Netta just arrived!!!!🥳 Poor thing was stuffed in a box and shipped from California to Florida for over a week!!! Plus the place doesn’t know what split rocks need, I got the generic succulent care sheet! 🙄

Anyone catch what I did with her name there!? 😜

I think your new plant is lovely! However, I don’t get the name reference. Cute though!

I was wrong, her name is Nettie!!! After the character in the movie The Color Purple…she goes to Africa (where these plants are native) and does missionary work.
