Happy #tillandsiatuesday 🍃 as most of my long term followers know: I LOVE airplants. They are so freakin' cool ❄️ as an epiphyte, they get all of their nutrients from their leaves ... Not roots ... 🤯 - - To accentuate the natural beauty of these Tilly's, I've started making an item called Dino Eggs. They are moulded cement, with a painted center 😍 each item is unique and one of a kind! I'll be at the #glebecraftandartisanfair this weekend (Fri-Sunday) and I'll have a selection of these awesome items 🦸👍🌵 - - If you want to learn more about air plants, sign up for my All About Airplants workshop in December!! #terravelta #airplantsofinstagram - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #tillandsiasforsale #tillandsialove #airplants #airplantlove #airplantdecor #airplantholder #plantsinfocus #houseplantclub #urbanjungle #urbanjunglebloggers #houseplantlove #plants #plantshop #plantlady #crazyplantlady #plantgang #plantsofinstagram #plantlover #plantmom #plantparenthood #ottawalife #ottawablogger #ottawalove #ottawabusiness #myottawa #madeincanadamatters

I know, I know 🤨 it's supposed to be monsters Monday BUT my #christmascactus is BLOOMING 🌺🌺 it's totally that time of year 🎅 - - Did you know why the Christmas cactus blooms? When you reduce its access to light and water they go into a stress period and shoot out buds. It's why you can have blooms multiple times a year! It's also why most of the time (or some of the time) the in-experienced plant parent may obtain a Christmas cactus with buds but have those buds quickly drop off. You treat it too well! You give it water and sun and it "thinks" that it no longer needs to prepare for death. So. If you get a Christmas cactus this year, don't treat it too well, not until the blooms have opened and fallen off naturally 😁👍🌵 - - I have my terrarium workshop at @arthousecafe613 this Wednesday night! I'll be bringing some of these cacti to choose from, so sign up online to get your spots 🌺🌵🎅#terravelta #plantsmadesimple - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #happyplants #happyhuman #terrariums #succulentgarden #succulentbloom #locallygrown #ottawabusiness #ottawablogger #ottawaevents #plantvibes #interiorrewilding #christmascactusblooming #makersgonnamake #plantshop #plants #plantsofinstagram #houseplants #greenhouselife #houseplantlove #terrariumworkshop #plantshop #plantlady #crazyplantlady #plantgang

It's #friyay everyone 🦸 and I'm in the middle of bringing in all my plants from the greenhouse ... Sad day, but also a super happy one because for the winter time all my leafy lovelies get to mingle like their single in my plant room!! It's when I bring the whole plant-fam together that I see the sheer volume of plants that I've got 😲 it's not joke when I say I have over 1000 plants ... I've got soooooOoooOoOoooo many! But that means whenever you come over to visit, you can feel like your in a jungle 🌴🌵🌿🌱🍃 - - I'm hosting my Terrarium and Plant care workshop next Wednesday at the @arthousecafe613!! From 6-8pm. To get tickets head over to my Facebook events page (link I profile) and get your tickets!!! The pic above is a terrarium made by one of my last workshop participants 😁💖 #terravelta #terrariumworkshop - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #plantnerd #ottawa #ottawablogger #workshoplife #ottawalife #ottawaevents #ottawabusiness #foliagefriday #myottawa #support613 #plantgang #houseplants #houseplantclub #plantlove #plantshop #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantlady #crazyplantlady #botanical #horticulture #plantstagram #plantsofinstagram #succulents #happyhuman #happyplants

About Terra Velta

TV is about enjoying your indoor spaces while walking lighter on this earth. Many tropical plants are a tax on the environment, which is why I grow them right here in Ottawa!

I put each plant in a vintage or upcycled container, which means that you will get a one of a kind item, at no cost to our earth.
