Elliot is a "Moon Cactus" I actually had one before. Now that I actually looked up information on how to care for this little guy -I realize that I might have burned my previous one with too much sun. I didn't think that was possible with a a cactus- but there you go. (see info for caring for a moon cactus here)

Olivia is a simple Pothos plant. I found info for caring for her here.

My shelves look so much better with these little plants- so I am going to make a sincere effort to keep these babies alive. Wish me luck :)

I love that you named your plants and that they each have their own 'frog' friend! Good luck with keeping them alive. :)

Is that framed print in your first photo by Emily Martin of The Black Apple? If so she is my boyfriends niece! Small world! She is an amazing artist!
