You probably aren’t that bad at taking care of plants.
It’s just that a lot of them are raised as quickly and cheaply as possible by using hormones, so when you get them they suffer from cold turkey withdrawal
What many people don’t keep in mind is that plants are usually sold in way-too-small plant pots - they usually need to be repotted immediately and can use some fresh soil, optionally fitted with some kind of plant-benefical nutrient.
What you mention is definitely true, but from my experience, a lot of my friends’ and acquaintances’ plants die because they don’t repot them.
Personally, I ain’t got time for any plant that doesn’t grow like weeds. My spiderplants survived month-long dry spells and they’re still multiplying!
Tbh my place just doesn’t really get much sun if any at all. I specifically got plants which are OK with some shade, but I have too much shade everywhere.
Then you could try getting a growth light and a timer
I grow basil in my bedroom before it’s warm enough to survive outside. A 100w equivalent led bulb has been enough to light up a couple square feet of room to grow.
Bonus: if you put it somewhere near your eyeline you’ll notice when they start wilting and need water
Also a lot of plante usw the Winter to shed a lot of foliage even indoors
No
I really could do with admiring the other things in life.
I have a drinking problem I’m working through, doing my best to only drink one day a week and cut down as much as possible after that.
Music i listen to from my youth brings me down too, so i like this post
But what if I don’t deserve nice things?
If everyone made a half assed facsimile of what is great, maybe we could tell ourselves the world is good.
You do tho :P
Choose life.
and finish your damn pile of shame
Get yourself together. Move to Philly. Buy a loft. Start a noise band. Get 6 or 7 roommates. Eat hummus with them. Book some gigs. Paint. Smoke cloves. Listen to Animal Collective. Start some type of salsa company.
Why Philly, this city is really stupid the last few years
