My Newest Hobby.
I’m just getting started on trying to enter into a hobby that’s helping me learn a lot. Since my mom’s passing, I remember one of her hobbies was planting every now and again. Whenever she got a plant, I helped her repot them, and even water them from time to time. Most of the time, I would watch her do it, and if she needed something, I would be there to aid her fixing those plants.
Some plants needed more watering than others, while others needed much less, obviously. I do know most plants are different, but all of them need the basics to survive: Sunlight, and water. Having a proper place to grow, also helps.
Before her passing, my mom saw another type of plant, where she never really looked into growing or maintaining, mostly because she’s never heard of them, nor seen them before. This was my introduction to carnivorous plants, and that first one was a nepenthes pitcher plant.
With these plants, and others that are often not looked at all that much, I will go into making this a priority, to have as a learning experience, and to also gain some inner peace while caring for them. I do know that for most this will be hit and miss, because caring for certain plants requires more attention compared to others, while other plants can just be left to grow with little to no help from me. I’ll just see what happens along the way.
