There'll be a moment when you realise you're 27 when yesterday you were just 17; and you wouldn't be able to tell how a decade passed away and your life got divided into before and afters. The fury of youth will subdue and nothing will really change but everything will feel different when you look at old photographs and blurry videos taken on cheap mobile phones. Scents will remind you of childhood and certain friends you don't talk to anymore, hangouts will become reunions and mom's burnt pie will become the best food you ever had. And I know on some days you won't be able to show anything of those 10 years but I hope you remember to breathe, and let go of the knot in your chest. I hope you go out in the sun and live a little, because tomorrow is 37.

What is with Instagram and trying to grow caladiums indoors

[syngoniums]

Not to be a crank but this is part of why I still resent houseplant Instagram, it’s all disembodied hands holding up perfect-looking plants against white backgrounds. How long have you had that plant? Where does it spend most of its time? What are your struggles with it? Do bugs ever touch it? Did you pay $80 for it when it’s just gonna melt in the corner of your apartment after you’ve moved on to the next hot genus? Nobody knows and you’re not going to tell us!

I love plants but I refuse to keep houseplants because its literally torture for them. Philodendron is pretty much the only group of plants that can tolerate indoor conditions. People my age have this unrealistic mental picture if a cozy indoor library covered in houseplants. Those plants will die and you books will get eaten up by mildew. Keep your plants outside!! If you live in a city apartment, keep a few on your balcony or just move to the country and get a real garden! Stop buying plants and keeping them indoors!!

I just happened to glance through the notes of this post to encounter this and this is the funniest thing I’ve ever read lol

[coolbeansmachine-deactivated202]

Bro just build a greenhouse if you want to keep your plants indoors. Plants require humidity levels that will give your home mold. Witht he AC running 24/7 they don’t stand a chance! Never enough light or humidity. Usually too cold.

What… are you talking about?

If I could get my houseplants to grow at a reasonable rate and NOT grow me out of house and home, I would be grateful 😂😂 how do I block out the sun and make it too cold for them to grow????

How cold are yall keeping your houses that your plants are dying lmfao

But seriously, when we got our property, it was all just…grass. A sterile grass moonscape, like a billion other yards. With two big old maple trees. Just grass and maples, that was it. 

But then I got my grubby little paws on it, and I immediately stopped fertilizing, spraying, and bagging up grass clippings and leaves. I ripped up sod and put in flowers and vegetables. I put down nice thick blankets of mulch around the flowers and vegetables. 

When I first was sweating my way through stripping sod, I saw a grand total of 1 worm and 0 ladybugs. The ground was compacted into something that would bend shovel blades. 

Now, six years later, I can’t dig a planting hole without turning up fourteen earthworms, and there are so many ladybugs here. Not the invasive asian lady beetles; native ladybugs. They winter over in the mulch and in the brush pile. I see thousands of them. 

The soil is soft and rich. There are birds that come to eat, and bees of many sorts.

Like this is something that you, yourself, can absolutely change. This is something that you, personally, can make a difference in.

Houseplant enthusiasts are either like “here’s my *latin name*, I keep it at a precise temperature and humidity in a ceramic pot on my desk” or “this is my plant with fun leaves, I keep it in a yogurt container on the refrigerator because it seems to like it.”

Why do I fall into such a funk when I come home. As if my passions, interests, and ambitions stay at the welcome mat. My drive and motivation is a vampire who has yet to be invited in. A mind full of ideas and pieces to create, yet once home I cannot draw up the energy to pursue what drives my soul. My lack of output to the world further depresses me, I serve no purpose, I am surface level, I am full of hobbies but don’t pursue any enough to be any good. I have no specialty no niche I’m not known for anything I leave no mark. I want to be intriguing, mysterious, sought after. I want him to think of me and be put into disbelief that I’m his, I want to make him feel like the luckiest man on earth but I don’t know who I am or what I want or what I’m good at. I’m just in a funk right now I’m sure I’ll figure myself out, anyways thanks for listening
