008. monstera deliciosa

i feel like i’m gonna write this about every one of my plants but my monstera deliciosa really is one of my favourites. this plant reminds me of my first trip overseas to hawai’i & being in awe of nature in the tropics (ironically, this plant is mildly invasive in hawai’i). my monstera deliciosa was…

taking a moment to appreciate the way the light hits this corner ✨
i’m getting excited for spring ☀️ i have so many plants to repot this s/s, including philodendron rojo congo, which hasn’t been repotted since i’ve been living with them... so about 3 years 😳 lol [🔖#jmphilodendronrojocongo] i’ve topped them off with a fresh layer of soil each growing szn, but this szn i will def repot them in a bigger pot or i will trim their roots + place them back in this pot 🪴
this month’s #📚lostinplantopia book feature is anything written by one of my fave writers audre lorde. specifically, i’ve been reading sister outsider again & sitting in audre’s words. currently, i’m reflecting on the way she writes about difference & how it is the root of creativity + change. this book i’m holding is titled after one of the quotes that got me to think about how i approach the work that i do & beyond.
my monstera albo variegata from fiona @wool.n.jungle has been chilling over winter 😻 [🔖#jmmonsteradeliciosaalbovariegata] how’s everyone doing? it’s been a year since life as we know it changed in so many ways. in the beginning, i invested my energy into taking care of my well-being bc i was already in a bit of a funk due to things going on that were outside of my control. posting photos of my green fam, what i learn about them, and growing compassion & critical consciousness by sharing some of my work + thoughts online have been important to me as doing so brought me joy + hope during hard times. however, the reality is it was & still is a privilege to be safe at home spending time online posting to ig. for a while now, i’ve been reflecting on why i’m on here.
'Black on campus' on @cbcfifth tomorrow at 9pm est - this investigation will examine experiences of Black students, staff and faculty on Canadian campuses.
first off, happy new year / 新年快樂 / chúc mừng năm mới 🧧🐂 wishing you health + peace this year coming ❤️ i’ve been sitting on this post bc it’s been painful to witness + process what’s been going on. my heart hurts & i feel enraged seeing the violence towards asian elders in america... & then hurt by the lack of a mainstream response to anti-asian racism + violence. this shit has been going on since colonization - this thread touches on it, but there is so much more to learn. however, it blew up last year due to the coronavirus & narratives in the mainstream calling it the china virus or kung flu.
can’t imagine this space without my green fam 🥺🪴 [🔖#jmlivingroom🌿]
so far i’ve watered the succulents twice this winter [🔖#jmsucculents] these plants are tolerant to drought bc they store water in their leaves + stems. i don’t have grow lights so they’re a bit etiolated, but i know they’ll be good come spring.
