# Hello Plant People! I got this mini monsters for Mother’s Day that…

Hello Plant People!

I got this mini monsters for Mother’s Day that ended up having root rot. I cut off the healthiest stems and put them in water to see if they’d survive. Now they have healthy roots and new leaves/shoots sprouting all over the place 😍 It’s so cute!

Yay!!! My mini monster is currently making a great comeback too. It was in a very sub-optimal spot all winter, especially given the lack of sunlight during that time of year. But it’s looking more and more like a happy plant (and less like naked green sticks 😂) every day

That’s so exciting! Love when they recover!

I once planted some water propagations and they started to MAJORLY droop and I thought they were goners. Then they perked up and are growing like crazy now! It’s so fun.
