I scored this whole Albo syngonium and three different cuttings at a plant swap! And it’s lived in moss ever since. 🪴
While I love to snip snip, when they are in water/moss/whatever, it is forgotten about and it stays there for a long time, sometimes for years!!! 😳

M: Hi besties! It’s been a few weeks. We put out an episode talking some tea but also playing the Plant Price is Right! I feel so out of the loop currently with plant prices. And it’s mostly due to not buying or seeking to buy plants as much as I did in the beginning of plant parenthood.
Pictured is my sweet Cebu Blue Pothos I’ve had for two years. Can you guess what I paid for this babe way back when??

I’ve been absent a little from the podcast. For the last few weeks, not only has it been raining, it’s been pouring. So I’ve been just trying to brave the storm of s**t in my life.

So I decided to take up rock climbing and water aerobics! Gonna start soon! What positive, healthy things do you do when you are in a super life is s**tty rut?? I need suggestions.
I had another loss yesterday in less then a week, so I might take more time. I’m undecided right now. But for now, remember to Water Yourself FIRST!!!
