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 :)

0개 좋아요When 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.

0개 좋아요polka 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.
좋아요 1개Jumping in here to say that I am giving up on the Arrowhead varieties. I have had terrible luck with those!

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? 😁
좋아요 1개Running out of space so now it’s about light needs. That and toxicity to felines as we now have a new, very curious cat!

2개 좋아요I just go by the seat of my pants or sometimes I stop by and collections like all the begonias
좋아요 1개I 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.
좋아요 1개We 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
2개 좋아요Prayer plants 😩. So beautiful but my nemesis! Never again.
