tropical house plants grow in Costa Rica and on our property. I have always admired seeing them in their natural setting. There are many types of montsera, pothos and philodendros growing impressively large on different trees.

Ferns and Begonia

I haven't even begun to identify the different ferns and begonias that grow here as well. I have decided to wander the property and take cuttings of some of these plants in hopes I can get them to grow as house plants.
