Mandarin spider plant revival success! 🤩

On Sept. 8, @AwesomePlants #fairyplantparent) sent me #PlantMail with an abundance of cuttings and rooted plants 🤩

When I opened the box and pull this plant out, I was like “oh my god this thing is DEAD 💀💀” and messaged Awesome about it 🤣🤣 She ID’d it as Mandarin Spider Plant btw 🫶🏼

She was so patient with me as she gave advice on how to go about potting this baby up!! I placed it in a plastic pot and didn’t like the look of the mangled leaves, so Awesome suggested I CHOP IT ✂️✂️ and start OVER! 🤩

📸 LOOK AT THIS PROGRESS! IT’S LOOKING AMAZING!! @MrsSmith I heard you also got a “dead plant” SO I WANNA SHOW U IT AINT DEAD YET! 🤣🤣🫶🏼🌿✨

@kscape Aaaahhhhhh!!!! 💚🧡 Amazing is an understatement!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏 @AwesomePlants did send a “dead” mandarin and she told me about yours and how you were reviving it. This gives me so much hope!!! I trusted Awesome of course but seeing your progress is 🙌🏾 encouraging for sure!!! So I cut mine back, watered and drained and threw her in a baggie. She’s now sweating to the oldies in her baggie since Monday. Not sure when to take her out though… Am I waiting more greenery or should I pot her now? Should I have cut her back more?
@kscape Just one months worth of progress. Man!!! That is so impressive and encouraging @kscape
@kscape Thank you for tagging me in this 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
#ItAintDeadYet 🙌🏾👏🏾🫶🏽😂
@MrsSmith YESSSS!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽 #ItAintDeadYet 🤣🤣🤣 Yours looks like it’s ready to be potted and I promise you it’ll take off!! I water mine every 8-10 days and give it medium light!

Omg I can’t wait to see yours growwww! Please tag me when you posts updates!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼💖🤞🏽🌱🤍
@kscape I’m gonna repot sometime tonight and I will definitely tag you with updates 👍🏾💚
Looks amazing! Can’t wait to see her next year 😮
@AwesomePlants is an awesome person. That’s all I can say. ❤️❤️❤️
This is awesome!!!! Look at those fresh leaves!!!! Yes!!!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🤯
🤣🤣 Y'alls responses @kscape @MrsSmith ...uuum why did she send me a 🪦 plant🤣🤣

Probably why it was on the clearance rack at the nursery. Everyone saw 💀, I saw Lazurus🤣
Excited to see your plants grow.
😂😂😂 @AwesomePlants Honestly I just thought it didn’t travel well. But the fact that it looked like that when you picked it up but you saw Lazarus is HILARIOUS!!!! 😂😂😂
@MrsSmith I was thinking the same thing 🤣🤣 this is why she’s AWESOME!! @AwesomePlants she sees potential in US and the PLANT to thrive together 🙌🏽🙌🏽🤍🌿😁
@PlantEsteem Thank you Mary! I’m so proud I’ve been able to bring this baby back to life! 🤞🏽😁
@LatiTish84 these were clearance finds. They looked like that before travel🤣. Peel all the leaves off and let her grow back. Sorry, I forgot to tell you to trim her back like I did with @MrsSmith
@AwesomePlants let me go get mine!!! It's so amazing!!!
Dari @MrsSmith @LatiTish84 @AwesomePlants

L👀k at all the new GROWTH!!! Clearly I've found its happy spot. 💚
Yowza!!!! That is amazing @sarahsalith !😍
@AwesomePlants thank you so much for spreading the love. ♥️ You are TRULY AWESOME!! I'm grateful to know you. 😊
Oh I love this! Beautiful 😍
@sarahsalith oh my god I missed your picture! Yours is looking BEAUTIFUL Sarah! 🤍✨ you’re doing such an amazing job caring for it 🌱🥹💚
@kscape @AwesomePlants @LatiTish84 What makes me happy today….new beginnings!!! 🙌🏾🫶🏽💛💚🧡 I’m glad I waited to repot today because I went to the dollar store yesterday and saw this cute little bowl that I thought would be perfect!! So here we are…October 10 starting the journey again. Let’s see where we are in one month and beyond ☺️🙏🏾💚🧡💛
@MrsSmith Monique that looks and is PERFECT! Your mandarin plant will THRIVE in there!! I’m gonna go look around DT and see if I find a cute one for mine too! Maybe we can all match? 👀 @sarahsalith @LatiTish84 @AwesomePlants

Also just a tip, make sure to let it semi-dry out between waterings! It’ll tell you when it gets thirsty!
@kscape Thank youuuuuu!!!! ☺️☺️☺️ My dollar store wasn’t a DT, it was just a little $0.99 store around the way, but I know DT has cute little bowls too so go for it. I was gonna get a terra pot from there but when I saw this bowl I was like NOPE!! This is it!! Try to match if you can 🤞🏾🫶🏽💚🧡💛 And I remember you said water every 8-10 days and I even took a screenshot of it so I wouldn’t forget. Thanks for the tip 👍🏾 I’ll be keeping you guys posted. Oh!! What about sun? How much did yours like in order to thrive the way it did?
@MrsSmith I dont have space where I get bright light in my room, so I placed it under a grow light and it’s on for 9-12 hours 😁

Before I placed it under the grow light, I had it on a shelf about 6-8 ft from my East window!
@kscape Perfect!!! My east window is exactly where I have space so I was hoping you said that!! 👍🏾And if I happen to run out of space there (for whatever crazy reason that is 😏🪴) I can use my grow light. Thanks ☺️
