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.

the internet had me worried about over watering my peace lily and I've never had a plant before so I didn't know how dry soil should be to be considered "dry" and long story short she was not in good shape
turned out it desperately needed to be repotted
my friend told me to put it in a container of water,
and it perked up considerably!!
I went and got a clay pot (and drainage saucer) and potting mix and when I came back I loosened the root ball as best I could and repotted the plant:

I love my plants so much, but sometimes I would rather die than continue to try repotting one.

The spike plant I was talking about. It had a lot more leaves when I saw it still kicking in the greenhouse but I was trying to remove as many yellowed leaves as I dared (there's still some left, but if I had taken those there'd be no plant left!). It's a real smol one; I think it was like $3 at the greenhouse we bought it from? Anyways photos of process time-
Gave the rootball a good long soak after it got a soap/rinse since it was bone-dry. Funnily it may have been the dryness that saved it from getting nuked by the canadian freezes- but it could also just be the nature of Cordyline resilience. Speaking of the genus name- why do Dracaena come up for spike plants on google??? Is it that some Dracaena are substituted for Cordyline (valid idea considering the similarities), did Cordyline get reclassified as Dracaena like Sansevieria, or are the people at the top google results just dumb af???
Other issues this specimen had/has outside of foliar; the crown is crooked from it being planted on a lean when it was a still a plug, and the pllug itself is still jutting out from the soil itself. Also during the summer it grew a ton of big roots- that had nowhere to go so they just pushed the plant more and more out of its tiny pot.
Found a pot big enough (had to check in the old henhouse storage for a pot the right size- would normally disinfect the pot too before potting but it has been a HELLISHLY tiring day and I do not have the spoons or time to care) and get that baby potted and soiled up. For now we're keeping it with the remaining surviving cacti and the two new Peace Lilies in the one isolated room of the house. As it grows more leaves I'll begin to remove the remainder of the yellowing leaves.

Trying some alocasias in semi-hydro!
These are the 3 alocasia poly corms I shared from my prop jar about a month ago. Looking through the side of the jar all of the corms appear to have developed decent roots and one of them is also hitting the top of the jar.
The parent plant these corms come from is currently not a very happy camper. It’s just existing in a leafless state of dormancy. So I figured: why not throw these ones into semi hydro and see what happens.
