The thing about having plants in a house like ours is that they are often the last to receive attention as they don’t complain, cry or soil themselves. They can get thirsty and diseased too like us but they suffer in silence. If they die due to neglect, they do so peacefully and ever so quietly.

I planned to pot the rooted fiddle leaf fig stem cutting today. Just give it 15 minutes tops. Easy peasy. Then I saw the overgrown mint plants and decided to trim them back a little. Then I discovered many diseased leaves and started to prune them back severely. 
✂️The curry plant next to the mint caught my attention next. They got some fungal attack and so kena snip snip. Oh, the sunflower plants were diseased as well, okay trim! Then I noticed that the rock melon plant went against my wishes to put out more new fruits and killing its first born in the process! Argh. Keeping plants is some work! Salute the farmers, especially those of the olden days!
