And now, the new plants

After a long time the weather and my personal schedule have decided to align to allow me some dedicated plant-time. So I grabbed this opportunity with both hands and even got some additional new plants, as well as pots and all the needed equipment and supplies.
This is the obligatory 'before' photograph, with all the plants neatly arranged next to their prospective new homes. On the right, is one of the new plants, a Dracaena Compacta. I had one before which passed away as a result of over-watering. I also have one at my workplace, which has successfully survived many a forgotten watering.

Then on the left is two Verbena Lascar plants, a white and purple variety. These are going to stay outside on the porch to provide some colour. Interestingly, whilst re-potting all the above, I found the Verbena's to have more than one per pot and re-planted into multiple pots.

I noticed that all the plants had very well developed roots which in all cases seemed to be almost too much for the pots they started in, and I hope they will start to flourish in their new containers.

And this is the complete set after re-potting them. Already looking a lot better than a few weeks ago with one web-covered Yucca.
