    I got a rescue monstera and all of the leaves fell off. It grew back and now it’s working growing some new leaves after I got some propagations!

    Crop-lifted this one from my job when I saw how neglected it was becoming 🥰

    This begonia was one of my mom’s plants. It was water rooted in a plastic milk jug when I started caring for it. 😊

    My sweet and tough Katya was one of my first plants and I tried so hard to kill her! 😂 I finally figured out her watering and she’s thriving!

    This is the pothos I received from grandparents when I was 13. It had 2 leaves and has been near death so many times! I have also given away 100s of starts in the over 40 years that I have had it!

    My oldest plant is from my mom’s funeral in 2013. It’s a Chinese evergreen and it’s a floor plant size. Huge. I’ve managed to keep it alive and thriving.

    I got a small pot with 4 of these in it. I separated them into 3 pots, thinking that'd give me 3 chances to not kill it. It was a splurge, because I had leveled up my skills. Now they are all getting big, and I'm going to have to give at least 1 away 😅

    My philodendron variegated heartleaf decided it was going to push out this leaf, like slow down babe don’t hurt yourself with that huge leaf 😂

    This is "Percy" named after my Grandad. He had a huge Jade plant in his porch and I knocked against it and broke a bit of branch off. I was mortified! He told me to make it up to him to take the snapped off branch home and put it in soil and look after it. Sadly he passed away a few years later. That was over 20 years ago, he's still going strong. I hope my Grandad is looking down now and proud that I kept my promise to him.
