Confessions of a (Nearly) Serial Plant Killer
Okay, let’s be honest. We’ve all been there. That moment when you bring home a vibrant, leafy friend, promising to be the best plant parent ever. You envision a jungle oasis, bathed in sunlight, with your perfectly tended plants thriving under your care. Fast forward a few weeks, and that once-perky peace lily is now drooping lower than your enthusiasm after a weekend of Netflix binging.
The Name Game: From Basic to Creative Plant Names
Rule number one: Thou shalt bestow upon thy leafy companions the most creative names imaginable. Forget “Philodendron” or “Snake Plant.” We’re talking “Professor Sprout,” “Beyon-leaf,” or maybe even “Plantiel” if you’re feeling dramatic. Bonus points for names inspired by their personality (or lack thereof).
And don’t even try to deny the urge to talk to your plants. We all do it. Whether it’s a pep talk for a struggling seedling or a full-blown therapy session with your fiddle-leaf fig, your plants are excellent (and silent) listeners.
