Look at what I rescued from a wheelie bin this morning....

[IceIceBabyBump]

Isn't she gorgeous?

Some absolute tosser had just fucked her into their bin 😢

I saw the leafy bit sticking out the top of a wheelie bin on my dog walk and had to save her. I didn't expect her to be quite so call - trunk just kept on coming.

I've potted her and I'm letting her rest and acclimatize in my bathroom for now before I find her permanent home.

As you can see, I don't have a nice pot for her yet so she's having to make do with a nursery pot and a dinner plate. Don't judge us.

I''m with you @VegetablesFightingToReclaimTheAubergieneEmoji and @viques .

I also stand them up etc if they are fallen over, push bits back into the pot if any are broken off etc

I put a little cactus back into its pot in Ikea a few weeks ago (saying "Oh you poor little thing you've got knocked out") and I got thoroughly prickled! The woman next to me and I chorused "No good deed goes unpunished!" (you'd think we had rehearsed it) and had a laugh over it.

I’ve absolutely met my people here. I thought I was the only who would talk to poorly plants in shops.

was just looking for Mother’s Day gift ideas. And came across this …. www.beardsanddaisies.co.uk/collections/houseplants/products/plant-rescue-bundle

Bloody love that moji
🥰🥰🥰🥰🌱

Ah lovely, imagine throwing out a healthy plant. Many years ago my dad was renovating a house and he found a little plant clinging to life in a bit of moss in an old broken piece of gutter. He took it home and planted it in the garden and it grew to be a 60 foot plus pine tree that we all practically lived in when were kids.

That's a lovely story

Sorry to hijack, but as there is a lot of love for plants, can my sad plant be rescued? I have been watering it, but it has descended into a state of depression - like it’s given up on life (coincided with me feeling like this) .

@Shitfather With the caveat that I know nothing much about plants, might you have over-watered it?

The bottom bit looks really healthy, it's just the top that's looking sad. Obviously. You can see this. I don't know what to do with that observation 🙃

Concur with @IceIceBabyBump, overwatering is the likely culprit. Wait until the soil is dry to the touch before watering. Benign neglect is generally the best policy for houseplant care.

That looks like over-watering to me.

You are killing her with kindness.

There's a new range on bloom and wild. They've partnered with an all female company that rescues plants. You get a large or medium plant and the rescue kit and nice basket for it and the instructions on how to give it the TLC it needs.

Thought it was a nice idea for Mother's Day. MIL is into plant rescue too so I'm going to order her one.

I've got a £10 off code if anyone wants to use and I get a credit too

Thank you all for responding to my pic. Yes the bottom one is very healthy. Top one is sad. I’ll stop watering.

Who says it's the law? 😋
