# Just for fun - what's one planty best practice or rule that you…

Just for fun - what's one planty best practice or rule that you refuse to follow?

For me it is separating new plants and letting them acclimate to the new environment. 😂 My plants get at most, a day, to get their ?$\*+ together in the new house. I do wash them pretty thoroughly and most of them also get repotted. Knock on wood, I have not had any pest issues... And only a couple plants have fully died from shock (RIP philo tortum lol... Didn't really like you anyways). Pic of my new moonshine snake plant that got this treatment 😂

Grow lights, if the plants don't thrive it's not meant to be

Oohhhh yea, i definitely repot a fair amount of my new plants. Side note try some Mycorrhizal, it helps with shock.

Also I top water some plants people are all "dont EVER top water, they crown rot" 😆 🤣

Noted!!

### Alyssa kommentierte am 2025-03-14

I fertilize all year long, and never really measure lol, so far my plants love my scattered brain 😂

### David kommentierte am 2025-03-14

Definitely am too quick to throw new plants into my collection 😅 Also people recommend showering them every so often which I just can’t find the time to do!

I repot plants right away after I get them, unless I'm busy, then I shove them off you the side somewhere. Thats almost worse, becuz then I forget about them😂. I don't remember ever having a plant go into serious shock, but I've never ordered plants online either.
