Update to my stressed out, low income single mom, no natural light, plant struggling situation... (More pics in comments) At the beginning of the year I made a couple of posts about how I much I've struggled to do this plant thing as a poor person with only north facing windows, how inadequate I felt compared to everyone's nice expensive decorative pots vs my thrift store finds, struggling to get the watering schedules down, limited to 2 really crappy LBW grow lights and the north facing windows not being able to provide enough light, but still really proud of myself for accomplishing all that I have despite being dirt poor, unable to afford better lights, and stressed out to the max. I received an overwhelming amount of support from you guys ❤️ And to make it even better, Greg reached out and gifted me a subscription to Greg AND sent me 2 Soltech Vita light bulbs, both which have been soooo incredibly helpful, especially being able to track the watering schedules, it has definitely helped reduce the stressfulness of it. Since then, I've also been able to add a few Sansi lights. I regrettable and with a heavy heart had to get rid of most of my succulents, I just couldn't provide enough light for them. The few that I kept are still struggling but I think most of the other plants seem to be doing well and I keep adding to my collection, getting most of the plants, pots, and accessories for surprisingly cheap. I've only been doing this plant thing for a little over 2 years and in the beginning I almost gave up because I killed so many. But I gave it one last shot and apparently that last attempt was where I started doing better, so I'm glad I stuck with it. I haven't been on here much lately but there have been soooo many times you guys have helped guide me. And honestly, I know that I wouldn't be able to do any of this without the Greg subscription. My life is just way too chaotic to be able to keep up with things so that subscription has been a lifesaver. I remember the day that I received that email from Greg about the subscription and the grow lights, I legit broke down crying in front of my youngest child, telling him how nothing good EVER happens to me and how much this single act of kindness meant to me. He normally gets annoyed with my plant obsession but this time he looked at me with pity in his eyes, hugged me, and said "I'm so happy for you Mom, I know how much this means to you". Anyways, if someone can tag all of the Greg mods, I wanted y'all to know how much I appreciate yalls gift of the subscription and lights, how much it's helped, how much I appreciate this plant community and the support it gives, and just give a little update on how my plants are doing. Y'all just don't understand, when I say I'm poor, I mean I am bottom of the barrel, skipping meals so the kids can eat, on welfare living in the crime ridden drug infested ghetto, dirt poor. So to me, having everything that I have is kinda a miracle. I'll add more pics in the comments. I won't be able to respond to everyone but know that I appreciate you guys!
