Birthday gift mix-up with my ZZ plant saga

My birthday was on the 23rd and I’ve gotten so many plants as gifts and some I bought for myself! But this by far is my favorite!!

I was telling my cousin how bad I wanted a variegated ZZ plant! So she called me yesterday and said she bought me one 😭😭 I was literally so shocked she got one and so quickly!

She dropped it off a couple hours ago and when I saw it I gave her the biggest hug! I didn’t have the heart to tell her that this wasn’t it- that in fact it was a regular one that was just extremely damaged πŸ˜‚ my daughter has claimed it for herself at the moment and is extremely excited to have mommy’s β€œwish list” plant πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Although I don’t think I’ll be able to save the damaged parts I think it’ll survive! For now we’ll pretend it is a variegated one and I’ll tell her it reverted when the time comes πŸ‘€

πŸ˜‚ I love this story!
Aww, I love the effort! Such a fun story for this one 😊
The effort was so sweet. I love it❀️
🀭🀭 that is… such a sweet story πŸ˜‚ it does look variegate-ish πŸ˜… with the right lighting. 🫢🏼 I hope it reverts soon. πŸ₯°πŸͺ΄πŸ˜… Hapyy late Birthday!!!πŸ₯³πŸ₯³πŸ₯³
Some of the variegated ones look damaged to me🧐 I need to look at lots more i guess
Happy belated birthday!πŸŽ‰
Aww love that you you did that hopefully it will go back to normal soon
Happy late birthday πŸ₯³ and you’ll that have that beauty in top shape in no time. Especially since your daughter will be helping πŸ˜‰
Happy belated birthday.
Looking forward to seeing your ZZ all recovered, after the care you and your daughter give it. πŸ₯°
I’m with Mundy on this, are you absolutely sure?? With a lot of light and care is this possibly really a variegated one?!?
Looks variegated to me. It doesn’t look sick. Maybe some bright light for a while and not a lot of watering.
What a lovely cousin! You are blessed. ❀️
Early Christmas! Good to see your daughter has your interest πŸ˜‰
Happy belated birthday!! That was such a great gesture on your cousin’s part. I just hope they didn’t sell this to her as a variegated ZZ.. I too covet a variegated ZZ.. in the mean time I got the next best thing a Chameleon ZZ.. they are actually very pretty also.. the one I have has a stem of white/cream leaves that are starting to turn green, but there’s two new ones coming in… and I just looked on Etsy and they have some for a decent price..
@EnticingHopsage lol I put up all the trees and decorations as my husband was passing out Halloween candy πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
@NMazon no she paid 40 lol but it came with the pot so I think that's why the price was high πŸ˜‚ but it was still a great gesture ❀️
@AC73LoveCats @user57179bb0 I wish it was but it isn't, it looks like it was due to weather damage possibly cold she got it ata local meijers and I know they have plants outside, but with Michigan weather it'll be 60 at 10am and 35 a 2pm lol
@PlantingPeace @CoolNoblefir @BalancedBonsai @Sassylimey @NMazon thank you for the belated birthday comments πŸ’•πŸ’•
Sweet gesture and your daughter will have fun. (Better keep the variegated ZZ on your list) 😊
