# I promised myself that I would not exceed 200 plants and if I got…

I promised myself that I would not exceed 200 plants and if I got another plant I would have to get rid of one. So I’ve started taking plants to work and giving them away. Any plants that no longer bring me joy for whatever reason, or props from my momma plants that have gotten too big, I will choose as a gifted plant. 😊 Coworkers are making out!! These are some of them that have been gifted and still need to give away two more to keep my promise. 😉

That’s such a great idea! Your coworkers are definitely making out like champs!

I’m in a similar situation with my number of plants, but I’m retired. I’ve decided to cultivate cuttings to give as hostess gifts to keep my population in check. Getting more dinner invites 😅
