From Black Thumb to Proud Plant Parent

Okay, let’s be honest. I used to be the person who couldn’t keep a cactus alive. Seriously, those things practically water themselves! My apartment was a graveyard of neglected succulents and wilting ferns.

But then something changed. Maybe it was the pandemic, maybe it was a quarter-life crisis, or maybe it was just that adorable little Monstera at the grocery store. Whatever it was, I took a chance, brought it home, and…didn’t kill it!

That’s when I discovered the unexpected joys of being a plant parent.
