Varied and SufferingNOTES
How long have I been caring for houseplants?
Technically since 2020 - but I only really understood what I was doing from 2022 onwards.
How regularly do I water?
Once a month for most of my plants. I don't follow a schedule so much as just check regularly, to see when they actually need watering. I learnt the hard way that under-watering is far, far less deadly than over-watering, so I always err on the side of caution.
What are my goals?
I generally prioritise life over prettiness and beauty. Houseplants are quite forgiving - they can suffer through quite a lot and as long as the conditions improve before they die - they'll usually bounce back. That said - now that my plants are on more stable ground I'd like to shift that and create more fuller-looking plants. I struggle to stay on top of too many tasks (fertilising, regular pruning and repotting and even watering too regularly is difficult to keep up with) not to mention the light levels in the UK aren't exactly abundant - so my plants often end up looking a little leggy, and more stunted than they could be.
Favourite Plant?
Lots! My favourite wild, non-flowering plant right now is English Ivy, specifically the variegated ones, they're so gorgeous. But it fluctuates a lot.
