Iāve been holding off on repotting my Fernwood/Mikado snake plant (trying to wait for Spring) but I promised my godson a few of the pups and heās been asking me nonstop. Thereās only so much patience you can expect a six year old to have. š I hadnāt planned to repot, I was just going to wriggle out a few pups to make him a new plant. But then I saw this foam wrapped all around the base of my plant! Imagine my shock. It was so hard to remove - intertwined between every little shoot and so many pups had grown right up into and through it! Iām not mad because this one was from my very favorite and reputable garden and I can see why they did it. The āplantā I purchased was actually multiple plants potted together and the foam helped them grow together in a straight, close grouping. It was a good look. Hopefully, it still grows nicely without the support. In the end, I have a new plant for my godson, my original gal āFrannyā and a third Fernwood for a friend. Canāt recommend this plant enough - it wasnāt expensive, pups came out all through winter and it grew quickly. None of my other snake plants grow this quickly. š
