While the meanings behind them aren’t super in-depth, I love the constant reminders of my friends who gave them to me. I like to give them random updates on them to let them know I’m thinking of them. Most recent update I gave was the other day – my friends gifted me a Salsa begonia for my birthday in January. It was more on the green side, so I named it “Chimichurri.” 😆 Over the past few months, it’s produced the most stunning and vibrant leaves. It looks like two different plants rolled into one, so I made sure to tell them news. 🥰 ![Attachment 1 of 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/17SrAqQj8OyNFHAybODfewSCnqbgQBEM__0Czrcugaw/eyYtzpJWQ66-SeH4iIPneA.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 2 of 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/17SrAqQj8OyNFHAybODfewSCnqbgQBEM__0Czrcugaw/dmmE93E_Rqu4HnbHfm-ZRQ.webp?size=large) ![Attachment 3 of 3](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/17SrAqQj8OyNFHAybODfewSCnqbgQBEM__0Czrcugaw/r3QO-8V3QoCvtYY1c5_NdA.webp?size=large) #### Morgan Picillo 🖤 🌿 replied on 2026-05-07 Aww love this!! ### Lisa\_starch\_bishop commented on 2026-05-07 I was gifted this plant when my senior chihuahua passed away. We found out later the company we paid for the cremation service was running a scam and the ashes we have aren’t him. So this plant is what we take care of and I talk to which might sound crazy but it brings me some comfort. ![Attachment 1 of 1](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/dWffwIb2rKfhpWA7vd8y2IpgkWaehuaselBjD32-4A4/ZDNXSt_SRzW2l0L_RHwIqQ.webp?size=large) #### Morgan Picillo 🖤 🌿 replied on 2026-05-07 Aww that is devastating. I’m so sorry about the ashes and the loss of your dog. I have a senior chi too, they are the best 💚 I’m glad you can find some comfort in your Aglaonema 💚 ### Ms.Issy commented on 2026-05-08 My Mom gifted me some cuttings of the only house plant my late Grandmother managed to keep alive. A thanksgiving cactus. The little cuttings are now a giant bush! I love that plant so much, and think of my Grandmother every time I see it. #### Morgan Picillo 🖤 🌿 replied on 2026-05-08 Aww that is so special! 💚 ### Mikel’s Plant Posse commented on 2026-05-08 My mother’s birthday gift, Elmer!

Had a rough start, but we have gotten to know each other better since then! #### Morgan Picillo 🖤 🌿 replied on 2026-05-08 Every Elmer update he looks happier and happier! What a great gift 😍 #### Mikel’s Plant Posse replied on 2026-05-08 Yeah, I owe her a hell of a Mother’s Day gift, huh!? ### PLANTS!!🪴🌱 commented on 2026-05-08 My first plant was a pothos named Valentina.

I’m determined to keep it alive now in her memory #### Morgan Picillo 🖤 🌿 replied on 2026-05-10 I'm so sorry to hear about your patient. So glad you have the monstera to remember her by 💚 --- _Source: the Planta community (https://getplanta.com). Reading is open to everyone.
