We just had a funeral for my dad and I know Loz has really missed me on here but now I need the idiots guide to some plants. I'm keeping some plants at my moms house. Some we know how to work with and other's we just have never messed with because - well we're cheap, and to just outright buy them is kinda expensive. These are the plants I don't know well.

Peace lily
Kalanchoe Blossfeldiana (WTF isn't there a better name for that?!)
Snake Plant
Dracaena
Prayer plant
Bonsai Sago Cycas (?)


Okay I think that's it. Some I'm keeping and some my mom is. The idiot notes are more for mom because we tend to kill things either from over watering or under watering. (She killed a 25 year old Aloe that belonged to my dad's mom.)
