I have been using Greg for a while now, though hadn’t started using the social aspects until recently. I think partially because I didn’t really feel like I could call myself a plant person until I sorted out my black thumb. As an ADHDer, plant care has always been a challenge for me. I am ashamed to say I have killed my fair share of plants from neglect despite emotional attachment and the most earnest of intentions simply because it is difficult for me to create time dependent recurrent tasks that I always remember. I downloaded Greg to help with that, and I just looked in my room and saw all of my plants that are thriving, and I was just so grateful for this app, and now this community. I decidedly have a green thumb! And I so look forward to getting to know you all better now. 🥰 #PlantTherapy #GregGang #PlantAddict #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

Hi @malobee. I feel somewhat the same ….in the past I would buy plants and just overwater them, didn’t really know anything about lighting,fertilizing, etc. I would get sad when I had to throw a dead plant away. I would feel frustrated because I felt I really tried to keep them alive. I felt like a plant failure for a while and I didnt have any live plants in my home. But I just can’t stand to not have them. I’m super-grateful to have found a community that is actually helpful and nice. Maybe I can keep them alive this time.
@strawberrymoon Aw thank you! I am just endlessly trying to be a multi colored flower too. 😂 nice to meet you!
@HoyaAddict I feel exactly this way. My partner told me yesterday, “I am SHOCKED that the social media you would get into is plant based.” while giving me a little grin. Haha Can’t help that the vibes are just solid. 🤌🏻 Thank you for the warm welcome!
@PlantTherapy I am glad you made your way to the social side of Greg as well! No party is better than a plant party, it turns out!
@WickedValkyrie hello spectrum buddy 🦋! I am glad you found Greg also. Cheers to learning and growing! 🍻
As someone with other/multiple mental health disorders, I have to agree that Greg helps keep me on track. Nothing like a bully from Greg to water my plants when I’m dealing with a depressive episode. 😂
So happy to hear you’ve found Greg to be a happy and helpful place for you to help your babies thrive! 💚💚

@Leyleaves hello! 👋🏻 thank you for the welcome. The struggle is real, but look at us now! 🥰🥳 glad to meet you, and I look forward to seeing you around.
@malobee same here! ADHD and Executive Dysfunction made plant care difficult for me- it's the very reason I downloaded Greg too! My husband has dubbed me a green thumb now that I can tend to my plants the way I'd always wanted to! ☺️💚
Congratulations on your plant care, may your plants continue to thrive!!! 💚🌱🌿

@EmGrowsPlants hello, fam! I am glad you made it here too! Cheers to being awesome plant people now 🍻
Aw! This is thread is so great! So #wholesome! I know that for me, Greg was always a watering app. I NEVER wanted to be on social media again. I was SO DONE. Then the #gregteam started talking about making it more like a community and I thought to myself - no way.
And I'm so glad they did! It's like instafacesnap and reddit with NICE people all rolled into one!
Greg doesn't judge your thumbs. 💚 ☺️
Do you know how many plants I've killed?! Do you know how many plants I've chucked off the balcony into the compost pile?
A lot. And they have all taught me something so none of it was in vain. 😁

@malobee Greg has helped my my mental health big time. I also have ADHD. Greg is my “HAPPY” place and I love 💕 the community. I have had so much help from everyone and it’s very much appreciated. I have learned a lot myself so I’m able to help people with problems and recognize certain pests. So I can relate to your post as well. #GregGang
@sarahsalith yes, I felt exactly the same way. And it has turned out to be so positive! And thank you for that perspective shift—you are right. Those fallen plant babes have helped make my current bbys thrive. 😭🙏🏻🌱💚
@KikiGoldblatt hello 🦋 fam! I am so glad you are here and I have seen your posts around! You are always so helpful, and I am already learning so much.
@malobee I'll tell you a secret- @KikiGoldblatt is SUPER sweet and smart and helpful!! ☺️
