Here is my regrown Persian shield plant. In February, it was eaten down to a nub by a rat. This is one of my favorite plants and needlessly to say I was pretty upset when I saw it. There was actually nothing left except a half an inch and a couple small leaves. Iβve been working for months on this plant in order to get it to come back. Itβs doing very well. This is the same plant that was in the blue pot in my oasis. That was prior to the rat, eating it. Now itβs doing great. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #NewPlantMom #SucculentLove #RarePlants #PropagationStation @AdonicKohleria2 @BabeVila @BuffCaperspurge @DreamMachine @FamedGymealily @HFplantoasis @princesspitstop #OutdoorGrowing @GreatestYuzu9 @MamaLinne

I have always said never underestimate the plants' will to survive & thrive!! Ive brought back more than my share from rhe brink. Usually from cold damage, sometimes unknown. I have had to prune every single lead & sign of life, leaving a sad little stem, much woese looking than Charlie Browns Christmas tree!! None have failed me!!! Some take longer than others but trust me; just like a rescue dog KNOWS hes been rescued, plants KNOW they r loved & cared for & never let u down. I have had 6 plants w/thrips and other than that horrid 6 week memory, thats all that remains of thhose invaders!!! πβπΌβπΌ πβπΌβπΌ ππ πππ½πΌ, πβπΌβπΌ ππ βπβπΌ!! π»π ππ₯ ππ§ππ£ ππ π€π ππ π‘π!!!πͺ΄ππβοΈππ PS: just out of curiosity, how long have u had DaVinci? I only cause i just got one a month or so ago & am thrilled but cant wait til Zeus gets as full as urs!! (& needs an 8" pot!)!!! U cant beat a purple plant!!!! Looks perfect!!! I am totally against product testing on animals so forgive me, but i hope that rat ended up in a cage in a laboratory somewhere!!!!!
Great to hear itβs doing well after a pesky animal eating on it. Iβm so glad that you posted this because a neighbor of mine gave me a piece of one of their plants but they didnβt know what the name of it was and it turns out itβs the exact same thing that you posted so thank you. Much appreciated.!
@ZanyChichipe11 , you are very welcome, Heather. This plan has beautiful purple and dark green metallic looking leaves. Iβve never seen anything like it. After this one was eaten down I bought another one so I have two.
@Shells_Garden , hi Michelle. Yes, the plants are outside. I have two of them.
