Last year, I set a goal to create a living wall—a lush, green plant backdrop—and today, I’m thrilled to say that dream has finally come to life! 🎉 It’s not overly extravagant, but it’s a beautiful mix of turtle vines, wandering dew, pothos, and months of dedication (read: lots of watering). Seeing it thrive has been such a rewarding journey!

But that’s not all! Another dream has blossomed into reality: I finally have a Calathea White Fusion! 🪴 After a year of hesitating and battling a little self-doubt, I took the plunge, and now, the queen of prayer plants—the ultimate diva—is proudly part of my collection. And what better way to showcase her stunning beauty than with a photo against my very own living wall? 🌿✨ Dreams do come true, one plant at a time!

I have so much love for Calatheas—they never fail to amaze me! From their vibrant, colorful undersides to their foliage that looks like it belongs in a gallery, every detail feels like a masterpiece. Sure, they’ve earned their reputation as “diva plants,” but let me tell you (from a year of totally-not-expert experience!), once you understand how to genuinely care for them, it’s a game-changer. It’s like love on repeat: the more you give, the more these beauties give back. 🪴💚

I never imagined I could be this patient and nurturing until I started caring for these finicky yet fascinating plants. They challenge you, no doubt—but the rewards? Oh, they’re worth every moment. It’s the kind of love that shapes you, strengthens you, and helps you grow right alongside them. 🌱✨

Love truly begets love. 💚

And now, here I am, a proud plant momma to 20 stunning varieties of Calathea. Each one is uniquely beautiful, and in my eyes, they’re all absolute treasures. Being a plant parent is truly a journey of growth, in every sense of the word. 🪴

Of course, every plant parent secretly has a favorite!  but I won’t tell mine. ✌🏼😂 But can you guess what it is?!
