Montreal

It’s September 2020 and I’ve just moved into an apartment in Montreal during the pandemic, what’s the first thing my roommate and I do? Order in poutine and eat it on our dining table thats covered in… (you guessed it!) plants!

Left: plants ready for moving. Right: poutine on the first night in our new apartment!

It seems the current plant inventory was:

• 2 pothos (original and Star Wars)
• 1 snake plant
• 1 curly spider plant
• 1 air plant
• 1 zebra succulent (Watson Moses)
• 1 arrow plant
• 1 bird of paradise
• 1 rubber plant (ficus tineke)
• 1 mother of thousands succulent
• philodendron propagations
• scindapsus pictus
• a couple others my roommate brought from home

September-October 2020 plants around the apartment.

For some reason, I did not take many photosThis is absurd to me right now because my camera roll is full of plants usually. but we acquired a ton of plants over the next couple months. For example, it took 8 minutes of video for me to document the plant watering for my friend to take care of them over Christmas/New Year’s. I moved all of them to the center of the living room and my bedroom and grouped by levels/types of care. I took some screenshots of the videos and counted at least 50 plants!
