Zz Plant Rescued

The past year has been a crash course for plants for me. Mom left a lot of plants and I've been working on rescuing them. I've been re-potting the plants to give them proper nutrition since it's been two years since they had proper care.

I re-potted this zz plant about a month ago. Moved it indoors and it looks very happy! The leaves are very shiny. I'm being careful not to over water it.

There's a smaller one I put on top of my piano. I used an old utensil canister which I remember used to be in our kitchen. The plant is not as happy as the big one, so I might move it.

Having a Zz plant is a huge upgrade for me. Thanks Mom!

Mom's Favorite Plants

I'm working on saving Mom's plants and transferred those that were in front of the house to our home. 

When Sweetie pulled the plants out he said most had spikes and I should be careful. I placed the plants on quarantine first to make sure they didn't have pests. I started re-potting them over the weekend.

I was really surprised that Mom was fascinated with bromeliads. I know she liked flowers and had a lot of orchids. I don't know when she started collecting bromeliads. 

I was only able to transfer a few plants because I ran out of pots. Mom liked pairing plants, so each pot had a number of plants. The bromeliads also grew a lot of pups, so I separated them so I can give some away.

Luckily, most of the plants don't like direct sunlight. I don't get good sunlight in our home, so I shouldn't have a problem making sure they live. Now I just need to get more pots so I can continue re-potting the plants. It's immensely therapeutic :)
