TIMELINE

May 16/20: Snake Plant 001 was a sweet birthday gift from a dear friend. It’s so beautiful and it makes me happy every time I see it.

Jul 19/20: I re-potted Snake Plant 001 because it looked rather cramped in its nursery pot. It didn’t look overly root bound when I took it out though so fingers crossed it will be ok in a (slightly) larger pot.
