My favorite snake plant had an accident! While I was at work, he was inadvertently knocked off of his perch on the plant stand by my fiancรฉ opening a door too enthusiastically ๐Ÿ˜… Luckily, only his pot cracked; otherwise heโ€™s just fine! I did have to repot him because of aforementioned cracked pot and also because in an effort to help, my fiancรฉ swept up the spilled soil from the floor and put it back in the pot, so it was full of dog hair and who knows ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ I gave Fernando fresh soil and a new pot and checked him over thoroughly; luckily snake plants are pretty tough. I sprayed him down with alcohol just in case anything from the floor was unsanitary (we keep a clean house, but winter inevitably leads to stuff coming in on the bottoms of shoes and Fernando was in the kitchen right by the door we use to go in and out). Phew! ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ Glad heโ€™s okay, heโ€™s one of my favorite plant babies! ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿชด His brother Hector was fine and stayed put, so allโ€™s well that ends well #SnakePlant #SnakePlantSquad #plantrescue #babevila

@BabeVila sounds like your fiancรฉ has yet to learn whatโ€™s what ! lol. Jk. Kinda ๐Ÿ˜Ž
@TexanExpat hahaha he is very clumsy! And knows nothing about plants ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ˜…
@BabeVila ha. Iโ€™m destined to die alone as some crazy plant lady (is there a male counter part to that ? Dude sounds weird) most likely. Maybe not. Perhaps one day when he really needs to butter up to you for something heโ€™ll figure out where to start ha
@TexanExpat donโ€™t sell yourself short! A man who loves plants with your intelligence level is a catch!
@SlickCookspine itโ€™s true!! My dog knocked down a pot of pink begonias several months ago and I lost my mind! Not on the doggy of course! It was an accident and she felt bad. But I actually cried because the way it fell, it got crushed and nothing was salvageable ๐Ÿ˜ญ Iโ€™m going to buy some more in the spring to replace them, they were the nicest shade of dusty pink. Lol still sad about it months later!
