I went to buy soil and had no intention of buying new plants because I have so many but I couldn’t help my self. Both had several dead leaves and called me to take them home. I trimmed all dead leaves and now the are added to the family. 🥹. Y’all I have an addiction problem to plants. I should never be left alone. lol I couldn’t them them. lol ![Attachment 1 of 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/nq9K3oRPdyBcXdkA4u5nujh83B_Eaj8GJemStE8_TIQ/IV1IEIUsSTq1C170F4Kebg.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 2 of 2](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/nq9K3oRPdyBcXdkA4u5nujh83B_Eaj8GJemStE8_TIQ/7HeGGsTuSOGvb0MqLzupIQ.webp?size=large) ## 16 comments ### Poison\_ivy commented on 2024-07-09 I couldn’t leave them there. ### Adrian commented on 2024-07-09 First one here is a Chinese Evergreen. Very hardy, and mine thrived on neglect. I found it enjoyed being close to a north window (in my case, in a north windowsill, as it was small), and enjoyed being bottom watered. Hope this helps. ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/CQyscbeN5f0KZltdaSyx3VQZZh8uHYoaKDmCZlFICjE/at1DGl0hRoqyUd68iM9OFw.webp?size=large) #### Poison\_ivy replied on 2024-07-09 Thank you so much !!!! #### Adrian replied on 2024-07-09 No problem! ### Adrian commented on 2024-07-09 I couldn’t stop myself either today 😂 literally bought mine from the terrarium plant section of my local pet store. But it was $7 for a ficus elastica. I spotted it on Sunday and came back just to grab it. ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/CQyscbeN5f0KZltdaSyx3VQZZh8uHYoaKDmCZlFICjE/klg66BulQpy-TPlqwKxb6w.webp?size=large) #### Adrian replied on 2024-07-09 ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/CQyscbeN5f0KZltdaSyx3VQZZh8uHYoaKDmCZlFICjE/xqyemFCNRk66hjpnk9p2FA.webp?size=large) #### Poison\_ivy replied on 2024-07-09 I almost bought one too I had it in the cart! lol. #### Poison\_ivy replied on 2024-07-09 7 dollars. That’s great!!!! #### Adrian replied on 2024-07-09 Right?! I’m on the verge of asking if they’re hiring just to save their amazingly affordable plants. They keep them all sitting in a huge tray of water instead of watering them individually 😱 I was mortified. Had to save them. The soil was SOAKED, but I repotted them after buying them and the roots were healthy and the plants were (miraculously) pest free. I think it’s my civil duty, frankly, to save their neglected houseplants before someone goes buying them and possibly introducing a pest or two into a delicate reptile terrarium 😗 #### Poison\_ivy replied on 2024-07-10 Love this! ### Devin commented on 2024-07-10 the plant addiction is so relatable ### Poison\_ivy commented on 2024-07-10 Plant addiction is a good problem to have lol. Anyone who says otherwise has never owned a plant. Lol #### Devin replied on 2024-07-10 exactly lol ### Poison\_ivy commented on 2024-07-10 My family thinks iam crazy. They walk into my home and are shocked that it looks like a jungle. Haha ### Samalama commented on 2024-07-10 The second one is a pink princess philodendron!! They’ve had them at the store and I’ve been itching to buy one for months but just haven’t been willing to drop the money on it😫 #### Poison\_ivy replied on 2024-07-10 I paid 19 dollars for mine. Home Depot has no clue what they actually have --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com). Reading is open to everyone.
