## Resource

Has an internet jerk ever told you to give up on houseplants because you clearly suck at the hobby? Well, after 30 years with my own plants and 12+ years in the industry, apparently it’s time for me to quit. Or it would be if I listened to advice from some rando. So here’s me telling you not to quit - even after you killed the third philo brandi and swear you’ll never try again. Even after your whole collection gets mites because of that impulse calathea. Even after you forget another plant on that high shelf. And yes, even if someone is mean to you. Your friendly neighborhood houseplant coach says that following your heart (to plants!) is the only choice 💚
