# A few weeks ago my y neighbor gave me several house plants that she…

_Pubblicato da Heather il 2024-07-23_

A few weeks ago my y neighbor gave me several house plants that she was getting rid of before she moved. She has done this in the past always with plants that were usually drowning in drain free pots (last year it was a blueberry bush and blackberry canes). This time was no exception as not only did the houseplants not have drainage everything was planted in peat moss. 🤦🏼‍♀️

The aloe plants she gave me had no roots at all and was beyond my ability to save. She also game ma a snake plant that wouldn’t stay upright due to the peat not being able to keep it from falling over. Lastly, I got a basket with Zz plants that had fallen over and tubers were completely exposed. I immediately got them in succulent soil and put them in a sunny spot in the living room and kitchen.

Tonight I was doing a bit of housekeeping and discovered wonderful new growth on the repotted plants. The snake has an entirely new leaf that I completely missed seeing when it sprouted but it is already huge. The ZZs were split into separate pots and now both have sent up new shoots. I know it is pretty silly to be this happy about new growth but since it is my first time with either of those plants and they were not well when o got them I just feel like they are giving me an “atta girl”! 😂
