From Black Thumb to Proud Plant Parent: My Story
Let’s be honest, I used to be a plant serial killer. I’m talking shriveled leaves, droopy stems, the whole nine yards. If a plant had the misfortune of entering my house, it was practically guaranteed a one-way ticket to plant heaven (or, you know, the compost bin). But then, something changed. Maybe it was a global pandemic, maybe it was a quarter-life crisis, or maybe it was just the sheer willpower to keep something alive. Whatever it was, I decided to give plant parenthood another shot, and boy, am I glad I did.
Who needs a therapist when you can just talk to your plants? Okay, maybe don’t ditch the therapist entirely, but seriously, taking care of plants has become my go-to stress reliever. There’s something incredibly therapeutic about tending to these little green beings, watching them thrive under your care (even if that care just involves remembering to water them once a week).
Plus, studies have shown that being around plants can actually reduce stress and anxiety. And let’s be real, in this day and age, who couldn’t use a little bit of that? So, the next time you’re feeling overwhelmed, step away from the screen, grab your watering can, and give your leafy friends some love. You might be surprised at how much better you feel.
