All you have to do is ignore your plants and they’ll thrive


(I just want y'all to appreciate my alocasia).

Guys this alocasia was gnat infested, had 4 leaves of which 3 of them died. I took care of it everyday until I started my internship and got busy. After being ignored for months this Alocasia has grown out like a beast. So proud of my baby! Happy plant dad!

    Is that… a cactus in the same pot? How long have you had it?

    Wait whaaaaat mine loves to be wet tho. How do you have a cactus in there! 😳

    Guys the cactus is there because it took root and I didn’t want to uproot it.
    My alocasia also started doing well from the moment that the cactus took root. So it’s something like a lucky cactus.
    Please don’t say it will die!😭😭😭😭

    It’s SO BEAUTIFUL! I bought a Baby alocasia. Initially overwatered it and it lost leaves right away. But now it’s on the RIGHT track with TWO beautiful little leaves! Yay!

    I decided one day to propagate my snake plant. I had about 6 cuttings in two containers with water. Well after a couple months (i’d add more water during that time) one of the containers got pushed into a corner and I forgot about it, for six months. When I was doing spring cleaning I found it, container bone dry and a snake plant that was 6′ tall! It was flopped over but still, it grew that much. I don’t know how it happened, but there it was. Thriving, in the dark corner ignored for half a year. Yes it had roots. I planted it.

    Thats what im hoping I come back to after my trip, ill be gone for the week. Im getting them all watered and ready and hopefully a week of not looking at them will make them flourish. I can only hope 😅
