And if you need one you can check the nearest graveyard. People tend to show up with flowers, plant them, and then throw away the pots. I could literally get several dozen plastic flower pots from the trash cans at my local graveyard whenever I want. There's not even anything besides flower pots and soil bags in there.
Why are you so wise? Do you have more tips like this one?
If you need fertilizer, you can go to the same graveyard and dig up the bones of someone's grandma. They have plenty anyway.
I'm not much of a gardener but I do have a frugal girlfriend who loves gardening.
What I can say is that sansevieria make decent gifts for people who are bad at plants; they don't really care much about getting too much or too little water or light. So they're great for people who forget to water their plants three weeks in a row and then water daily for a week because they keep forgetting they just watered the day before. (I'm speaking from first-hand experience here...)
