From Black Thumb to Proud Plant Parent: My Story
Let’s be honest, I wasn’t always a green thumb goddess. In fact, my thumbs were about as black as my morning coffee. I’m talking succulent cemeteries and air plants that looked more like air…dust bunnies. It felt like every plant I touched withered under my care.
But then, something magical happened. I adopted a scraggly little Peace Lily from the clearance rack at the grocery store. It was a “last chance” situation, and I figured, “Hey, what’s the worst that could happen?” To my utter shock (and the disbelief of my friends and family), that little Peace Lily thrived! It sprouted new leaves, brightened up my living room, and even inspired me to try my hand at propagating (which, spoiler alert, was a success!).
That’s when I realized: being a plant parent isn’t just about keeping something alive (though, let’s be real, that’s a win in itself). It’s about the unexpected joys, the tiny victories, and the surprising ways these leafy companions enrich our lives.
