These two snake plants were both rescues: the one on the left from someone who moved from a large house to a small condo and the one on the left from an estate sale where everything was being sold due to the family moving to Africa for missions work. Both had their own issues, as you can see the left one was flopping over - HARD - to both sides and the right one... well... the girl admitted to me she hadn't watered it in 2 months to see how well it COULD do, without. đ Yeah.
I decided since they were similar height, I'd replant them together. Snake plants like to be pot-bound, meaning they're okay đđģ in close quarters with other snake plants. I suspect these will shoot out a flower due to stress of being re-potted, and then in a few months, I'm hoping I'll see real growth.
Oftentimes, I just wear non-latex gloves when working with re-potting, so I can really feel the plants and the soil and other times, like tonight, I just dig my nails (literally) into the dirt. I mixed up some indoor soil, Orchid bark, perlite, and coconut coir, along with a few rocks from the top of the right planter, and look at this beauty now. I may remove or readjust the stakes after I move it back to work, where the left plant has been for the last year, but otherwise, I'm actually very happy with this.
