Your singing?

Certain music?

Your touch?

Your left over coffee?


I'm thinking about getting a plant for my desk. I want it to be happy and thriving,

    some actually do- adds acidity to the soil - blueberrys, tomatoes, and other acid lovers would totally love your coffee. They like the leftover grouds even more!

    My plant receives the following care daily:

    1) a touch
    2) a song
    3) and a few drops of water from my straw

    She is thriving and living her best life ever...my Gwynnie <3

    This song?

    My plants prefer to be ignored until watering time.

    Your plant is a cat?

    This is how I know you don't have a cat.

    Actually my cats scream for my attention, I can't do anything without a cat following me around like a puppy dog.

    I've ignored this plant since 2013, she gets a little water every now and then, its been thriving right behind this curtain, no direct light. Its the only living indoor plant that has lived. :grimace:

    Is this why my mom always poured pickle juice on her plants?

    My plants respond to me and that response is death because I'm pretty powerful.

    I use to sing, touch, feed and pamper my plant then this happened.....

    So no more babying the plants. They are lucky to get watered once a month. It's amazing they are still alive.

    What about touching? You know, like Kevin Spacey style.

    wait.


    I'm confused.


    .... is there another kind of touching ??

    My plants only live if I avoid them, someone else must be touching them up when I’m not around 🤨

    Could it have been your BDSM undertones?

    So you're saying put away the whips?

    I kill plants. I'm not sure how these have survived because I forget to water them. The orchid got attacked by a curious toddler but it blossomed beautifully. My false shamrocks are my favorite because they remind me of butterflies. They open in the morning and at night they close. I'm sure your future plant will do just fine :)

    Mine prefer to be tended to by a gardener. They're a bit elitist.
