True confession time! How many plants are you keeping alive? How many are in your graveyard? I’m at 64/41 🌱🌵🪴

14/4

### Aliac01 commented on 2024-03-27

I mean… 17/0, almost 16/1. My fuchsia is hanging on by threads

#### GreenishThumbelina replied on 2024-03-27

Impressive! I keep wanting to grow lavender indoors, even though 3 of my graveyard plants are lavender.

To be fair, most are only a year or two old at this point, but other than that fuchsia all my other plants are thriving! I’ve even taken over the care of my roommate’s plants, which are 5 that weren’t in good shape when I moved in. One is also in bad shape, a dragon fruit plant, but I just repotted it and (if it’s strong enough to survive) it should be improving within a month.

My roommate had a poor cactus type plant in a ceramic pot without drainage holes in regular potting soil. The poor chlorophyll baby managed to last till this week. It did improve after I took over watering it and switched it to about half as much as it’s pot could hold once a month instead of the every other week full drowning my roommate was doing. It’s leaves are even thickening now!

1/0

#### GreenishThumbelina replied on 2024-03-27

That’s how it all starts 😂. Wish I could send you some cuttings!

### 🌿•Stephanie•🌿 commented on 2024-03-27

I just started 😅

Oof I can’t say I’m proud of 114/72 😬😬 But to be fair to myself, I put plants in the graveyard after I sell them or give them away. So the “dead” number is pretty inflated

#### Cemarshall replied on 2024-03-27

I was curious to know what people do with the plant’s app page after giving away. I’ve been avoiding putting props on here because I don’t want a bunch of stuff in the graveyard after giving them away. Planta needs a gave away option!

#### GreenishThumbelina replied on 2024-03-28

I’d also love a cuttings tracker.

#### Cemarshall replied on 2024-03-28

Yeah! That’s a great idea too!

### GreenishThumbelina commented on 2024-03-27

I have a prayer plant that I put in the graveyard, but when I went to reuse the pot, it was back from the dead 🤷🏻‍♀️. ⬇️

That’s crazy! Mine is about to go to the graveyard

#### GreenishThumbelina replied on 2024-03-28

I just talked to someone at my local plant shop that swears they stress drop their leaves when moved, even slightly, which tracks for me.

74/81🫠 I recently moved across the county and most of them got stuck on a truck over night and didn’t make it😭

#### GreenishThumbelina replied on 2024-03-27

Tragedy!

### Alex commented on 2024-03-27

37/19 😅 such is life
