GetThrifted

Historically speaking, I haven't been very good with plants. I've had a few cacti over the years, and in the last year or so, my two cacti have barely been clinging to life. One was a gift from Esther when I started college, and one I purchased at the Durfee Conservatory at UMass around the same time. When Esther and I moved to a new apartment recently, I considered calling it quits on the cacti and starting fresh from scratch with new plants.

But a friend who was helping with the move made me change my mind, and inspired me to breathe new life into the two plants. Another friend came by recently to our new place and brought the plant you see below in the foreground (originally in the yellow pot) as a housewarming gift. Esther and I did some transplanting today and now I think the cacti in the background have a new lease on life (the green and blue pots came from a tag sale back in the beginning of the summer). The cutting our friend gave to us is also going to be happy with a bit more room. So huzzah! for pretty plants in pretty pots, and an apartment that has room for plant life without taking over all the space!
