I do not claim distinction as a houseplant grower, but I do grow attached to the few I have. I have even been known to give some of them names, as a yucca I called Dewey who was my office mate for many years. Eventually, Dewey grew so large I reluctantly decided he should have another home, and I hope he is still doing well.
For quite some time, my houseplant collection has been limited to a split-leaf philodendron that has been part of my life for more than 50 years, and a few orchids, some of which I acquired from friends who decided there may be more to life than waiting for orchids to bloom. Incidentally, I am very pleased to report that one of those adopted orchids has produced a flower stalk and blooms should appear any day. The flowers usually last several weeks, so orchid cultivation can be very rewarding. I modestly attribute the success to beginner’s luck.
