I used to hate pruning. Felt wrong every single time. Then my wife found a tutorial and turned the fallen leaves into fridge magnets. Now I see them every morning when I grab milk. Didn’t know she had that kind of magic in her — and honestly, I’m obsessed. If she ever decides to put her stuff on Etsy, I’m 100% backing her.
Have you ever thought about keeping your leaves too?
Update
A bunch of plant parents asked me for the tutorial, so I’m dropping it here：
She used desiccant to dry the leaves completely first, then brushed on layers of UV resin — curing each one under a nail lamp before adding the next. Finally, we glued on a tiny magnet.
My wife says it’s basically like giving your plant a manicure, and she’s kinda right haha

I don’t know why but first I thought you’d try propagating on cheese 😀
Do you seal it in epoxy or what do you do?
Did your wife use UV resin to make it? It looks awesome! I should try it with my flowering plants 🥰
