I just bought some fake eucalyptus to add into a spring wreath for the front door and it does look pretty realistic.

They’re so pretty Ella! I may need to copy you.

I read somewhere that to dust delicate things you can blow the dust off with a hairdryer, in case this is useful to anyone.

Yes, I use a hairdryer on the cold setting for all sorts of dusting requirements. Probably more than I should admit :)).

I counted all of mine up a few months ago and it was a ridiculous amount :lol: I seem to have found the right balance of plants now that survive on either neglect or too much water :lol:

Those paper flowers look so pretty. I hope they work out as they sound like a really good solution to dark spots.

You're a variegated monster.
If your back's against the wall, turn around and write on it.

I don’t think it’s variegated, the leaves have got holes in them.

I've just been through 10 pages of "sideways" posts to try and find out how to correct the image but I can't find anything. Does anyone know how to do it?

I think you just need to resize the image before you post it.

Any kind of editing of the image works in my experience.

It does come up the right way up if you click onto it though.

I always open it in an editing app and then just resave and it then loads the right way in

That is excellent, Toast! :disco:

My plants are here and I love them, the mini monstera is so tiny :love:.

Here’s one of the trailing ones in situ. I’m so terrible at photos, it looks really good IRL, honest!
