So if you don’t know me already and maybe this is your first time seeing my blog. I love houseplants. I don’t know what happened but one day I went to the store to buy a houseplant and I ended up getting two. Which is fine cause two is not a lot and well people need houseplants in their life. 

The problem is now is that it’s been two-ish years maybe three and I now have 8ish plants in my very small room. Now your probably wondering 8 plants over the course of two-ish years that’s not too bad. I could agree the problem is I ended up with 6 more plants in less than a month. 

I don’t know what it is about houseplants. Maybe because they don’t do a lot or maybe because they just look pretty and make me less depressed. But something about them makes me addicted to getting them and to make things worse I even name my plants. I swear I’m not crazy. I’m just a plant mom who cares too much about her plants. 

The only thing that makes me laugh about houseplants is the fact that some houseplants get moody or well play dead. I have two plants that do this. Peace Lilly and my nerve plant. Now my peace lily does it way more often than my nerve plant but when my nerve plant does it she does it well. I am probably making you very confused and you’re now convinced that I am crazy. I know when I go back to reread this I will agree with you. But to answer the question in your mind is that they act all moody and dead cause my mind happened to forget a day of watering and they laugh in my face saying karmas a well you know. 

When my lily does it she’s not too bad after a good water soak she perks up after a couple of hours. My nerve plant will act dead for the whole day and all of a sudden act like she’s brand new the next day. 

Besides my plants playing dead and me sounding like a crazy plant mom. I can not go to a plant store and not get plants. Like this what happened. So it was two weeks before Mother’s day and me and my dad still had no idea what to get her. Well, she did give us one idea but that was it. So my dad was like well hey let’s go to the plant store and see what they have because my mom wanted a bird feeder. 

So we went and I had the mindset of getting two plants. A snake plant and a pothos. We got there and right away we both went different ways. I went to the houseplants and my dad went to the bird feeders. Short story short. I ended up getting a marble pothos two snake plants and a Chinese money plant and well my dad didn’t get anything for Mother’s day. 

So the next week it was now a day before Mother’s day and we still did not have anything. So we made the bad mistake of going back to the plant store. This time I went with my dad and we found a nice bird feeder and birdbath and I ended up finding a nice aloe plant and some sort of succulent. 

Mothers day was great and my desk was now filled with all my houseplants and I soon thought to myself “Why do I do this to myself”. The lesson learned in this blog is that if you love houseplants don’t go to a plant store or you will end up with plants that you do not have space for.
