BUT HOW COULD YOU NOT BE OBSESSED. LOOK AT THE COLOR, THE SIZE!??, NEW SHOOTS, TEXTUREEE, UNIQUENESS. its just so fascinating 😭i could watch forever. I swear ive seen the plants move and unfurl. (i literally sit and stare for hours) and they move in realtime, just supppppper slow. And tbh i think they grow better the longer you stare at them. I also filled our porch with plants.. its so refreshing. I dont think this is even showing a 1/4th of my jungle 🙂 And to all the bfs & husbands who think their girls dont need another plant. Each one makes me happier than i thought i could ever be before. A new journey to follow and watch grow. Get her another plant!!! theres NEVER too many.
so ok i may be addicted. but its def not a bad addiction. well maybe for my bfs wallet…

I’d say he was never living with one. You can always change boyfriend 😜 ..and buy more plants.
I mean all that extra oxygen has to give you a bit of a euphoric feeling
but much more healthy
I like your carpet!
Well, there’s a 99% chance your plants won’t kill you, so there’s that!
How about turning your alcohol addiction to plants like I did – that’s a positive way of seeing it!
That rug is something I never knew I always wanted until just now.
Enjoy your plants and all of your lovely meditations with them.
You may have to downsize your boyfriend collection in the future if you find that you need more space for plants.
Sending love.

There’s always room. Start going up, I did. They’re on pulleys so easy watering.
How new are you to this hobby? I say that bc new hobbies can be sort of addictive, but much healthier than substance misuse. Just be aware if you’re the type of person who goes **all in** on a hobby for about a year, then it just becomes a bunch of junk in your closet. If you are that type, that could be what your bf is commenting on (with very poor word choice).
Houseplants are a wonderful hobby. Just make sure to pace yourself. We all go through periods eventually where it does become overwhelming and that’s okay! We usually find a balance of what works best.
Alcoholics harm themselves and others with their addiction. Who are you hurting with your plants?
Looove the carpet. Where did you get it?
The way I used to with substances? I now do with plants. Is that so bad? Where substances took me to a dark place, plants have grown on me, taking me to healthy places. Now I see the light… with my plants!
*If you see outside the window to the porch there are more plants outside of course, plus the other walls, and other rooms with windows…*

Those plants are LOVED❤️
You should rehome him….NOT the plants, but the man
🙏 Any chance we can see more of the fish tank? What ya got stocked in there? I would love to grow plants out of the top of mine but it has a lid and I don’t trust my cats not to go swimming 🥲
I got into plants after I got sober. So is it an addiction, sure it can be, but at least this addiction won’t kill me 🤷🏼♀️
Maybe in your past life you lived in a jungle and you.were very happy there. Maybe you were a cockatoo or a butterfly..Anyway, it’s healthier and cheaper than booze.
Tell him a recovered alcoholic says this:
No. Plant good 👍🏻. Plant keep u from drink. Drink equal blackout…blackout n wake up in yard no pant & ripped shirt, this not my yard😞this not my shirt🚫…..plant equal happy😃 maybe sometime gnat😤…but most part, it equal happy
It’s so lovely!!🪴💚
I’m so glad my fiancé actually encourages my plant hobby, in fact, he loves it!
