I like this daring approach to getting more plants! Also had to look up 'zombie leaves' and apparently they are sold as plants by themselves. From an ag extension school in NC::

Some, but not all, plants can be propagated from just a leaf or a section of a leaf. Leaf cuttings of most plants will not generate a new plant; they usually produce only a few roots or just decay. Because leaf cuttings do not include an axillary bud, they can be used only for plants that are capable of forming adventitious buds.

Fiddle, are you capable??

Mango seeds are quite distinctive, so if she remembers planting it but just doesn't remember the fruit it came from, perhaps it is something other than mango.

undersea hornets, hope you escaped in one piece!

This is a glorious, nerdy, delightful explosion of memeness! (thanks for sharing, your user name is quite apt 😂)

I didn't know that about rubber plants, thanks. Yes, I was thinking of the ficus benjamina, with smallish leaves and an arching/drooping habit.

If you have the space, a ficus is a pretty classic houseplant with different contours than the plants you have already.

lovely! There is a somewhat lonely orchid community at lemmy.ml (c/orchids). I don't know how to link/crosspost, but if you do, they might appreciate this :)

This makes sense. Sometimes my/our reflexive habit is More!, Bigger!, Faster!, and see where that's gotten our planet... Well, thank you for what you do :)

This isn't a solution to that problem, but perhaps it's a good time to check in again and ask of there's any material assistance that would be helpful from the community? You take on what must be increasing costs, and there are many here who appreciate the instance and would be glad to make a small towards additional drives or whatever else might be needed.
