# A request for emotional support/advice… I think my husband is mad at…

A request for emotional support/advice…

I think my husband is mad at me for letting the plants take over the house (about 200), so I guess I need to downsize my collection. 😞

I can accept the idea of giving some plants away, but I’m afraid of them not thriving in the recipients’ care.

If you’ve given plants away, how do you get over the fear that you’re sending them to an uncertain fate, especially if the recipient is a stranger?

Photo is of the “plant room,” where I can have as many plants and lights as I want… it’s the rest of the house that’s the point of contention.

I think posting on blossom app might help! They help sell your collection to people who are searching specifically for things and not just random plant killing normies 🤣

Is it this one?

Here scan this it’s my QR code to the website. You don’t necessarily have to sign up through me, but this should take you to the app. I had trouble finding it at first.

Plant killing normies.... Lol. I'm so dead. 🫣🤣

Yikes! 😱 I can see why hubby is perturbed. Have you considered investing in a green house?

#### Madsさんが2025-01-13に返信しました

Our someday plan is to build a sunroom specifically for plants, but that’s years away. I’m in PA, so a greenhouse would need to be heated.

### Plantgirlyさんが2025-01-13にコメントしました

I also think that maybe you could give your husband away instead! Problem SOLVED! Or perhaps trading him for more plants?? Just kidding obviously! But plants help with mental health! Tell him He is jeopardizing your sanity

#### Madsさんが2025-01-13に返信しました

lol! Truly. I keep the plants alive, and they keep me alive. His issue is he sleeps during the day (night shift), so he wants the house to be dark, and I, of course, want the lights on and windows bare at all times. 😆

#### Plantgirlyさんが2025-01-13に返信しました

That is a fair argument and I don’t blame him! Maybe just take the plants out of his sleeping area? Idk  
Or keep the windows shut, get grow lights and keep the grow lights on when he’s at work

#### Madsさんが2025-01-13に返信しました

Night plants! Interesting idea! 🧛🏻‍♀️

He normally sleeps in the living room, which is set up to be dark for him. But now he wants also to be able to sleep in the bedroom sometimes, which means no grow lights in there, or in the hall… and I have a lot of plants in both spots. 😕

### Wolfen 🐺さんが2025-01-13にコメントしました

Maybe talk to him about what would help both of you. If you've taken over every space, par back so that the areas he spends time in are plant free.

### Wolfen 🐺さんが2025-01-13にコメントしました

Blosm is a good app for giving or selling or swapping. It does not guarantee a good home though. They also have plant issues or killers unfortunately lol. I would just talk to the person, extra points if they use planta. Encourage them to download Planta so that you can transfer the plant to them on here, and they have all the care and history.

#### Madsさんが2025-01-13に返信しました

That’s a good idea!

#### Wolfen 🐺さんが2025-01-13に返信しました

Then too, if they participate in the groups you can lowkey stalk your plant 😆 🤣

#### Madsさんが2025-01-13に返信しました

Very good point! 🪴👀😄

### SnappityWhizBangさんが2025-01-14にコメントしました

You can list the plants for sale (on FB or other sites). Often when someone is willing to pay money for something they are more likely to take care of it. They have an investment. But also maybe tell them about proper care in the description when selling so they understand what they are getting into.

#### Madsさんが2025-01-14に返信しました

Yes, that’s true… then the person is making an investment in the plant (however small), which hopefully motivates them to care for it well. 💚
