I love that you care so deeply about what happens to your plants!
A few years ago I was dumping our trash into our condo building’s interior trash room when I saw that someone had dumped a sickly plan to die. Not on my watch! I brought her upstairs to our place, where I nursed her back to health over 6 months.
I also had a different plant, a peace lily who I had named Fiona (I name everything.) Peace lilies don’t do well in the dry San Diego climate, so this poor girl slowly declined over 2 years.
When we moved from that condo, the buyer requested all of our plants, but wasn’t going to move in for another 2 weeks. I knew Fiona wouldn’t make it without love for that long, so I snuck her with me. We stayed in a hotel for 3 grueling months, where I barely kept her going.
Once we got into our new home, she wasn’t doing so well. I nursed her, I talked to her, I cleaned her leaves, I even took her outside for a little while each day for a little extra sunlight.
Then one day, with only the tiniest little patch of green left, she was gone. I cried like a baby.
Peace lilies are very touchy, I've found. They're almost as sensitive as a Ficus. Not too hot, not too cold. Not too much sun, not too shady. Not too dry, not to damp.
I'm glad you now live in a place where you are surrounded by beautiful plants!

So I get it. 🌱💚

What a great road trip!! ❤️
I loved finding stones, bookstores, and coffee shops with you. Top of the mitten to ya!
By the way I am one of those four-leaf clover finders. 🍀
