Small plant pots; 2 houseplants (North end Halifax)
Gifted
1y
- 7 small plant pots for indoors. The white pot has three different types of plants - just 3 small shootings but they grow fast. The larger houseplant shown in a basket is a succulent - snake plant. Needs to be repotted, I have cut it back several times and was going to throw it away as it was getting too tall. Some info on 'Snake Plant' from the internet: ...snake plant is a hardy houseplant with stiff, sword-like leaves from six inches to 12 feet tall in its native habitat but usually reaches two feet tall when grown indoors. They vary in color but many have green-banded or striped leaves with a yellow or cream border.....easy to grow and are nearly indestructible. They grow slowly indoors, adapting to both bright light and low-light corners, however a few hours of early morning direct sun can boost growth. Planting and repotting is best done in the spring.
