Iām worried about my mesquite tree I found a sunnier spot for my mesquite tree and then forgot to water it for two weeks. Normally water is once a week. I moved it back to its original spot, worried it was getting too much sun. Weāre leaving town for a week and it looks like this. How worried should I be? Iām not sure how much sun sheāll get because I doubt the blinds will be opened by my friend whoās taking care of our pets, and I donāt wanna come home to a dead plant. #NewPlantMom

Sunlight for my Mesquite Tree? I tried to find a way to put my Mesquite tree baby in a south facing window, but I donāt have a good way to do that. The plant shelves we have near it are too full. It currently sits in a northwest facing window with a big tree in front of it. The other options I have for putting it are sitting on a bookshelf 10-15 feet away from the south facing window or sitting in a hot tub room with windows on three sides. Which option is the best? #NewGrowth #PlantMoms

Got a new plant, donāt wanna kill it š I got a Mesquite tree as a gift from a teacher yesterday, and I really wanna keep it alive.
