Favourite plant: I just got a new ripple peperomia and I'm.. obsessed. any plant with pink or red accents owns my heart automatically
i love plants
I've been bothering my friends and family with plant talk enough and bless their souls for listening to me but it's time I found a new outlet heheh. I'm gonna drop some questions here, feel free to answer whichever ones you want!!
1. What was your first plant? (or the oldest one you own now, if you can't remember)
2. Do you "name" your plants? If so what's the best/funniest/your favorite name you or someone else has given one of your plants?
3. How did you get into owning plants?
4. How has the journey been for you so far? Easy? Tough? Have you killed a lot of plants throughout the learning process or have you been doing a pretty good job?
My answers:
1. I'm pretty sure my first plant was a string of pearls. She's still alive actually and requires almost nothing from me. Love her
2. I used to name them but I kept forgetting their names so not anymore tbh. all I know is that they're all women. dont ask why
3. I had a partner who was suuuper into plants. his room was basically a garden and I was mesmerized. ever since then I blew my money at plant nurseries at least once a month. it's kind of a problem but im not complaining
4. oh yeah I've killed a good few for sure. at the beginning I only owned succulents and cacti because I was too afraid to own anything else and I could not find the balance between over-watering and not watering enough for the life of me. my succulents either shriveled up because I neglected them for weeks at a time or the leaves fell off because I over-watered. I'm still in the learning stage for sure but I've had pretty good luck more recently! or im just learning how to care for them better
hopefully this sparks some conversation! hehe
