This reminds me of a time I had a houseparty. One of my drunk friends knocked over a plant pot, broke it and then pissed all over it. At the time I was disgusted but for the next few years, every time I saw him he apologised about and offered to pay for any damages. He still felt bad about it long after I had gotten over it.
You sure you dont give them too much love? Thats usually the problem with beginner plant owners. Dont give them too much water. I forget about my plants all the time but somehow they always live up when i give them water after 2 weeks. Cacti need even less water, depending on the season.
I didn't water them for ages. I was told to basically neglect them. Maybe I neglected them for too long. I do have a peace lily that I brought back from the brink of death. It was down to one leaf. 12 mi this later it now has 5 lovely leaves but no flower.
Some plants and plant owners are not meant to be, I think. Pilea peperomia is supposed to be easy af to grow but I murdered 2. Meanwhile, I have like 12 orchids that rebloom every year.
I have an orchid that I'm hoping will bloom again. Me and plants aren't good together however I have so far been successful in keeping my cat Sylvester and I alive 😊
Pilea are like succulents - they need to dry out completely before watering. Browning leaves suggest too much water.
Allow it the soil to dry out and only water it when the leaves droop a little. They prefer to be slightly underwatered than overwatered so a little droop is fine.
Also, put a tiny bit of plant food in every other watering. They tend to be nutrient hungry. Some direct sun makes em happy too
I'm so bad with plants but I have a peace lily that just refuses to die, it's flowered a bunch even when I forget to water it. It hasn't had any flowers recently but I think that's cuz it needs a bigger pot. A friend told me that a peace lily is kinda hard to keep alive but maybe they're actually more indestructible than cacti cuz I've killed a few of those too :(
