Last night, the rest of my impromptive Amazon ordering for my plant TLC came in. The snow on Friday delayed it a day, but I was excited to see it sitting on the porch. I ordered it so I can get to the bottom of Harry Styles losing leaves.

I pulled Harry Styles out of his pot and loosened up the soil around his roots – low and behold – nothing was wrong with him. I’m relieved, yet annoyed, because I had to repot him. To be fair, he has never been repotted, so I just moved him to the next biggest pot. I am hoping that maybe he just ran out of space and this new home will make him happy.

I also got a moisture probe and light probe to test it on all of my plants when they were not thriving. Which, I know, sounds like a plant nerd or a crazy person and I accept that. When they thrive, I thrive.

It’s funny because on Friday, Dr. M stopped by in the drive-thru (she typically doesn’t work on Fridays) and called my name from the hallway. In her hands, she held this huge golden pothos (like my Harry Styles) and a smaller plant that turned out to be a calathea. I literally ran to her and hugged her because she bought them for me, to take care and keep here.

I looked up the calathea (and silently cursed because they are harder to take care of but I am going to make it work!) and I got them situated. They were not set up for success, so I made suggestions and Dr. M got them the things that they need. I am excited to see their new pots arrive and to learn where to ut the calathea in the break room for it to thrive.

Brandon laughed at me because he said, ” Oh no, the addication is spreading.” and he would not be wrong. Even Dr. M said, “I’m feeding the addiction.” Because she is.

Deep down, it hurts my heart to watch some of my plants not thrive and slowly die. But, I understand that some plants just do not thrive once you move them into your home. Whereas it’s a draft, an underlying problem, or maybe I didn’t learn how to care for it properly – but I am learning.

My Fiddle Leaf Fig that Brandon got me for Christmas is doing well in our front window. She looks so beautfiul taking up space there.(It is my third one) My swiss cheese plant is thriving now that I placed her in the side window, I had to remove her from the macroma hanger because she was getting too big and her leaves were bending.

I am still searching for a space for my Angel’s wing, she is by the side window and so far she is doing well.

Caring for them brings me serotonin.

Anyways, please pray for my Lemon plant and Rattlesnake, they are doing their best and so am I.
