Your love grew along with the plant, that is such a sweet memento and visual reminder of how long you’ve been together! My husband and I gave away small succulents as wedding favors and his cousin still has one 6 1/2 years later. #### Morgan Picillo 🖤 🌿 replied on 2026-08-10 Awwww love this. 🥹💚 ### LeafyGreenhouse commented on 2026-08-09 My spider plant!

He’s 4 this year. Given to me as a li’l sprout.
