Rec | HELPING DYING PLANTS

🪴

I never thought I’d get asked this but a few days ago my friend who is out of town asked me to go to her place and water her plants. Her apartment was so silent and clean, and her plants were clearly struggling. I enjoyed filling a small glass I found in the kitchen with water and going back and forth watering her plants and refilling the glass until all were properly taken care of. I then left the keys back in the secret spot and left. I sent her an Instagram DM telling her it was done and it all worked out great! So happy for her plants.

Taking care of plants

"How am I ever supposed to take care of myself," I cried to my mom, "when I can't even take care of a plant?!" I was 15 and my cactus had just died from overwatering. I avoided house plants for years, until I came across a pothos while my mental health was in the gutter. The little thing became everything to me. I propagated it, bought more plants. Whenever dark clouds come rolling into my mind, I lay my plants extra attention. "I take good care of myself, little one," I tell them while watering them, "so I can take better care of you."

Watering my plants and flowers

I drink the water in my bottle and I refill it. I clean and put fresh water in the cat’s bowl nightly and I hear her drinking while I work at my desk or stand in the kitchen. but I water the plants and change the water in the flower vase and it disappears into the soil or into their stems silently and slowly, without me noticing. the soil is dry, the vase is half empty. The plant has new leaves, and the flowers brighten and stand straight for one more day.

house plants :)

House plants are more than decor. The life that they bring to a home is worth the upkeep. If you're out of town often, ask a neighbor/friend to take care of it. it takes a village most times and the love you put in comes back to you i promise. Even if it's something small, make sure you have a plant in your space.
