if you asked me what's my biggest flex...I'd probably say: of my 29 potted houseplants, ZERO of them were purchased. I am an opportunistic propagator.

you know about water and sunshine, yeah? you must. Notice how much water and how much sunshine makes your plant happy. Each one is a little different, but houseplants are pretty easy to understand, and control of their environment is entirely in your hands. So if there is a trick to it, it's observation.

and if it's ivy, just don't try it

I'm going to completely make up a number, I'll say def more than 50, less than 80, perhaps 69%

succulents give me the most trouble, but I'm sure it's because I don't put sand in their soil mix, or other things they like.
