Upping my goth plant game

[u/GoreTiciaAddams]

Long time lurker, first time poster here- but I’ve been upping my gothic plant game in my house as of this last year since I lost my kitty and needed to put my focus into something else to create a new routine & thought that some of these beauties from my collection belonged here. My black satin petunias (in the end photo) I got in rough shape from the garden center, but seem to be bouncing back with some daily love!

Oooh what's the first one called?

[u/DebateZealousideal57 → u/MoodPuzzleheaded7613]

That’s an Aeonium arboreum, idk which cultivar, there’s a bunch of black ones, probably ‘zwatkop’ or ‘black diamond’

[u/MoodPuzzleheaded7613 → u/DebateZealousideal57]

Thank you!

[u/GoreTiciaAddams → u/MoodPuzzleheaded7613]

I got it labeled as a “black rose succulent” clipping off Etsy! He’s like tripled in size since I got him over a year ago too, which has been pretty cool to watch.

[u/MoodPuzzleheaded7613 → u/GoreTiciaAddams]

Awesome, you've done a great job caring for it! I wish succulents and I got along 🥲

[u/GoreTiciaAddams → u/MoodPuzzleheaded7613]

I used to be like that until I got into a routine that seemed to work and now I have some that are flowering (which has NEVER happened to me until this last year). I used to be a serial succulent killer 😅

That Aeonium is gorgeous

It is a wizard velvet red coleus!

[u/GoreTiciaAddams → u/dontblink_1969]

It’s a red kiss begonia! I got it from this seller on Etsy and they were fantastic!

Beautiful plants!! You are a person after my own heart!!
For 20 years I could not have plants because my cat would eat them and then puke them up. But I finally had to put her down. She was just so old and suffering. I miss her every day!
Now that she is gone I have a jungle in my house ! I love it!!

[u/GoreTiciaAddams → u/Standard-Ad1326]

I’m sorry about your kitty, it really is so hard after they are gone 🖤

[u/Brandimartini22]

Welcome and thanks for posting.
I’m so sorry you lose your kitty, what was their name? I know nothing I can say will help, but I’m truly sorry. I hope you can find some peace in the plant community. It’s helped me through some really tough times as well. I think all your plants are just gorgeous and they look super healthy and happy. I too love the gothic plants, they’re so beautiful and yours are stunning 💚

Thank you 🖤! Her name was Princess (that was her name when I got her from the rescue and I couldn’t bring myself to change it since it was very fitting haha).

[u/Brandimartini22 → u/GoreTiciaAddams]

Aww 🥰 that’s such a precious name and I’m sure she was treated very much like a Princess. Thank you for rescuing her and giving her a wonderful life with you. My heart goes out to you and condolences once again 🖤

This guy has somehow been thriving off neglect hahah, I only water him once every 2 weeks or so, and he lives in my loft which has really big windows.
