I cannot gift plants even used a magnifying glass any help out there?

If you are having trouble finding a gifted plant, try zooming in on your device. Newly gifted plants will sparkle and give a beam of light.

If you are having trouble placing a plant to give because of the recent glitch and cannot find an open space, try this. Visit the friend's island. Close the bush list on the left side. Move to a different part of the friend's island that might have space. Tap on the trowel icon to bring the bush list back up and select a bush. If there is space available, hopefully it will land on it. I hope the developers will fix this glitch soon.
