# Here’s a poll question for you all - do you research your plants…

Here’s a poll question for you all - do you research your plants before buying, or do you find a pretty plant and say “yep, that one’s mine!” And hope for the best with plant care?

I have limited windows in my apartment so I usually scan them on here to make sure I have the proper light requirements but after that I shop purely off vibes :)

That’s a smart move! I (mostly) do the same thing. I’m just itching for a new plant lol

#### Jneyman님이 2025-10-29에 답변했습니다.

Same! I’ll find someone pretty but then do a quick check to make sure I can give them a good home

#### meg님이 2025-11-01에 답변했습니다.

sameee there’s a couple i want so bad but can’t provide the right light for right now and it’s killing me inside lol

When I first started I picked because they were pretty but I learned more about plants and now know what works and more on what I like, I have a few I first got that I would not buy again.

#### McKaslin’s Garden님이 2025-10-29에 답변했습니다.

What kind of plants will you not get again?

#### The leafy Angel님이 2025-10-29에 답변했습니다.

polka dot plant, it’s easy and was super cut small but it got tall and leggy and just isn’t as pretty lol and just about any succulent, they just die on me.

Jumping in here to say that I am giving up on the Arrowhead varieties. I have had terrible luck with those!

#### Waspinator님이 2025-10-30에 답변했습니다.

I wouldn't buy a kalanchoe; i don't know what it is but they just die

### Nan님이 2025-10-29에 댓글을 남겼어요.

lol, I typically dream about them first 😂 that’s what leads me to buy

#### Mads님이 2025-10-30에 답변했습니다.

Ok it’s not just me? 😆 I dreamt I found 4 baby geogenanthus ciliatus and I bought 2 (I wanted all four but didn’t want to look like a weirdo - in my dream… 🤪).

They’re really hard to find irl. So if you see one… buy one if you like and let me know where you got it? 😁

Running out of space so now it’s about light needs. That and toxicity to felines as we now have a new, very curious cat!

#### Mads님이 2025-10-30에 답변했습니다.

Photo of new kitty baby?

Buy then research most of the time

### Yup님이 2025-10-29에 댓글을 남겼어요.

🤣😞

### Plant nana님이 2025-10-29에 댓글을 남겼어요.

I just go by the seat of my pants or sometimes I stop by and collections like all the begonias

### Whit\_Y님이 2025-10-29에 댓글을 남겼어요.

I started out grabbing all the plants and figuring it out (or not) later lol

I like to scan the plant with Google Lens and get quick info if I’m unsure about a plant and its needs.

### LittleMorningLatte님이 2025-10-29에 댓글을 남겼어요.

We listen, and we don't judge... I just say "I like that one! Hope it doesn't die!" I'm not proud of this but oh well XD

### Debbie님이 2025-10-29에 댓글을 남겼어요.

Prayer plants 😩. So beautiful but my nemesis! Never again.
