Ama the plant Mama.

Greetings plant family, I have a question. Do you have people that try to pinch off a piece of your plants when they come to visit? I have a friend that I wonā€™t let visit me because they feel like they can just take a piece of my plants. Asking sometimes and not asking sometimes. I do not want anyoneā€™s hands on my babies! What would you do? I donā€™t want any of my plants to die because of someoneā€™s greed. Also the person is not good with plants. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    I completely agree!! Just because we are friends doesnt mean you can take pieces of my plants! I would tell them you are trying to make sure they grow and stay healthy so if they want a cutting they need to ask so you can make sure the plant stays alive. Or i would just not let them come over if the keep crossing a boundary you setšŸ¤·šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø

    Maybe move them to a closet or in a locked room? I recommend telling your friend just straight up no, that those plants are your property, and not theirs, and they donā€™t have any reason to touch them unless you tell them they can. Iā€™ve done it with my friends before when they touch stuff in my room that I donā€™t want them to touch. Itā€™s a little hard, but it gets the message across. GL! :)

      Iā€™ve never repotted mine, but when plants are due for a watering when I repot them, I water them.

    Eewwww what a horrid person. I would definitely confront them about it, saying they harmed a plant and that's not okay. And id just always meet them out, especially if they couldn't be respectful. If they want a plant prop they should ask, and if its not a good time to prop that plant, or you just dont want to, because you love the current look, they should accept that.

    I always ask. But I'm a new plant parent. I asked my sister for cuttings and she got upset. I'll never ask again. My mom has given me cuttings. I have no problem giving cuttings, but if someone touches my plant sans permission, I will get upset. That's rude. It's also stealing.

    Also, I believe folks need to respect boundaries. I'm not moving my plants around foe company. If I can't trust someone to not touch my plants (or anything else I have in my house), then that person is not welcome. I don't care if we are related.

      And you should not have to! It's your house and they are your plants!
