Plants

Hello Soul Family,

I'm back again with another post. Tonight's theme: plants. I'm pretty sure all of us have had at least one plant, had it die, and we told ourselves never again. Well, I used to be one of those people now I'm a proud plant mom of eight lovely plant babies. I will say plants are hard at first because you don't know the specific needs of the plant, but as you go along, it gets easier. The first plant I had was a cactus, and I somehow managed to kill that. As the year went by, I got better with my hobby of taking care of my plants, in fact, it is one of my favorite hobbies. I find this hobby very relaxing and mindful, and it helps me with my stress for the most part. When my plants get sick, though, forget that then I'm freaking out. I can proudly say that all of my plants are up to par with their health, even my orchid Ruby. I've been a plant mom for a little over a year now, and I will say my plant family is nowhere near complete. I will someday have my entire room filled with plants, and I will take care of all of them. Some plants that I have in mind that I would like to get would have to be a lotus bonsai, English ivy, a string of pearls, pothos, and a zz plant. Recommendations for those of you starting with plants I would say a snake plant is your best bet. My reason behind this is that it is a low maintenance plant that can tolerate low light. You only need to water this air-purifying plant once a month, and it can be placed in a corner that doesn't get much sun. Just make sure to give it an ice cube a two once a month, and you should be alright. Now, if you're a little more on the advanced side with plants, I would recommend looking at bonsai plants. These plants are very pleasing to the eye, but don't let that fool you; they need a bit more attention. They need to be trimmed, shaped, and watered once a week. The one bonsai that I own is my money tree. I have managed to keep it healthy for a few months now. I water it once a week with two ice cubes, and I keep it next to my window to make sure it gets proper lighting throughout the day while I'm at school. Overall, I would say that plants are an excellent way to brighten up your home. I hope you all have a fantastic night, and if you have plants, give them some love.
