There are people who like plants and then there are those who take it to a completely different level. They are called plant freaks. How do you tell the difference? Let’s take an example. When you want to grow a garden, what do you do?

  1. ✅ You check the area around the house for gardening
  2. ✅ You buy plants
  3. ✅ You build the garden

What does plant freak do? He does the exact same thing but the difference being normal people are economical. They will limit their growing habits to what is appropriate to their economic status, or to the amount of time they have. Plant freaks don’t do that. Sometimes their gardens are bigger than their house. They spend more money on plants than on their personal well being. (via: CastleDale)

Epipremnum is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araceae, found in tropical forests from China, the Himalayas, and Southeast Asia to Australia the western Pacific. They are evergreen perennial vines climbing with the aid of aerial roots. They may be confused with other Monstereae such as Rhaphidophora, Scindapsus and Amydrium. All parts of the plants are toxic, mostly due to trichosclereids (long sharp cells) and raphides. Plants can grow to over 40 m (131 ft) with leaves up to 3 m (10 ft) long, but in containers the size is much reduced.

#3 Clusia 'Rosea'

Clusia rosea, the autograph tree, copey, cupey, balsam apple, pitch-apple, and Scotch attorney, is a tropical and sub-tropical plant species in the genus Clusia. The name Clusia major is sometimes misapplied to this species. Clusia rosea is a tree native to the Caribbean, including the Bahamas, Hispaniola (such as in Los Haitises National Park), Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Florida. It is a hemiepiphyte, that is, it grows as an epiphyte on rocks or other trees at the start of its life and resembles a strangling fig (Ficus). Just as a strangling fig it overgrows and strangles its host tree with its many aerial roots.
