I’d like to report a plant murder.

Today I was taking care of my plants - watering, fertilizing - and I was carrying them to the garage in a large tray. My peperomia deppeana (Ana) lifted right out of her pot and there were barely any roots attached. I was going to try to put her back in the pot and see if she would root down again, but instead I gave her pot to my watermelon peperomia (Walter). So I just put her out in my outdoor garden and thought “if she lives, she lives.”

It is a really nice terracotta pot (painted white) and I’ve been working on getting Walter going by putting him under a grow light I recently set up primarily for my monstera plants. It looks too big for him but it’s very shallow. I feel like a terrible plant parent, but I wasn’t very emotionally invested in her and I swear it was an accident that she came out of her pot.

😂😂😂 I was waiting for you to point fingers at a cat or toddler but you turned yourself in!!!!

I plead guilty of 2nd degree plant murder.

#### Jneyman respondió el 2025-08-07

Could probably argue it down to plantslaughter…. Not premeditated… though I guess you did kinda dump the body after 🧐🧐🧐

#### happysoxdonkey respondió el 2025-08-07

Yes a good attorney should be able to argue it down to negligent plantslaughter lol

### KJ comentó el 2025-08-07

ROfLOL. Plantslaughter!

I mean… I’m sorry for your loss, ma’am. 😉 You did the right thing confessing to the planta police…

#### happysoxdonkey respondió el 2025-08-07

Hahaha I expect the planta police to show up at my doorstep sometime soon. I planted the evidence right in my front yard!

Sounds like the child might need to go into foster care for eventual adoption. The court grants you full custody but you're on thin ice 😆

#### happysoxdonkey respondió el 2025-08-07

LOL please let me keep my monsteras!
