# Three years ago I promised myself I’d stop buying plants and just…

_Posted by Mr Variegated on 2025-02-08_

Three years ago I promised myself I’d stop buying plants and just grow what I have.  
Sept 2024 broke down and bought a Thai cause who isn’t right now.  
Jan 2025 traded an Obliqua for this huge Dieffenbachia. So didn’t have to spend $.  
Today I broke down and bought this Dieffenbachia Big Ben Variegated. I’m hoping I’m not relapsing… lol
