  1. Oh boy do I have a plant like that, and the worst part is that my gf gave it to me for out anniversary so I feel so guilty hoping it will just kick the bucket but also it feels like if I don’t hit just the right watering schedule it looses its shit

  2. As an avid gardener myself (run several local community gardens including my own and a NE wheat farm) I can relate.

    Life would be so much simplerer if plants obeyed our commands!! Ah well, can’t even get my dog to obey my commands!!
