Is it prankish when you overwater a plant and it protests by yellowing then dropping most leaves, only to surprise you with a stellar growing season!? I thought I really screwed up with Elmer to start out…

I’d say, definitely.  
Happy April Fools’ Day, Mikel.

I bought a philodendron florida green for my mom, and misread "gets over six feet tall" as "gets about 6 feet tall." He has grown about 4 feet in 6 months

My mother-in-law has a notorious brown thumb. One year, she tried to grow tomatoes in the garden bed in front of her house. They didn't have enough sun or water, so they didn't actually produce tomatoes. As a joke, another family member bought tomatoes on the vine from the grocery store and used the grocery store twisty ties to secure them to the half-dead tomato bushes, grocery store stickers and all. 🤣😅
