My Story

2024 is a year of awakening for me. It is a new chapter in my life, that I never would have expected. I am creeping up on 40 and I’ve felt a lot of change happening. Going out seems less desirable, life is becoming too expensive and bed time has become earlier and earlier. All of these changes in my life is what led me to planting. But, of course it all started with one plant.

I found myself in a situation with a rubber tree plant I had purchased a few years back. The rubber tree that was once thriving, started dying. Going into panic mode, I started researching every where I could. Instagram seemed like an easy place to search keywords. As soon as I started following my favorite plant bloggers, I learned as much as I could as fast as I could. Long story short I saved my rubber tree and started learning more about plants. As you all know, you start with one plant and as quick as a blink of an eye, there are 50 more plants in your home. With all my free time after work, I thought I may as well help other beginner planters like myself in the process. Here we are now, with my own blog to help my followers with learning more about plant care.

Calathea plants are incredibly beautiful to look at, but, may not be a beginner friendly plant. For tips and tricks on these beautiful beasts, check out my instagram account @beginnerplanting
