# I’ve had a rough two weeks. Today I thought, “I can’t have all these…

I’ve had a rough two weeks. Today I thought, “I can’t have all these plants. If something goes wrong I won’t be able to take care of them.”

…but then I walk into my plant room and see a new growth point, a bloom, and roots on props I made less than a week ago. I’m flooded with joy and right back in it. 💚

I am going through a rough patch as well. My plants have been keeping me going. Enjoy yours!

You too! I hope things get easier for you soon. 💚

Okay this gave me hope that the plants will get me through this!

The life of a plant parent! I’ve gone from 0 to over 100 plants in less than 6 months and I get overwhelmed A LOT, but happy new leaves, growth points and blooms remind me I’m doing my best! Seeing them happy really does a lot for the seratonin.

💯!

Btw can I safely assume you have a Philodendron Dark Lord? 😄

I have 2 🤪 absolutely my favorite plant. I have one big mature guy and one I’m growing from a cutting

Very cool! It’s on my list. 😄

They’re kind of hard to find, but honestly if you can find a cutting you should get it! Once mine rooted (which did take a frustratingly long time) it started growing pretty fast!
