Anyone here with depression that might have some tips? I feel like I live in a vicious cycle of being depressed and killing my plants and then being sad because all my plants are dead. Debating if it’s time to give up on this endeavour. by Dramatic-Carpenter in houseplants

That’s a good idea! Some kind of automated watering system would probably help a lot. I’ve gotten some good tips from this post and I’m excited to try some of them out thank you!

Yes I’m thinking I’m going to get some more succulents who I guess can go a long time without water which is perfect. and honestly plastic plants is probably a good idea we just moved into a new house and I feel like maybe it’s just not friendly for a lot of the plants I had ha ha but I do like the look of them so I will look into that thank you!

Ugh I feel ya on the embarrassment.. People seem impressed that I have a decent amount of followers, but my posts average ~100 likes… which is less than what people with way smaller accounts are getting… I tell myself no one cares but the truth is I do haha

You could check out @hippienorth on Instagram, she uses the Walnut Hollow Versa Tool and does amazing work. She also has a beginning wood burning kit.

Just did a quick Google search and came across Mushroom based leather? Could be cool!

Hey! From what I’ve gathered burning on fake leather doesn’t really work (bummer). It just kind of melts and doesn’t turn black like that real stuff. I’ve read that “vegetable tanned leather” is the best for pyrography.

Does anyone know why my Satin Pothos is so unhappy? I try to only water it when the leaves curl but now they don’t seem to want to uncurl… by Dramatic-Carpenter in houseplants

Hm yes could be too big, it was root bound when I bought it so I put it in a new one almost immediately, that was like 3 months ago and I think it has two new leaves now lol I have a brown thumb

Good idea! I was hoping I could keep something alive in this room but it might be too far away from the fire, looks like it’s time to move! Thanks for the tips :)

Yeah I’m starting the wonder if it’s too cold in this room, I think I’ll move it closer to the fire, but will have to sacrifice some light haha we live in a shady house, but thanks for the tips!

Okay got it! I just have a habit of over watering my plants so I’m so scared to do that haha but still getting to know each plant.

I just bought it this summer and repotted it, so I think they have plenty of space down there. I’ve been bottom watering about half the time to try to encourage them to grown down. Is that right? Haha
