I've been successfully caring for plants for three years, but in the last three months that I've taken these classes,

I feel like I am able to understand my plants and the care so much more deeply and I just feel like I'm looking at nature

differently almost like truly understanding how things work and I feel like amidst our seven week class you would

say something and I would like interrupt the class on Zoom and be like wait so

pruning like the actual science behind why pruning works is because of this hormone like what because you know we're told so many things especially when you're a houseplant parent and it really is a hobby you're told told so many things, you know, you're told only prune this way, water this way, bottom water this way, but you don't understand capillary action and you don't understand plant hormones and you don't understand

photosynthesis so you don't really understand why light is so important and

following whatever someone else tells you is so different than like

intrinsically knowing what's right.

Yeah and I think that plants are really diverse.

So there's no hard and fast rule to being a good plant parent.

Just like there's no hard and fast rule to being a good parent parent. Just like there's no hard and fast rule to being a good parent.

You could have multiple children and you deal with them all in very different ways.

And that's because plants are their own people in a sense.

And learning the science actually helps you better

troubleshoot right what you're doing and how you could do something better or

change something different and not worry about actually killing your plan.

Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do.
