Apparently part of growing plants successfully is wanting to give the offshoots away, at least for me.
I enjoy seeing things take root, go to a new home, and inspire someone to be happier and healthier in life with their new bit of greenery. In that spirit here are some of the small plants I've given away this summer, all propagated from existing stock. Maybe this will inspire someone to try their hand at growing an easy houseplant, start with pothos or a Sansevieria and go from there.
The pothos that keeps on giving.
Check out those roots after this cutting spent almost two months in nothing but a glass of water.
Impressive!
Giving away a sextet of succulents... sort of.

Depending on how you count there are at least six different succulent plants here, so I stand by my alliteration. I put these plants out for anyone to take at an office - when I went back to check about 2 hours later they were gone. I think that means people need more green in their life, definitely in their offices.
Happy freestyling, and wherever you can, grow a garden.
