    Now for the answers! 1. I would say the biggest reason is I saw a lot of other people I know start getting into houseplants, so I decided to get a few. (Look where that got me...) 2. My favorite part is finally getting a new leaf, or getting a new plant. 3. Pests. 4. Probably my monstera thai.. 5. My end goal is to get 150+! 6. It may surprise some, but I started crocheting not too long ago. 7. I know this is kinda strange, but my favorite is probably my toolbox... I got it with my grandpa so it has good memories, and it's so useful!

    1. I had a few plants (an orchid & thanksgiving cactus) but I was gifted a classic green monstera for my birthday. As this was a gift from a woman I’ve known since she was about 12 I was highly motivated to keep it alive! It spiraled from there 😂 (the gifted monstera is alive & well) 2. My favorite part is the new growth, followed closely by the flowers. 3. Ugh fungus gnats (and other gross bugs)! 4. My most sentimental plant is my thanksgiving cactus, she’s a cutting from my late Grandmother’s plant. And my favorite is probably my tephrocactus geometricus. 5. I don’t think I have a goal count or collection. I do want to ultimately create a nice display with my three holiday cactuses; ideally in my living room. 6. Knitting, crochet, sewing, reading. 7. A dedicated craft room. 🧶

    1. Started with a couple of succulents I got for my classroom, once I learned about and propagated one of them successfully I was hooked. 2. My favourite parts are usually watching the plants growth and finding unique looking plants. 3. My least favourite part is the mess whether it’s the soil, water or leaves. 4. My current favourites are my polka dot begonia, calamondin tree, Hindu rope, and lipstick curly Rasta. 5. My goal is to turn my home into a jungle! 6. I also game, read, cuddle my pets, and do a variety of crafts and needlework. 7. My giant plant shelf and my steamdeck :)

      I'm always glad hearing somebody's mental health improve :)

    1: my mom is a certified nurseryman and because of her I've pretty much been a plant person from birth. 2: i really like learning about the science of how different plants grow and interact with animals. And the subtle glittery sheen that plants often get when they're especially healthy. 3: summer heat and mosquitoes. 4: i have a variegated english oak tree that I pretty much view as a family member. Unfortunately its graft has reverted, but I'm trying to restart the variegation via cuttings/redoing the graft on its offspring. As for indoor plants, i have really been enjoying my micro orchids. 5: if i ever get a chance, I'd love to start up an orchidarium or native species arboretum. In the meantime, I'm planning an orchid terrarium and trying to plant things outside to attract cool moths. 6: i enjoy collecting things and nature photography. 7: some custom lego sith minifigures. They're just so cute
