I feel like for me 2024 was survival mode, in all aspects of life (financial, as a parent, as a person, as a plant owner) Praying for 2025 to feel more fulfilling and less just trying to get through
I am embarrassed to say that I have done nothing with the Gigas from you besides water the moss. My Painted Lady and PPP both need complete restarts. My Esquelleto has been living in fluval since I chopped it 2 years ago. And I restarted a few hoya on Saturday due to mealies. 2025 is definitely the year of managing the collection I have! And if (when) I inevitably buy new plants, I really need to get rid of ones I no longer "love".
hahaha that's totally fine! I literally have so so so many plants to repot and put on poles and chop up... goodness. I'm part excited, part overwhelmed to tackle all of it.
I’m getting my first greenhouse cabinet 21:32 tomorrow 😆 I was thinking of doing the same of putting the light in front. The only thing is I wouldn’t want anyone to be tripping over it. Still figuring that out
Plant burnout? No, been avoiding it by downsizing in time (when the care starts to feel like a chore in stead of fun) Approach to plants: downsize by 20 species… plus a one in = one out policy (so if I want 1 new plant Ill have to rehome 21 in total) Specific goals: aside from blooming more Hoyas, not really 😅 Resetting plants: not really, but will have to keep on top of chop&propping and trellising
@ I find it difficult to keep a sane approach when “the whole world” seems to be influencing to get moremoremore… But listening to that will make noone happy (not for long term anyway) We definitely don’t have to be/become minimalists, but being intentional, knowing what we are getting ourselves into… it helps in staying happy and enjoying our plants 🪴🪴🪴 Plants are the best!
I totally understand you.
Sticking up to some certain plants we are already experienced with should be the goal and mastering their care

I totally relate to that. I hope that you will find more rest in 2025!!

that's good to hear! I think most of us plant hobbyists need to practice that kind of intentionality 💕 that's how we can keep doing what we love!
