OH repotted ours a few months ago and got 6/7 plants from it. Ours is in the lounge and in bloom - can't get rid of rest as everyone we knew has had plants from the last time we split! |

Two weeks ago I bought a Christmas arrangement in a naff sparkly basket from a well known DIY store forb £1.50, this included a Peace Lilly plus 3 others. All of the plants looked half dead but I only wanted the Peace Lilly. Thankfully the Lilly is now looking pretty healthy as are two of the others. The third one is a bit iffy but I will wait and see. |

I used to think that I would save the life of a plant by leaving it on the shelf but apparently not :-S |

They're cheery aren't they Wend :-) , when Dan was young he used to plant cuttings and had quite a little business going, spider plants, kalanchoes, Christmas cactus, shrubs from cuttings, he did well at the local boot fair with them . |

I used to get annoyed when I went to my local garden centre (well known) and found the plants wilting from lack of water. |

Yes, you must go back Rose. Kalanchoes root really easily. Just cut off the healthy bits and put them in a little water and they will produce roots in a week or so and you can pot them up. You should end up with several plants. I love Kalanchoes. |

I've been looking for a spider plant for ages, I had so many house plants which we sold or gave away before moving from Wales, so I'm pleased to get it in spite of the dead bits. |

I get even more peeved when rubbish plants are still priced as new. |

I know what you mean, but I have had many a bargain by pointing this out & offering silly prices for them. |

I so agree Rose, it is such a waste. Fortunately spider plants thrive on neglect. Wish you lived nearer - I have so many plants I could give you :-) |

when I see plants for sale in shops that have died because no one there could be bothered to spend a couple of minutes watering them, today I bought a spider plant ( was supposed to be some sensible shoes...but woman cannot live by shoes alone ;-) ) and it was as dry as a bone, many of the other plants were too far gone to save, but they were all on mats on trays so could easily have been watered. |
