You probably aren't that bad at taking care of plants.

It's just that a lot of them are raised as quickly and cheaply as possible by using hormones, so when you get them they suffer from cold turkey withdrawal

What many people don't keep in mind is that plants are usually sold in way-too-small plant pots - they usually need to be repotted immediately and can use some fresh soil, optionally fitted with some kind of plant-benefical nutrient.

What you mention is definitely true, but from my experience, a lot of my friends' and acquaintances' plants die because they don't repot them.

Personally, I ain't got time for any plant that doesn't grow like weeds. My spiderplants survived month-long dry spells and they're still multiplying!

I really could do with admiring the other things in life.

I have a drinking problem I'm working through, doing my best to only drink one day a week and cut down as much as possible after that.

Music i listen to from my youth brings me down too, so i like this post
