I haven't taken care of my plants in a long time. So here's my 1st rehabilitation! My goal is to rehabilitate one plant a day.

This is also my 1st speaking reel, and I had a lot of trouble creating it 😣 I couldn't get Instagram to create captions (I kept getting errors). My next reel might be text, no voice.

If you have feedback for me whether about repotting or reels, please let me know below!

I was able to keep the original audio for this one!
So I've posted reels of cutting flower stalks at 1x, 2x and 4x the speed. I think 4x is too fast. 1x is great if I'm efficient at cutting. 2x is great if I'm a bit slow 😅

Now he's done it to my string of watermelons. 😡 I grew it from a 2" plant, and I was going to replant it. Now I have to replant for different reasons. It's also been raining and storming a lot (uncommon), so it's all wet and messy.
