Plants & things.

My plants are doing so lovely! Now comes the hard part, getting them to comfortable, well-lit spaces in the house that the cats will not get to (they chew the plants).
I'm going to re-pot a few of them. I actually JUST got a new pot yesterday, A nice big one for my tree. 


I Still don't know what this tree is. 

It's a palm of some kind. I've searched its description, but all I get is "cordyline" plants that don't look much like it.

I have, however, learned the name of one of my favorite plants: 

Maranta.


or, the 'praying plant'.
Because at night, the leaves turn up, in a prayers hand formation.
                                 
           This one shows the flower best.                    while this one shows the actual plant best.

I cannot wait to have my new indoor jungle! I love my plants thriving outside, but I love having my living room filled with life also.
