Have you ever given a plant as a gift? I think it would be nice, but I'm also worried that giving someone a gift they have to take care of is more of a burden than a present.

If the person loves plants, they’re absolutely not a burden. Just be sure you’re gifting a low maintenance plant and not one of those dramatic, droops if not watered with exactly 2.5 ounces of purified water every 6 days, plants

Succulents. Sanseveria (snake plant). All good with a water every 7-10 days

Second the snake plant very low maintenance

I think it depends on your person - I would love it as I have an office garden. But whatever plant you give make sure it’s pet friendly as you don’t know if it will go home with them and if they have pets.

a nice rich ZZ plant would be a nice gift.

Yup. I’ve done it when they got promoted. It was a low maintenance plant. They loved it but agree on the others. It depends on the person.

Long post alert; I have been interviewing with a b4 for a senior con role since Mar end. Cleared all the rounds including case study and got strong rating as well as good feedback. Fast forward to last week, the talent POC calls me up and informs that she has asked the business if the position is still open, because now they just need the business approval to roll out the offer. I immediately felt demotivated as to ‘why now’ after all rounds have been cleared (continued in the comment below)

Hi all! What would you do with this indoor yucca? I never expected it to live in the first place, and now she’s 5 feet tall! The stems are getting gnarly and curving. Should I trim this plant, or get some wire to help it grow straighter? Maybe this is just how they grow 🤷🏻‍♀️

Does anyone know what’s going on with my philodendron?

Good thing, bad thing, or just a thing that happens? Anyone have some insight?
