Gardening with weeds

[pearbean]

I like plants. My house is turning into a mini jungle, I have a trellis in the living room with Andy the killer creeper creeping quietly over it, I have ferns in the bathroom and a lily by the washbasin. There's a sedum by the kitchen sink and a giant spiderplant on the bookcase in in the living room

what are you doing with Andy and co when you move out?

ooh, and what is Andy again? I want one in my conservatory, but seem incapable of remembering plant names *doh*

Well I'm going to offer Akemi first refusal, but I'm hoping to find someone who will take over the apartment furnished, in which case i can leave the plants for them.

Andy is an Epipremnum aureum.
However I'm not convinced he climbs so much as creeps up on you. He doesn't seem to be much of a fan of *upward* growth. I probably ought to repot him. If I do he might well take over the world, however.

There's a kind of philodendron that looks like an Andy but which isn't one at all. Still pretty though.

ah, cunning.

Wikipedia reckons he'll grow up... might involve string. I was thinking of putting one up high and letting it grow down a few pole things. that'd look *awesome*

I miss the house full of plants. And Andy! You've converted me to houseplants - I've got one already and I'll probably end up with more. And yay weeds. :D I liked that nice succulent one in the corner, it gave good cover.
