Unfortunate News

[PlanterPalm]

Hey everyone, I know its been a long time since I have posted. I've been going through LOT. Thankfully life is getting better and I'm doing better. But I'm sadly here to say Ive lost plants. 2 died from spidermites I thought it was hardwater buildup on the leaves. 4 Died because my old roommates left the windows open all night. 1 died bc a dog was left unsupervised and ate it. The roommates even tore up my spindle palm. Breaking a front and severely bending the other so I cut them off. I have moved but that sucks bc I'm going from direct morning/ afternoon sun to NO direct lights at all. I do wanna continue my palm journey. Im gonna get a humidifier and some aluminum light fixtures with full spectrum bulbs and a fan for air circulation since its still too cold for windows to be open.

Shop lights work great for just green foliage. Easy peasy plug and play and pretty cheap. Sorry to hear about the palms. Roommates suck.

Yer I know that but you have killed the same amount as me in a short time and it’s taken me what 20 plus years. So at your rate and a bit of mathematical analysis you will have slaughtered a million more than me in 20 years time.🤣🌱🌴
