so i go to lowes a decent amount, right, and when i go i like to go to the outdoor plant section even though it’s winter/fall/whatever, not because i plan to get one of them but because they get a little sad, y’know, the plants that were meant to be sold in spring and summer and are still there get knocked over and no one fixes them and that makes me feel bad so i like to go set them back up and everything
anyway i was there a couple weeks ago and there was this sad plant that was in one of those flimsy plastic planters that had been knocked over, and i sat it back up, but the plant was weak and the planter was bad and it just fell right back over, so i was examining a little and it was a hibiscus! and i’ve wanted a hibiscus for ages! but it was so sad and so frail and hibiscus tend to be a bit expensive (at least for my nonexistent budget) and i wasn’t going to spend that on a plant that i was sure was going to die, but then it turned out it was on clearance and i just felt so bad thinking that it would die feeling unloved that i bought it, and it was really cheap and i was like “at least it’ll die in a happy environment” but i have to say it’s looking a bit better! i still don’t know that i can save her save her, but she’s perked up a bit and i finally got around to pulling all her dead/dying leaves and i’m happy that she at least seems happier
