Hey lovely 😍 plant peeps!
Today, my BFF is repotting 3 of our plants 🪴. Mr. Rattlesnake is showing his healthy #Rootporn.
He was begging to be repotted!
So pretty! 💚🪴
Definitely got that #RootPorn going on!
@CutePolypremum oooh look at all those roots 🤩 I’ll bet you see an explosion of growth after this!
Look at those roots! They look so happy! 😁 Wow! Is that some netting I’m seeing inside the roots? Is that something you use to avoid overwatering?
Second question are all those beautiful tattoos plants?

An early good morning my dear lovelies!

The pot that Mr. Rattlesnake came in had a huge drainage hole.
This set of pots also included a plastic circle with holes to put on the bottom of the pots.
That's what you're seeing.

I should have taken a close-up photo of the bottom when he came out of his pot.

When BFF Kimberly got that plastic drainage free, what was exposed was the shape of a beautiful 😍 heart ❤️!

Kimberly has tattoos all over but I haven't really checked them out...there may be a plant or 2 tat!

I got her addicted to houseplants and gave her lots of cuttings to propagate.
She's the sweetest person and has a a gentle way about her.
My plant 🪴 Tribe calls her Auntie.

There's an old saying: "You can't judge a book by its cover", or something like that...lol

All of my life, when it comes to repotting, for some reason I become extremely anxious 😟, shaky, and sweaty and am blessed that she enjoys doing that for me.

😊 Thanks for the compliments...it's always wonderful to find healthy roots!

Have an awesome day ya'll 😎 😀 😊 🤗

Oh!
I just saw, in one of the photos, you can see the heart ❤️!
@CutePolypremum it’s completely amazing! 😻 I’ve seen the cone-style inserts that are supposed to be amazing, but I’ve never tried it. Your friend sounds like an absolutely amazing person who cares about you tremendously; that’s a rewarding friendship and sounds like the two of you have a lot of fun. I get anxious too about repotting; even though I know it’s going to be good… I still get anxiety that nope this is the time I kill it. 🤣🤣 but that’s me I overthink myself often. 🤦‍♀️
Holy root ball, Batman! 🤩😆
@Idplantthat

It's coming upon the stroke of midnight and looks to be one of those sleepless nights so...what else to do but play around and go down a rabbit hole with Greg!

Oh! You get nervous too when it comes to repotting?
I don't know why that is 🤔.
Maybe because we're uprooting our babies? Maybe we can sort of compare it to going to the dentist? Hard to go through but in the end it's necessary and the results make it better, like you mentioned.

Oh yes...I am blessed to have such a friend.
She helps me so much and absolutely loves repotting.
She told me the other day that it's her favorite thing to do! 🤗😎😍
@MamaLinne

I absolutely adore what you wrote:
"Holy rootball, Batman!"

Needed that...it cracked me up! 😅😉😘
@CutePolypremum ha ha ha 🤣 oh my goodness, I love the journey and I love the challenge that comes with all these different plants. But I’m with you, repotting is like going to the dentist. But I also think it’s kinda super fun; (I mean if they don’t die or something.. 🙃🤣) to see all the roots and how they are growing. I mean you really do feel blessed and happy to have them. You get attached to them. So I can see why your cute friends love it, and I can definitely see why you have anxiety. 😥 I’m so sorry you can’t get sleep; 💤 that’s one of the worst things; especially if you don’t feel good. You need the sleep to feel better but you don’t feel good enough to get to the place where you can sleep. Ugh, 😩 it’s a double-rooted vine! You just don’t know what to do.. 🫶🏻🥱🛌 I hope you can get some sort of relief
@Idplantthat

You're so sweet!

"Double rooted vine".... 😅😉

I keep telling myself that older folks don't need as much sleep. Lol 😶

Oh yes...there's something that is magical with repotting. Having your hands in the soil; the woody fragrance, and the surprise of the roots!

I'm living vicariously through my BFF 😄😍
@CutePolypremum 🤣🤣 That’s too great; your plants and her plants are lucky they have so much love. I tell myself that’s the reason why Saga digs and chews up plants. And her sister is the same; but with my clothes and shoes. She’ll get into my closet, get her head into a shirt, and refuse to let us take it off, so we generally go, “Okay, sister,” and put it on her and give her a shoe to carry. (She’s the bossiest little string bean.) But she loves you so much, she loves to hug you and sit in your lap. She wants you to lay your head on her chest, and she wraps her front paws around your neck one on each side of your shoulders and puts her head on top of yours, then pulls you close. (Seriously, we ask her all the time where her weirdness comes from.) When I get sick, my puppies lose it. I wake surrounded by toys, shoes, and anything else they think is special. I won’t go into some of the very surprising things that have made it into the house… 🤣🤦‍♀️
@CutePolypremum That’s Nurse Siggy (aka string bean; otherwise known as “Bossy Britches”). Don’t mind my awesome face. 🤣 It was a hard health day. Second is Siggy in her jammies. She wasn’t ready to take them off yet. Then that’s Saga next to her. Face of an angel, but man, she kills a lot of plants. Whenever she gets in double, she freezes. And then once, she realizes she’s not being scolded anymore; she comes over and hits you with her head and then leans on you to tell you it’s okay. She still loves you, even if you do plant trees in her yard. 🤦‍♀️🩵🐝🌸🫶🏻🐾
