    This isn’t about gardening is it… This is specifically about stealing succulent clippings from the Lowe’s garden center isn’t it?

    “that’s my emotional support euphorbia trigona, i water it whenever i remember it exists and the fact that it doesn’t even look sad makes me feel better”

    seriously this is by far the best plant for people who can’t keep things alive, literally all i do is water it once in a blue moon and it has continued growing fairly steadily for years now, and it will just keep growing forever, turning into a tree/bush.

    AND you can just slice bits off and plant them and they’ll grow into another bush, it’s so fucking good, all it’s missing is flowers!

      Not to diss your plant, but that is a great allegory for mental illness. Even if you (mostly) ignore it it keeps growing and growing, until eventually it fills your entire living space.

        When I asked my grandma for advice, she shared a saying with me from her grandmother: “When a plant isn’t doing well, it’s usually one of four things. Too much water or too little water. Too much sun or too little sun.” I usually check sunlight first, as gardening in an apartment, I often don’t have as much sunlight available. Every plant is different when it comes to water and sunlight requirements, but you can usually look up what they need online.

    I’ve been growing catnip all winter and I can’t wait until I can put them in my pussy garden.
