Mr. Bouchard and the rest, thank you from the bottom of my heart. π I'm having a SUPER hard month, single mom starting a new job in a new town and I'm honestly my anxiety is through the roof. But I just watched this for the millionth time, and this show is food for my soul. I'm so grateful for it.
Y'all, I am STUNNED by the amount of talent and genuinely incredible people in this group. I NEVER expected to make such amazing friends or to get such breathtaking gifts when I joined. u/Layinglowfornow is a positively DARLING person and an artist! Look what she made for me!!! Thank you, my friend.
The Plant Gods have shined their light on me so hard this week, I feel like I need to give back. So here's what I'm gonna do: π±you pay the cost of shipping and I'm gonna send the first ten responders a kickass box of freebies!πΏ I do not expect anything in return. I've already been very blessed!
Forgive my brag... I just love you guys so I had to share my greatest ever houseplant success. I have a grandmother Crassula ovata jade that is flowering for the first time in 20 years. Isn't she just stunningly dainty?! π§ββοΈ (I'm sorry if this isn't allowed here but I hate the houseplants page)
5 Stars, A Story... I made a friend on the other side of the world! She's so sweet and generous that she sent me THREE HOYAS and they traveled from TASMANIA TO IL, USA!!! They arrived this morning in immaculate condition and I'm positively in awe of her incredible-ness! u/SlavFromDownUnder πππ
YOU GUUUUYS! πππ You know how sometimes the stars align and you meet a person who you were just meant to be friends with? I am so freaking blessed to know u/givemepoth0s because of this sub!!! FIVE MILLION STARS to her for this trade (see comments for more pics, this isn't even everything! OMG)!
π₯π₯π₯π₯π₯ Holy moses, this is the stuff an amazing plant trade is made of! U/myrtlespurge just blew me out of the water on this trade!! Toooons of P. micans, TWO P. melanochrysum, and my extras were a beautiful bromeliad and a P. Burle Marx!!! I nearly fainted. Dude wins the plant trader's trophy!!
β’Windbag Momentβ’ Hopefully a very helpful piece of information for the beginners out there: roots grow best in darkness and warmth for almost all plants. Trying to root something in bright light is a fruitless endeavor (or rootless, as it were). I hope this is an AHHA moment for somebody out there!
