# Hi everyone, unfortunately I wasn’t able to revive my brother’s dead…

_Posted by Happyhouseplants on 2025-08-16_

Hi everyone, unfortunately I wasn’t able to revive my brother’s dead bonsai but I want to reuse the pot! I was thinking succulents as it’s so small but does anyone have any recommendations? Its height is 2 inches, length is 5 inches and width is 4 inches.

Or maybe any herbs that wouldn’t mind a small pot?  
Thanks!

Succulents or maybe some Carnivorous plants like sundews or Pinguicula

Maybe a cute panda plant 🌱, some hybrid aloe and maybe some Echeveria plants 🌱

This might be a bit of a strange recommendation, but what abt a thai const? They like to have a long pot since they crawl. As for edibles, maybe oregano or Basil?

Perhaps a tiny baby tropical plant paired with a nice moss
