I feel like the prices should be inverted. The more expensive ones tend to line up with the drama queen plants
Yeah they’re more expensive because the sellers had just as hard a time getting them to live as you are lol. The cheap ones are cheap because they’re effortless to maintain
My wife bought fresh basil from Instacart and they delivered live basil instead. It’s essentially a tiny basil plant equivalent to a pack of fresh basil. Well, she refused to eat this $4 herb and instead decided to let it live. It is now about to get repotted for a third time. This thing is massive with pretty little white flowers and thick branches. If you touch it, it releases a wonderful smell that fills the room. She named it Basil (bah-zill) the basil
That is very wholesome. Are you using some of its leaves for cooking, or are you just keeping it be and letting it grow like a regular houseplant?
Wow maybe I’m just in a mood, but I read “plants that will kill you in _ weeks” and thought this was really dark shit
We need more of this level of honesty
Rosemaries would be on the top shelf lmao. I’ve killed 3 of them
I was in Seattle and saw multiple massive rosemary plants outside. Guess theyve got the climate for it… I sadly do not. :(

car exhaust, perhaps surprisingly, can be good for plants. they like the co2. maybe also the nitrogen… lots of that in exhaust too.

Rosemary doesn’t like to be babied. The more you ignore it, the more it thrives.

They survive pretty well down here in the south (Texas/8B). I suppose they don’t like frost?

be careful not to overwater rosemary. I’ve grown it inside and it does alright.

Heh, I tend to buy the plants on the discount rack that look half dead, and then make them look happy again. This hydrangea was all dead and brown when I bought it for $10 last summer. Now it has more flowers than leaves…
Aw thats cool as hell! You’re the plant doctor who picks them up and takes them to the plant nursing home ☺️
My greatest success has been with small cacti. It feels impossible to kill them and I’ve even had them flower!
We went into a plant shop. We bought two plants, one for $15, and one for $65. Guess which one is still alive🤣
