# A few times a year I do a plant swap with a sweet lady that works…

_Posted by Bella Bee🐝💚 on 2024-06-09_

A few times a year I do a plant swap with a sweet lady that works with my husband. We like to send each other pieces of our favorite plants at that time. Just sharing the happiness with one another💚

We’ve always just shared cuttings but this time she gifted them already potted! How sweet right?! Do you have someone that you share your favorite plants with? If so, how do you gift them?

I have learned I now have a “Heart leaf plant” and a “Tradescantia zebrina”!! I can’t wait to see how they do! I’m still very much a beginner so this keeps things interesting AND keeps me learning!!

Any tips or tricks for caring for these new babies are welcomed and appreciated💚

Awesome! I’ll be sure to post updates once there’s growth then.

Ok!

And I gift my plant cuttings in a plastic ziplock bag

#### Bella Bee🐝💚 replied on 2024-06-09

Lol, most of the time that’s exactly how I gift mine as well! She usually has them in a vase with water…so I was surprised seeing them already potted!

### StringofMonsteras commented on 2024-06-09

Marble Queen pothos is the plant

Thanks! 😊

I’m downsizing for a move and have collected Starbucks mugs from all over the world. I set aside the ones I want to keep and instead of donating the rest I put a plantlet in a 3.5/4 inch nursery pot and it fits perfectly in a mug..

#### Bella Bee🐝💚 replied on 2024-06-10

That is the coolest idea ever!! I love that!

### Js commented on 2024-06-09

If you trim the tradescantia and stick them back in the soil then you’ll have more babies and the plant will be thicker and bushier

#### Bella Bee🐝💚 replied on 2024-06-10

That is so neat!! They don’t need to have roots already? The front side is beautiful…but the back is just bare lol so that would be a fantastic idea to make it pretty all the way around
