#low maintenance plants

[grayve-mistake]

So… maybe kind of a weird question but does anyone know good plants to grow if you want to garden or keep houseplants but don't always have the energy/ability to keep on top of watering schedules and such?

I'm not gonna dump my whole life story and symptom list here but tldr I am a mentally ill individual who struggles often with having the energy to do things. I get depressive episodes that can last weeks or even months which often means that I'll take super good care of a plant and it'll do really well and then I suddenly stop watering it for weeks at a time because I'm using all my energy to do basic self care/necessities. Does anyone know a way to get around that??? Either tips on how to keep plants alive through periods of neglect, or plants that don't require much maintenance????? (If you're going to recommend any native plants, I live in east texas for reference) rn I'm just trying to salvage the plants I have, a very wilted succulent I forgot the name of, a very small zebra plant, and a parlor palm that has survived a shocking amount of things. I probably can't save all of them but I'm doing my best.

I am debating getting a corn snake

#we have one at the store I work at that is really pretty and extremely friendly she wrapped herself up around my hand yesterday #they're extremely low maintenance pets and technically a beginner reptile so I think it might be worth it #my coworkers are also offering to help me out like my manager was like 'oh I have a tank you can have' and my other coworker offered #up some of his plants

@your-not-invisible-to-me wanted to see the finished yard/yard of the dragon lair and I'm happy to show it off!

There are now ALL native plants planted which will grow in over the course of the next two years and fill the yard! There's also thyme planted in the pathway, which will grow to fill in between the painted bricks like grass (and it will be PINK!). Baby Nessie has a pond to swim in with Croki nearby, Baby Sue has a corner with tall grass, and Nigel the reading dragon is taking up his bench!

And here's a closeup of some of the bricks, all of which were painted by my mom - some from online designs and some just out of her own thoughts like the cat brick with all our cats! Over time, the plantings of thyme (har har) will fill in the dirt as groundcover, leaving a magical pathway of small pink flowers and colored bricks. 😊

#pasta life update #the yard is SO FUCKING COOL I AM SO HAPPY #the dudes had never helped make a yard like this before and they love it #full credit to my mom she's an artist and literally mapped out the yard based on colors and decorations #and the BRICKS were a perfect touch! #and now all the native plants will help the bees! #already saw some out gathering on the flowers! #and in 2 or 3 years this yard will become super low maintenance when the plants are established #gardening #yards #organic yards #down with grass

Oi. Was told by my pharmacy they had the COVID vax in stock, over phone. Got there and they didn't. That was annoying.

Oh well... I decided to get a coffee, a soap dish, and a lil pot of succulents while I was out and about.

Reading abt succulent care here too. Will go deal w/ exercise shortly.

#been kinda wanting to try taking care of a plant #knew succulents are p low maintenance... so we'll see how well i manage w/ these #plants/

hi al i like your new icon. hey btw what happened to your plants

so. Ok my old bio used to say “currently a mom to seven plants.” It’s said this for like. Four years. Bc my freshman year of college I took an interior plant and design class, and got a ton of houseplants from the class.

Flash forward to now. My sister, the person I asked to look over my plants when I went on a study abroad, among other things, has managed to kill all of them. So I am no longer a plant mom as all of my children are dead. However, I kept the bio bc idk what else to put. When I was changing my avatar (glad u like it!) I realized my bio was super outdated, but I didn’t know what else to put. I had begun to associate my blog with plants a little. But I don’t have any plants atm. Long story short, “the incident” is the funniest way I could think of saying “my sister forgot to water my plants for six months straight and they all died.”

#it’s kinda my fault. I prolly could have saved them. but I had zero energy it was hard enough to water myself #I’d like to start over when I get back home and begin to rebuild my plant collection. cuz if you get the right houseplants they can be #sooo low maintenance #al answers
