# So I was cleaning out some old planters that some plants had gone to…

_Posted by Ashley’s Botanicals on 2025-04-21_

So I was cleaning out some old planters that some plants had gone to the graveyard in and I found this huge root/bulb?? I planted it months ago and it grew! No idea what it is can anyone help me identify it? The scanner showed me some off the wall ones that didn’t look like it at all. TIA!!

ya no problem!

I’d second that too. Could be a zz plant because they grow from a “potato” like thing.
