Hey how you doing want to be friends?

#### Stephanie replied on 2025-01-17

I'm going to plant it today. I got a nice pot for it and some orchid and cactus soil to mix and see how it goes. How do we do the friends?

Update. Well when I went to plant this little one there was a bad section and I had to cut the top part of so I planted the small part with roots and cut off the bad part and put the rest back in water to root it again. Wish me luck I really don't want to loose her.

How do you do friends on the app. I don't see it

### The threeplantiers commented on 2025-01-22

We just be like friends digitally I’m actually not sure no one has made friends with me

#### Stephanie replied on 2025-01-23

I went into the planta feedback page to ask if they have a way to be friends on the app. Just waiting to hear back and I will let you know. 🙂

### The threeplantiers commented on 2025-01-24

Okay

#### Stephanie replied on 2025-01-24

Other people like this idea too so hopefully they will add it if they haven't already have a way to so this.

### The threeplantiers commented on 2025-01-24

🙂😀😃😄

Hi Will just heard back from Planta and they are working on improving the app so people can be friends in the app. So keep watching for it and I will too.

How are you doing ?

#### Stephanie replied on 2025-02-10

Good and you? How are the plants?

### The threeplantiers commented on 2025-02-10

Good 😊 my nerve plant probably died 😕 how your philodendron pink princess doing I had my fingers crossed 😀

#### Stephanie replied on 2025-02-10

Very slow but still holding on. Sorry about you nerve plant. But the good news is now you have room for a new one. Lol

#### Stephanie replied on 2025-02-10

This app has saved me a lot. I usually lose a lot in the winter (doing the wrong things lol). I haven't lost any yet ( knock on wood) and everyone look pretty good and a few have even grown. 🌱🌿. Now I'm ready for spring to get outside and play.

### The threeplantiers commented on 2025-02-11

Yeah I’m now able to get a calathea prayer plant

### The threeplantiers commented on 2025-02-15

Happy Valentine’s

#### Stephanie replied on 2025-02-15

Same to you. Just a day late. I had a great day I hit an estate sale and got 5 new plant stands for under $20 🙃
