# My mother-in-law gave me this plant. I don’t have a clue what it is.…

_Posted by Christine on 2024-10-26_

My mother-in-law gave me this plant. I don’t have a clue what it is. I brought it home, rinsed the root area, put it in some rain water with some Prop Drops and have my fingers crossed that it will survive.  
Any tips or comments will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!

If you want I can ship you one if you cash app me... I have a really big one all you would need to pay is shipping. I have a really big one and need to chop and prop.
