Unfortunately I had to say goodbye to not one but 2 of my Echeveria💔this week. I kinda have the feeling I overwatered which lead to their decline😭these were the first succulents I’d bought so I keep telling myself I’m still learning but it’s definitely heartbreaking losing them #SadPlantDay #Echeveria #sadplantparent

RIP 🪴🪦🪴 little ones 😢. Lost 2 today to what I believe was thrips. They lived right next to each other so….. One was a favorite syngonium, the other a variegated ivy. They were overtaken fast 💨. I was gone for a week and most of the syngo’s leaves were withered and drooping when I got back 🏡 The ivy must have been harboring the pests as a lot of her leaves had black spots, too much icky stuff for me to want to try and overcome ☹️. #rip #SadPlantDay #gonenotforgotten #PlantTherapy

Just wanted to speak to someone who would understand… Tonight, I feel defeated. I’ve treated my Alocasias less than a week ago for first signs of spider mites. That’s commun occurrence, I clean everything, treat everything, no biggy. I feel that kinda comes with it and I have now a dedicated “plant jail” for this. I moved my arrowhead recently from a window to my greenhouse and it wasn’t looking too hot. Lighting change could be responsible, it does not like its new neighbour, I don’t know but again, no big deal. Tonight, I go to water it and it is clinging onto life. Barely. I check and see a bunch of rust spots. Hmmm. This is not normal. Well folks, I have thrips. I feel so defeated. I have no new plants, nothing has changed, I just have new undesirable roommates. I just spent the last 2 hours washing leaves, cutting trimming down and honestly, shedding a few tears. I know it’s part of the game and the hobby, but what was supposed to be a week of vacation, maybe even plant shopping at a few spots i always wanted to check out just transformed in pest control/management. How can I go look at new plants when I can’t even handle the ones I have? Anyway, sorry for that rambling, I just wanted to write to someone who would get it. I know there is much worst going on in general. I also dedicate this post to spike leaves, the fallen hero. I’m sure the 40 other plants are thank you for your sacrifice. #PestControl #ArrowheadPlant #SadPlantDay

Received my #GregGivesBack #Giveaway #PlantyBoxofGoodies !!!! I am officially tagging today as #SadPlantDay and what perfect timing! I received so many WONDERFUL things in my box that I’ll be sure to help all of my plants frowns turn upside down! Can’t wait to experiment with new medium, growing my first seeds and glamming up my creepers💜 Everything arrived in perfect condition with the exception of the mug. It is broken but I plan to glue the pieces together and use as a cute little planter! Thank you #GregGang @AwesomePlants #GregGivesBackSquad
