J's Days with Plants

The WTF Am I Doing With My Life Story

So here's the thing: I used to have a "real job." You know, the kind with a 401(k), health insurance, and soul-crushing meetings about meetings.

Then one day, I looked at my sad desk plant (RIP, Gerald) and thought, "What if I just... sold plants instead?"

My family thinks I've lost it. My friends are concerned. My therapist is intrigued.

But here I am, living my best plant parent life in Miami, propagating Philodendrons at 2 AM and arguing with strangers on the internet about proper Monstera care.

Plot twist: I'm actually pretty good at this.

Every plant I sell comes with:

  • βœ… Actual care instructions (not the generic "water when dry" BS)
  • βœ… My personal phone number for plant emergencies
  • βœ… A guarantee that I've kept this exact species alive for at least 6 months
  • βœ… Unlimited plant therapy via Instagram DMs

Frequently Asked Questions

πŸ€” Will I kill this plant?

Maybe! But that's okayβ€”I've killed a few myself while learning. Each plant comes with care instructions that are actually helpful. Plus, I'm a DM away if you need plant therapy.

πŸ’Έ Why are some plants so expensive?

Rare plants take months or years to propagate. You're paying for the time, care, and expertise that went into growing these beauties.

πŸ“¦ How do you ship living plants?

Very carefully! Each plant is packed with bubble wrap, moisture retention, and heat packs in winter. They arrive looking great.

🌱 Can I request specific plants?

Yes! DM me on Instagram. If I have it, it's yours. If not, I can try to source it or propagate it for you.

Absolutely! Miami locals can skip shipping and pick up directly. DM me to arrange.

🎁 Can I buy this as a gift?

Yes! Plants make perfect gifts. I can include a gift note with your message.

Most aroids contain calcium oxalate crystals that are toxic to pets. Keep them out of reach of curious cats and dogs.

Curious Plant Facts

Educational and entertaining facts about your favorite houseplants

🎭

Aroids Are Drama Queens

Philodendrons, Monsteras, and Alocasias communicate through their leaves. Yellow leaves = overwatering. Brown tips = low humidity.

☠️

Your Plants Are Mildly Toxic

Most aroids contain calcium oxalate crystals. They won't kill you, but they'll make your mouth feel like it's on fire.

πŸ’š

Philodendrons Are "Tree Lovers"

The name comes from Greek: philo (love) + dendron (tree). In nature, they climb trees.

πŸ•³οΈ

Monstera Holes Are Genius

Those iconic fenestrations help the plant survive hurricanes by letting wind pass through.

🀒

Alocasias Smell Like Death

When they flower, some Alocasias smell like rotting meat to attract pollinating flies.

πŸ’§

Plants Cry (No, Really)

Guttation is when plants release water droplets from their leaves.

🧬

Variegation Is a Mutation

That stunning white/yellow variegation? It's a genetic defect preventing chlorophyll production.

🌞

Light Requirements Decoded

"Bright indirect light" = near a window but not in direct sun. "Low light" = your plant will survive but won't thrive.

🌱

Plants Grow Toward Light

Phototropism makes plants lean toward light sources. Rotate your plants regularly.

🏝️

Most Houseplants Are Tropical

Your Philodendrons and Monsteras are from rainforests. Miami is basically perfect for them.

πŸͺ΄

Overwatering Kills More Plants

Root rot from overwatering is the #1 plant killer. When in doubt, wait another day.

🌿

Plants Clean Air (Sort Of)

The NASA study everyone quotes? You'd need 10+ plants per square foot for meaningful air purification.
