i was looking at my plants, and i noticed some of them are dying
i definitely am terrible at watering them and i feel bad about it,
so i was wanting some assistance; how do you remember how to
water your plants?

The only "plants" I water currently are my marimo balls.
And I only remember about them because the cats drink out of the cups the marimos are in.
And by that I mean, they will sit next to the almost empty cups and death stare @ me until I fill them up lmao.

(oh no! Dying plants ;n;)

I usually move them somewhere where they are more noticeable/where you see them every day. So it triggers a "oh hey i should water them".

I have this cute magnet that holds the calendar on the fridge that says to water your plants.

Thank you all for those ideas! Sadly I'd have to stop my cat since none of mine are aquatic plants so she'd be eating soil lol.
All of my plants are in my room so I could move them around a bit so they stick out more!

And a calendar would be super useful! (I know what I want this giftgiving season!)

I have a silly lil question for y'all:

if you could recieve any plant in the world, what would you want?

Personally, I would want a well established wisteria - and since this is all fantasy I'll say that I have a huge trellis too that creates an arch over a part of my garden

Code: Select all

Heliconia flowers are gorgeous, but it gets really cold here so it won't be suitable. xc

My flowers are done, they came out pretty good for my first time pressing. (Excuse my messy handwriting)

I had to search for heliconia because i hadn't actually heard of them before, but i actually think i may have seen them somewhere - not sure where though. Very pretty!
After writing this i realised that i have seen then before! I've seen bird-of-paradise haha

i love plants

ahh my life revolves around my plants!! I only started proper gardening and hoarding last year so my knowledge is pretty limited to the plants I own. My room is called the "rainforest" of the house because of the small trees, succulents, cacti and everything in between I have. I don't have a garden, but I have a slip outside my house where I keep my precious'. It's pretty bare at the moment because it's winter here but the herbs are still doing well and the few winter flowers I have are looking good! I live for end of season sales in my local garden centre ahah, I have so many plants that I've nursed back to health after getting them for less than dollar because they were a bit withered

If trees count, I'm absolutely in love with the rainbow eucalyptus. Also cherry trees. The colorful little petals are just so gorgeous. And dragonblood trees, because they just look like something straight out of a fantasy movie with floating islands and stuff.


I also keep thinking about lemon trees. But with my experience with my last babby, I'm kinda scared to. I didn't know how to deal with the pests it got, so eventually it just died.

welcome JJ; i had to search for night sky petunias as i hadn't heard of them before, but they are stunning <3
gardening and plants are a big, and very important part of my life, so I know what you mean, I only really
began collecting plants over the last few years too but i always used to garden with my dad when i was
younger.

I hadn't even thought of the end of season sales, that's a brilliant idea haha; my nearest garden center is a 10
minute walk away so I might go visit if they're still open. I really wish there were a nursery near me so in
spring I could get some new babies!


Trees definitely count!! And... I think I may want a rainbow eucalyptus now... I looove sakura; we have a tiny tree related to cherry blossoms in our garden and it's so sweet. Haha dragonblood trees look very tolkien imo.

I'd say try again, if you can! I'd love a lemon tree but I have seriously 0 clue how to begin one, and I've never tried growing from seed so that would terrify me.
