Everyone, meet Eeka, my darling little, first-ever snake plant. I’d been eyeing the laurentii in the #GregPlantShop ever since I was let in last month, and after Sarah @RealSimpleMama) got two new snakes last week, I finally jumped on the slippery slope train and ordered myself this sweet little girl. She’s named after one of my childhood best friend’s 5-foot long Rosie Boa. I’ve always loved the name he’d given that snake and have always wanted to use it myself. Can’t wait to see how she grows and if she’ll be as twisty as I’m hoping! 🐍 🌱 💚 #PlantAddict #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #NewPlants #SnakePlant #PlantMafia
