I once kept a houseplant alive for 12 years before a pet killed it. The oldest I have now is about 3 years old. Stew Face 2

I have two plants that are quite "old". One is a Sanseveiria (mother-in-law tongue) I've had it since my oldest child was little (about 26 years) and a Euphorbia trigona (African Milk Tree-I just found out what it was today on this forum) I got it when my youngest child was little (about 23 years). The Sanseveria was just a couple of small fronds and the Euphorbia was just a small piece.

I have a dracena that is over 30 years old. A neighobr gave it to me when she moved in 1979. She said it was too tall to move so she left it with me when she moved. I have moved twice since then and it is still going strong. The top bent over and broke off once but there are at least half a dozen other branches that have developed. I don't know how old it was when I received it but it was about 4 - 5 feet tall back in 1979.
