The Weekly Sap: Mist, Make, and Money Trees
Humidity how-tos, upcycled pot hacks, and the symbolic secrets of Pachira Aquatica.

This Week at PlantmyPlants
Hello Green Thumbs!
This week, we’re leaning into creative care, resourceful reuse, and a touch of botanical luck. From managing moisture to turning yesterday’s clutter into tomorrow’s planters, and capping it off with a deep dive into one of the most beloved green companions—there’s plenty of leafy goodness coming your way.
Here’s what to watch for:
Tuesday Tips: Managing Humidity Levels for Tropical Plants
Ever wonder why your monstera isn’t unfurling like the lush queen she’s meant to be? Or why your calathea’s edges turn crisp no matter how often you water? You might be missing a key ingredient in the tropical plant playbook: humidity. This Tuesday, we’re diving into the invisible climate your leafy divas crave—how to spot when it’s off, what it’s doing to your plants, and simple, low-lift tricks to level up the air around them. No rainforest? No problem. Think of it as plant therapy through atmosphere. We’ll show you how to create a microclimate your tropicals will actually thank you for—quietly, of course, with glossier leaves, perkier stems, and maybe even that long-awaited new growth. It’s easier than you think, and your monstera will love you for it. | ![]() |
Wednesday Works: Upcycling Household Items into Plant Pots
![]() | Before you toss that chipped teacup or lonely mug, hold up. This Wednesday, we’re giving the forgotten, the mismatched, and the almost-thrown-away a second (leafy) life. With just a bit of imagination (and a little soil), everyday items become charming homes for your favorite plants—and trust us, they’re more Instagram-worthy than you think. This isn't just about saving stuff—it’s about seeing potential. That old colander? It’s got drainage built in. A cracked bowl? Call it character. Whether you're styling a sunny windowsill or gifting a one-of-a-kind planter, this upcycling DIY is a gentle reminder that beauty doesn’t have to be brand new—it just needs roots. |
Feature Friday: Money Tree — Symbolism and Care Tip
It’s the plant that promises prosperity—and thrives on just the right amount of neglect. The Money Tree has earned its spot as a household (and office) favorite, but there’s more to this leafy legend than its braided trunk and low-maintenance charm. This Friday, we’re digging into the roots of its symbolism, uncovering where fortune meets foliage, and sharing easy care tips to keep yours lush, healthy, and—who knows—maybe even lucky. Whether you’re manifesting abundance or just want a plant that forgives your forgetful watering habits, the Money Tree delivers. We'll show you what makes this green gem more than just decor—and how to help it flourish in your space, your routine, and maybe even your wallet. | ![]() |

While we’re teasing the week ahead, we’ve got a few extra tidbits to keep your hands busy, your plants thriving, and your smile rooted right where it belongs. Whether you're deep in the dirt or just daydreaming about your next leafy addition, these little garden glimmers are here to ground you—and maybe even make you grin.
Bloom Watch: Lavender and geraniums are strutting their stuff—don’t be afraid to snip a few for a bedside bouquet.
