When my child returned from her short trip she wasn’t blissful.
In fact, she called me crying because her house plants were almost dying.
I told her to try and save all the ones she could and get rid of the ones that were beyond saving. My child has a love and passion for plants. She’s always collected exotic plants, and she even turned her family room into a plant room when she was younger. The same happened after she got her first apartment, and she even sold some to friends and strangers. Well, this time she was a bit hurt by the situation she found when she got home. It seems the air conditioner in her house had failed while she was away. While plants do cherish humidity and a bit of warmth, this was too much. Her household is small, so it became more like a boiler for her plants. My child told me she’d left her air con running with the proper settings to keep her house plants blissful. She was going away for ten or so days and knew all would be well when she got back. However, she was in for a rude shock when she opened her door after arriving from the airport. A warm and nasty smell hit her, and this sent my child into a panic. It seems her air unit had failed while she was away and now her plants were suffering. I did my best to calm her down, and she managed to get the portable AC unit working. Then, she started checking her plants one by one to see which ones she could reuse. Unfortunately, she’d need to get rid of the more sensitive ones which were already rotting and done.
