I went out of town on business for 2 weeks and set up a timer with drip irrigation for my plants on the patio. It came on every other day. I just knew half would be dead in the summer heat. All looked lush and gorgeous! Looked better than I when I hand watered! None of them missed me!🤣 Took down the whole watering system. My dogs liked chewing it.

It is always like this. They thrive in our absence. And then we feel like overprotective parents 😅.

I feel u!! Like just 2 weeks ago I was watching my monstera’s new leaf some in and it hadn’t moved in like a week so I started getting worried especially since I was going on a 3 night camping trip the beach day! But ofc when I came back the leaf was already almost completely grown!! I was mad and confused and happy all at the same time!! 🤔

I hear you! My grandma used to say: if you watch the milk boil it will never boil, you stop watching it and it comes out of the pot 😂

Okay that- why is that so relatable, but also not at the same exact time? Happens with most of my plants- but some of them hate me way to much to “reward me” like that. It’s pretty complicated.

That’s why they say the good old leaf it tf alone method does some good 😂
