Houseplants galore

[feliciakw]

In condolence for my father's passing, work sent me a really big basket filled with various houseplants. Today I've been looking into the care of each of them, and looking up the ones I don't know what they are. We have gone from having nothing but a Christmas cactus and a jade plant (given to us a few years back) to having those, plus one each

I have a prayer plant and it does indeed curl up.

The peace lily is very hard to kill, but you can do so by overwatering (put it in a partly sunny place).

English Ivy grows anywhere, but give it a trellis/pole or it'll take over everything.

I repotted a few things yesterday--the peace lily, which seems to be doing well; the prayer plant, which seems to have grown now that it has room; our Christmas cactus, which I'm going to have to make trimmings of, or it's going to get out of control, and the jade plant, which seems to be happier now that it has more room.
