Been sick for a few days, so Iāve only been watering the plants that would die if I didnāt. Lol. Catch up time! Anyone else get overwhelmed with their plants like this? Iām figuring at least theyāre easier than kids and dogs, and I survived both of those. Lol.
Iāve had to do this for a few weeks because my chronic illnesses flared š i totally get overwhelmed when i get sick. I hope you feel better soon!
1 Like Thank you. I have fibromyalgia, so that slows me down a little during flares.

If plant care is something that is overwhelming it may be time to gift some plants to friends and family. I give away and sell plants I no longer want or have an attachment to. Alternatively if I ever donāt feel like doing something like watering or misting, I donāt. I miss a day or two here and there. Sometimes Iāll bunch together misting or a couple days of watering. Other times I like just having a couple to water and keep up with them daily. Pests on the other hand, can be overwhelming and annoying. But general plant care as a hobby should not become overwhelming. If it is, cutting down on the number maybe be a solution. Also itās fun sharing plants with others š¤ Hope you feel better soon!
0 Likes Iāve been doing that. We have a womanās group at church and they love it because Iām always walking in with plants. Lol. The other thing Iāve done is Iām slowly weaning out the foliage type plants and getting more succulents. Much less care. As far as the extra work, they also bring me such joy that I couldnāt part with them. Iām stuck in the house so much that they at least brighten my day and give me something to do. ā¤ļø
