House Plants: Advice, Pics, Sell and Trade

I've had a chilli plant inside for about a year or so. so far got two actual chilli's growing and lots of flowers

Weirdly, we had great success with chillies grown from the seeds you get with your bill at Wahaca (the restaurant). Then the next year we got some speciality chilli varieties from a supplier and they were bonk. No fruits!

We put virtually no effort into the first lot, then great care and attention in to the second. Sad!

Mine doesn't have flowers yet. I can't wait to start tickling.

I think chillis can self-pollinate too.

Chinese money plant seems to love cuttings. Happy to give some away if people are into that...

I'm E17, will pot some this weekend. Anyone who wants to drop by is welcome to them.

ive tried that before. guess i need to work on my tickling skills. ive got a chilli plant that has flowered already so keen for the fruit to set

Yep, I've got mine from The Nunhead gardener

I've begun farming some butterflies in a shoebox as livestock to pollinate my chillies.

Anyone ever tried "three sisters" in a confined urban gardening environment (a.k.a balcony)? I'd love to try it!

I've got a couple of peace lillies, a poinsettia and a few orchids I've rescued off of workmates. Our company decorates our meeting rooms with them, when they replenish them they give them away to the employees. Everyone takes one and sticks them on their desks and that's where they stay, not getting sunlight, not getting water so I've started taking them off people.

Squash need space, they don't like being er... squashed.

Also very hungry.

Sounds cool. Though "rotten fish or eels" can >>>>>
Unless the flies it generates are pollinating-types?

Our Kentia Palm is leaning a bit. I suspect it is going towards the light (thought these liked shade?). Presumably I just turn it every so-often or give it a dose of being in the window?

I'm a local and am always partial to a spider plant - can nip by with a cutting of something if you like...

Yes, sure; do call by. Will pm address.

I have many many Easter and Christmas cacti. I'm SE6 if anyone wants any segments to grow from. Can offer jade segments too. I hoard plants like I hoard bikes.

Essential reading in case you haven't already seen it; a wiki chart of air-filtering plants from the NASA Clean Air Study:

I'd like some jade plant, can exchange for a baby succulent. No rush though, bit busy at the mo...

Cool, let me know when works for you.

I've also got some Aloe aristata - good for burns and a little bit different:

These babies. From Budgens E Finchley. The big boy at the back I've had for 2 years. Just reported all of them to slightly larger pots.

A plant. Growing in a house. My house. We had a damp problem.

Eat it.

Huh?. Eat my own houseplant? That would be like eating the dog. Anyway it dried up and fell off.
