I was curious and wanted to make a Friday poll… _Lagt ut av Alyssa den 2024-11-15_ Good morning planties! I was curious and wanted to make a Friday poll to see where everyone falls on the plant parent spectrum! 🪴🌱💚 So, are you more of a helicopter plant parent, watering your plants more than they might need? 🚁 Or, are you a hands off plant parent and when you think about watering them, you give them an extra few days because “they can make it” lol? 🌵 Comment down below or use either emoji 😊 ## 29 kommentarer ### Sonja kommenterte den 2024-11-15 I'm a new plant mama. Just started loving and owning them this summer. So I have to say that I'm a helicopter plant mama. Only because I'm looking for something NEW every day!! I'm so excited!! A new flower, a new leaf, a new sprout!! Something!! Anything!!! At first, I was over-watering, but I've learned my lesson. Now I just make my rounds. Talking to them, picking off any dry leaves, cleaning up, blah blah , you know - the typical helicopter mama! 💚 That's me!! #### Alyssa svarte den 2024-11-15 Awww that sounds so sweet, I’m sure all your plants love your care 💚 ### Robin kommenterte den 2024-11-15 I’m a total 🚁 but working on being more chill 😂 #### Alyssa svarte den 2024-11-15 Haha that’s good, some love neglect more than anything ### Sophie kommenterte den 2024-11-15 Definitely 🌵 and my plants thrive. maybe they can detect stress lol #### Alyssa svarte den 2024-11-15 Haha right? I am the same way, just sitting around looking at them and then wondering when the last time was that they had a water lol 🌵💀 #### Sophie svarte den 2024-11-16 Exactly haha ### Plantsmybeloved kommenterte den 2024-11-15 I'm definitely helicopter parent lol, until I get to my succulents and a few days turns into a few months. They're thriving though so 🤷 #### Alyssa svarte den 2024-11-15 Oh yeah succulents and cacti love neglect, I have a snake plant and she doesn’t care when I water her, just at some point ### Jillian Champ kommenterte den 2024-11-15 I’m kinda both 🚁🌵 ### ✨PlantMama✨ kommenterte den 2024-11-15 helicopter lol, I have some drama queens that will play dead if I wait #### Alyssa svarte den 2024-11-15 Ahhh that makes sense, some plants out there need CONSTANT attention lol. I can’t have those right now because I have a lil toddler and she is a bundle of energy and attention seeking lol ### max kommenterte den 2024-11-15 started as a 🚁 but as i’ve gotten more plants i’ve become much more a 🌵 because i’ve started to forget about watering them 🫠 #### Alyssa svarte den 2024-11-15 Same here, I realized today I let my scindapsus go for almost two weeks without water 🤷🏻‍♀️ ### Nani kommenterte den 2024-11-15 I’m the parent that gets told how to parent because I have no idea what I’m doing. Aka why I use this app 🤣🤣😌 #### Alyssa svarte den 2024-11-15 Hahaha love this 😂 ### Elphiesplants kommenterte den 2024-11-15 I started off as a helicopter parent but now that I’m 3-4 years into my plant parent journey I’m more hands off. Honestly, some plants thrive off a little neglect 😂 #### Alyssa svarte den 2024-11-15 That’s good! So true too, they almost don’t care that you don’t care 😂 ### Hayley kommenterte den 2024-11-15 I'm definitely both, but helicopter is my more natural state! I'll get into helicopter mode and want to crawl into the tropical cabinet with my babies lol. I don't overwater them, but everyone gets personal attention at least once a day 🚁 When the depression hits, we find out who the real strong ones are in the house 😅 I can easily go 2-3 weeks without touching any of them, even if I know they need water. Luckily that doesn't happen \*too\* often anymore, but I definitely have some troopers I've had to nurse back from my own neglect 🙃 #### Alyssa svarte den 2024-11-15 Awww that would be a dream to be amongst the plants all day lol. Ugh yeah can definitely relate in a way, it just slips your mind for awhile until things start going south. I’m glad it is getting better for you though, most plants are hardier than we give them credit for too! 😊 [Flere kommentarer](https://getplanta.com/community/lZ7uAE3pQ86jnFGxrCwLrg/amZEZ0mPRtWwfKI9_Zm6rA.md?cursor=mBB36c0wCBhQb3N0cy5HZXRBbGwAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAnMKtV9EPfGA&language=nb) --- _Planta-fellesskapet (https://getplanta.com).
