Why do you hurt me like this

[–] pianoplant@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Many houseplants you buy from the hardware store or similar have been terribly mistreated by the store and transport process so they'll show signs of stress within days of bringing them home usually.

New plant owners often assume they're doing something wrong, but you have to remember the plant just went through some major trauma so it's going to have issues for a little bit.

Just water and care for it as prescribed and it'll usually get better eventually.

Bonus tip: buy a plant from a locally nursery and it'll likely be healthy when you get it :)

Every plant I've bought from a non-plant store died despite my best efforts.

5/7 nursery plants I've bought are still going strong.

Also, when the plant eventually dies, you can print out the picture of its healthier days and put it in the plant's pot concealing the now brown dead husk.

Can you not call me and my family out like that?

You'd all be shocked at how many people buy a plant, kill it, and then go back to the store to try to get a refund.
