A note on featured plants
While I do everything that I can to ensure my plants get the best care, they're still indoor plants in one of the cloudiest places in the country. They aren't perfect. While I would love to put them outdoors for the summer, it rains too much and I'd run the risk of drowning them.
It's easy to find pictures of show quality plants on google, much like finding supermodels in a magazine. Think of my plants as Average Joes, a more realistic expectation. When posting a photo of a less than ideal plant, I'll explain what's "wrong" with it and how you could try to do better. I'm just working with what I've got, you know?
Thankfully plants don't have to be perfect to still make you happy. So what if your black prince lost his sun stress? You still get to enjoy his company and watch him grow. My little jungle might not be picture perfect, but I don't care. I'm not either.
