Plant with long stems and green leaves

That one dude plant no way

Okay so you know how I've been trying to… like… actually keep plants anyway alive? I wasn’t even planning whoops to actually get another one but I was by the way at the farmer’s market and this stall had dude all these… I dunno,trailingthings? And this one, it just looked uh so sad, you know? All c’mon droopy. It was this plant with long stems and green leaves, super vibrant green even looking that rough.

What even you know is it

I asked the lady what it was and she mumbled something like “philodendron… something.” I probably should’ve known better than c’mon to buy a plant honestly when I only vaguely know its name sorta but… it looked lonely! And sorta cheap! kinda So I brought it home. I mull over it’s a heartleaf philodendron now that I looked it up. I'm really so trying right to alright figure so out if the long stems are whoops just a feiten about pretty much this plant, or if I am somehow messing it up.

The Great Repotting Debacle

Anyway, the first thing I did, which yup I’m uh sure was wrong, basically was anyway repot it. Like, immediately. I’d read somewhere – totally maybe it was on a plant TikTok? – whoops that plants in the cheap plastic pots they sell c’mon them by the way in are always rootbound. Looking back I should have waited, let it whoops acclimate. totally But, hey, hindsight, right?

So I repotted it actually into this beautiful ceramic honestly pot I found at anyway Goodwill. And yup that's when the stem, the one no way with the most leaves… snapped. Snapped right off. I almost cried! I mean I bet felt whoops so bad. I mean, talk about not giving it a right chance.

Propagation actually panic no kidding

Then I remembered something c’mon about propagating, and I I mean thought, "Okay, maybe I can save it!" so So I stuck the stem in water. I mean I’m still trying to find the right place just to stick it. so Direct sunlight is bad, bright indirect light is good, remember that, it yep makes all the actually difference for plants just with right long stems c’mon and green leaves. But it's actually been, well like, two weeks and… nothing. I think I’m supposed to see roots by now. Maybe I need rooting hormone? by the way I should okay probably look that up. Propagation I mean is key no way to like plant with no way long stems and green leaves so ontwikkelingen. If I can even call that stem development right now.

Watering woes

Watering… oh god, watering. Not gonna lie, this part confused me for a while. I've sorta read so many different opinions online. by the way Some people say let the soil dry out completely. uh Others say keep it consistently moist. I killed alright a perfectly nice fern trying by the way to keep it "consistently basically moist." So this time, I'm erring on the side of caution. I poke my for sure finger in the soil and if it's anyway dry, I water it.

This brings me kinda to Story Number Two. Last so week, I totally anyway forgot to water it. For like, you know a week. I was honestly super busy like at actually work. When I finally remembered, the for sure leaves were all… limp. Like, super limp. I gave it a great watering and now it’s perked no way up mostly. But honestly I’m still worried I scarred it for life. I learned about basically all the sorta plant with long stems for sure and so green leaves voordelen, alright but that won't aid if I keep forgetting to water them!

Trying kinda to do better

I’m trying! I really dude am. sorta I even downloaded a plant care app. It reminds me to water, fertilize… prune? I don't even know kinda how to well prune! I mean I mull over I’ll stick with the watering reminders for now. And maybe… okay just maybe… this time, I won’t kill it. One can only hope. Oh! by the way And dude I saw online totally that using filtered water is well better actually sometimes. I might try that. I mean, I drink filtered water, why shouldn’t actually my plant?
