When you buy a new plant thinking it’s an “easy care,” then look it up on Planta \& see “Hard.” 😭

Haha right? I almost feel like planta goes down to the lowest denominator 😂

If it helps, I think Planta exaggerates sometimes about the difficulty 😅 For example, Philodendron billietiae is basically indestructible, but Planta labels it “medium”. So I wouldn’t worry too much

Thanks! I have enough “fussy” plants, lately if I get a new one it has to be fully chill. No grow light or humidifier required is ideal.

I testify to the Billietiae being indestructible and even self sufficient. I feel guilty around the two I have outside because they do great and I barely remember to water them.
