House Plants Thrive on Screened Porch

During the summer months, I move my indoor plants to the screened porch where they really thrive.  I try not to over water, but usually water about twice a week when it's so hot.  This summer my Anthurium has just thrived.  Right now it is just full of blooms.



It has been sitting underneath the ladder where it gets the benefit of the blowing rain, and drips from some of the other plants higher on the ladder, and I think that is why it has so many blooms.  It normally will only have about 2 at a time.


Here you can see how full it is, and all the blooms.


This plant came as a cutting from a friend/co-worker of mine.  It has done so well!


The blooms look waxy.  There are about 2000 different species of these plants, I discovered.


My Christmas Cactus is thriving, and so full!


The plant in the top pot is a clipping from my periwinkle.  It died during the winter, but came back strong in the spring.


The succulents are doing well.  I pinched off some of the spider plant, and the hens and chicks, and created the pot seen in the little white bowl.







Do your house plants thrive outside?

  1. Hi Kathy, I have been out of town for almost three weeks and have a lot of catching up to do.
    I love your Anthurium is lovely. I have never had good luck with them but that one is awesome. That Christmas Cactus is mighty healthy looking. I bet it will be beautiful this season.
    I can't leave without telling you how beautiful that mountain view is from your porch. What a wonderful space to have morning coffee or afternoon tea.
    Have a blessed week sweet friend, Ginger

  4. Easy to see that your plants have found a happy place. The only house plant I have right now is a Rosemary. I have moved it out under the Pergola. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
    hugs,

  6. Kathy, I love your screened porch and the view you have from it. My screened porch was one reason my husband and I had to have this house. It's my favorite room/porch. Glad I found you on The Dedicated House today.

Thrifty Bookcase Makeover

About a year ago, I was working on a photo gallery area at the lake home. There is an area about 7x7 between the living room, and the hall bath. I bought a really inexpensive ($20.00) bookcase to use there to hold family photos. I hurriedly placed photos on it, and didn't think much about it.   The last time we were at the lake, I was sitting there looking at how badly it looked, wondering what I could do to spruce it up a little.  It had all colors/types of picture frames -red, pink floral, wood, brass, you name it!   I remembered seeing adhesive shelf liner at the Dollar General the day before.  So I made a quick trip back there, and bought one 9 ft. roll for less than $3.00.  I know this is not an original idea and has been done by lots of people, but I wanted to show you anyway.   First, I emptied out all the photos, pulled out the shelves, measured, and cut the paper to fit inside the bookcase.  I also took all the photos out of the frames and w...

Stenciled Burlap Pillow

I just have to share my no sew pillow project.  I had some burlap fabric in my fabric stash, and decided I would use it to cover a pillow.  First, I found an old pillow I no longer use.  I spread the burlap out on the floor and laid my pillow on it so I could cut the fabric big enough to cover it.  I was so intent on the project, I didn't make any pictures of the process. Once the burlap was cut, I folded in the sides about an inch, and glued it down with Tacky Glue, pressing it down several times with my fingers.  I did this all the way around the fabric, and laid it aside to dry over night.  The Tacky Glue dries clear. My next step was to determine how I could lap the fabric over the cushion in an envelope fashion.  I had tried to get my computer to print out a graphic that would show up on the burlap, but printer problems interfered with that plan, so I found the center, and stenciled it with the tree stencil I bought at Michael's. ...
