Aeonium balsamiferum and my chaotic care routine

Been feeling like absolute dog crap lately... Fibromyalgia been kicking my butt plus my brain wacked out and decided to produce WAY too much serotonin which resulted in me not being able to do basically anything for two days as I almost completely lost control of my body... (Serotonin Syndrome is pretty scary, y'all. If you're on antidepressants/antianxiety meds, please be careful!)

Anyways, I'm feeling MUCH better today so I'm doing some plant stuff...

This dramatic little betch #aeoniumbalsamiferum) falls over every time the wind picks up even a little bit so I decided to put her in a deeper/wider pot. I also decided to throw some Jade babies in there that get watered on the same schedule and a couple random props that live on my back porch...

It's kinda chaotic, but so am I... πŸ€·πŸ˜‚πŸ«Ά

@SuperblyLilac thanks. *Gentle fibro hug* πŸ™ƒπŸ«Ά
@WickedValkyrie @SuperblyLilac I'm so sorry to hear you both have fibromyalgia, I have it too. It's so annoying not being able to do what I want, or plan anything. Plants keep me amused, I love them, but when I have a bad patch I fall behind with their care and feel bad 😭.
I haven't had serotonin syndrome so far, although I am aware of it.
Love the #backporchbois πŸ˜ŠπŸ’šπŸŒΏ
@LuxuryMint I totally know how you feel! I always feel so bad when I fall behind, but some days I just simply cannot... 😞

Thanks for the plant love! 🫢🫢
@SuperblyLilac I have over 100 and boyyyy does it get overwhelming some days... But I love every single one of them and I'm addicted to propagating so I am always accumulating more and more... Lol πŸ˜…
Whoa. I have fibro too. I didn’t know so many of us were here on Greg. πŸŒ±β˜€οΈβ€οΈ #spooniesofgreg
@RealSimpleMama im not surprised... Plant people tend to be really chill and us spoonies also tend to be pretty chill cuz we're to sore/weak/tired not to be... Lol 🫢 *gentle hugs*
@WickedValkyrie well we’re also incredibly empathetic ❀️❀️❀️ and maybe caring for plants makes us feel that we can still do good and bring beauty into the world πŸŒ±β˜€οΈβ€οΈ
