Houseplants - free [gone]

Hi all,

We’ve just adopted an indoor cat so are looking to “rehome” some of our houseplants (due to safety/space).

Here’s some info/pics (plant pots not included though I’m afraid):

  1. Golden Dragon Tree (Dracaena fragrans massangeana)

Around 4 feet tall and in good condition. I still have the tag that came with it, which includes some simple instructions.

  1. Swiss cheese plant (Monstera deliciosa)

A small Swiss cheese plant. Probably needs re-potting and something to hold it up now that it’s getting bigger! Bought from Pearspring in East Dulwich and I still have the label.

  1. Ivy plant (unsure of its official name… maybe a type of Devil’s ivy?)

I’m afraid I don’t have any info about this one… but it’s pretty low maintenance and has lots of new bits sprouting off it!

Just let me know if you’re interested in any/all of them. Thanks! Alice

I’d love the Ivy plant as I don’t have one of those, please.

If it’s still available, I’d love the golden dragon tree, please!

That Dracaena is gorgeous - I’ve spent the last 15 minutes trying to think where I could put it where it would get enough light - and SJM has snuck in.

I’ve enabled private messages for @alicelh and @SJM though so that you can share addresses/numbers privately.

I’d love the monstera if it’s not been claimed :slight_smile:

If any of these are still free I’d also really love one!

I think that ivy one is a silver pothos, they’re great, we have a massive one trailing from a tiny pot.

Hi @clausy, the ivy one (or silver pothos as it’s been identified!) is yours! Are you able to message me to arrange a time to collect? Sorry, new to all this so couldn’t work out how to message you! Alice

Hi @SJM @Polly_Martin @Eva, so sorry but someone got in there really quickly and snapped these ones up!

Thanks for your help @applespider! It is a gorgeous plant isn’t it, we’ll be sad to see it go (though the cute cat is making up for it!)

Done. Thanks

Just remember that the cat needs watered more often than the houseplants did :wink:

Hi everyone,
Sorry to bring this thread back - but we actually have a couple more houseplants available, and as they were so popular last time I thought I’d offer them here again.

We’ll be sad to see these ones go, but it’s a case of ‘better safe than sorry’ - our lovely cat has settled well but has taken to trying to chew these two!!!

  1. Some kind of dragon tree I think? You’d be welcome to have the pot too. Just a warning that it’s quite heavy so might need a car/help to transport it.

  1. Devils ivy. It’s got really long now! But could be trimmed. Again you’re welcome to the pot.

Thanks! By the way I can’t work out how to take the ‘Gone’ out of the title, but will post again to confirm once these are gone!

Gorgeous plants! Would love the dragon tree - can I check how tall it is?
Thanks :slight_smile:

Hi @Ames

@alicelh should be able to DM you and you can then respond, if there are any issues let me know and we can set-up a DM between you.

Thanks

Thanks so much for your help, I just tried to privately message @Ames but it said I wasn’t able to… it’s very possible I’m doing something wrong though! If you’re able to set up the DM that would be a huge help, thank you!!!

Done- I’ve removed myself from the DM so can’t see if it is working, but should both have a green icon top right and be able to message each other privately now.

It’s working - thank you again for your help, really appreciated.

Both plants are gone now!
