# Hey everybody! These plants have been at my desk since before I…

_Posted by Savannah on 2023-06-08_

Hey everybody!

These plants have been at my desk since before I started, and they have basically been dead the whole time (almost 1 year)… the ponytail palm is showing some new growth, but the sansevieria is still not doing well. Does anybody have any recommendations for both?

If they have looked like that for a year I would throw them away 🙃 if they just started showing new growth and you want to keep them I would repot them and keep my fingers crossed 🤞

That’s some real persistence! Amazed that either are still alive. Happy for them. Don’t know anything about sanseveria and have very little experience with ponytail palm. Sorry. Sending good vibes their way though.
