The ZZ plant was well overdue for a repot so decided I'd do it before tree pruning today. Shouldn't take that long right?
Oh darling
How greatly I underestimated what I was getting myself into. It took me several hours to untangle and tickle apart the roots from themselves before I could even think of repotting. I wish I took a photo after I got the roots free but I got interrupted during the repotting process due to having to help with a lamb and ended up forgetting.
The rootballs were so huge that I decided to instead divide apart some of the tubers where I could and repot them into several pots instead of a single giant pot.
one chunk of tuber got separated from the greenery but still had an eye so I threw it into a tiny pot to see what happens as well.
Two okay-ish stems got broken off accidentally so I decided to throw them in water to try rooting more up- not that I need more ZZ plants when one specimen has already become 3
While tree pruning outside is taking main priority I've been wanting to work on cleaning repotting up more of the houseplants so may try to juggle a little of each done each day. Will try to report for whichever houseplants get done next.

Ops I did it again... propagated a plant
I couldn't resist and I asked for permission to take it 🌿
I seriously got lost in the game of propagating plants for free 🤷🏻
It bugs me SO MUCH that the leaves are "upsidedown" because I had to stick it in water but I can't place water on the ceiling
Or can I... If I put it in soil and through the drainage holes it might work...

I’m usually in bed until 1-2 minutes before I have to start my work from home job. This morning I had to get up earlier and it’s almost worth it for the glorious morning sunshine (and a giant cup of tea)

Bit of a sloppy cold day today and hand is still aching so decided I'd focus more indoors and get the next houseplants on the queue tidied up which is- the birdsnest snake plants
I am SO sorry I did not take a better before photo (or even take any repotting process photos from here on) I thought I did but was wrong. I assure you the after photo will make up for it-
"But it looks the same though but just not blurry", sadly yes but I assure you there was work done; several older unstriped specimens were removed (at least a medium flowerpot's worth of material) as well as dead/unstriped leaves, got some fresh soil mixed in, rinsed the dust off the leaves, and also turned some of the divisions into a 3rd potted group!
technically one probably should separate all the plants into their own individual pots but I asked myself; do I want NINE different potted birdsnest snake plants to locate and care for? Do I not like them in a grouping implying a small colony of them? first answer is no, second answer is yes, so in a grouping they stay!
The OG pots will be moved to their old locations, the new one... not sure. Maybe in my bedroom too and see how much the striping stays/goes from the darker conditions. Let's hope they keep the stripes, I'm a sucker for stripes.
