Houseplants: “man I really don’t vibe with this dirt”
*dies*
Wildplants: “what dirt?”I got a spider plant at a school fundraiser when I was in first grade. It lived until I moved out of my parents’ house at 18. My mom said she’d take care of it. She threw it out one day. I was sad.
Fuck i need to water my snake plant
I’ve had plenty of houseplants that are basically immortal.
The trick is to have a living soil. Without bacteria, mycelium, wild yeasts, and other microbes, you may as well be planting plants in moon dust.
Hydroponics what
I love Hydroponics specifically because it removes soil. And it turns out that a very large majority of pests basically need that soil to set up shop so when you get rid of soil you get rid of a lot of common pest problems.
Also be careful if you do it with tomatoes, turns out that being a plant made up 90% of water means that you absolutely love being in a giant bucket of water and grow fucking out of control
Jokes on you, I keep dandelions as houseplants
Wtf?
This is survivor bias in action.
It’s not dead. You can crawl around on a single live wire as much as you want with proper grounding when getting to it.
Slip, and your foot touches the other wire though? Yeah, you cooked or in for a drop.
