This was Frank. He was a rose hibiscus hybrid from the home shopping network

Don’t judge! Lol! This was a spider plant gifted to me from a coworker that she propagated and gave to me. I kept it alive for 5yrs with basically no care 😬 It started my journey and when it died, I was really sad.

Sorry for your loss.

This monstera deliciosa I got from Grocery Bargain Outlet Market for $6 in 2016ish. I thought it was a Pothos or philodendron because it didn’t have fenestration. I thought the tag was wrong. I was so upset when it fenestrated but then monsteras were everywhere in pop culture I ended up being ok with it. I’ve neglected it to deaths door but it’s so big and healthy now. I’m hoping to get fruit from it one day.
