So if you have plants in your bathroom, they’re watching you poop. Neat!

That kind of explains why I can't keep plants alive... I'm traumatizing them so bad they want death.

For 90% of people it’s watering issues. Mostly overwatering.

Ya, usually I either overwater or forget about it entirely for extended periods of time.

That's why I have mainly plastic plants now. Much less fussy.

Drip feeders can in fact be excellent. Unless you’re already the kind of person who will forget about those as well.

They smell the food, they can see the food being made, but by the cruel hand of fate, they just can't get the food.
