Basically what the title says, ahaha. Decisions. Decisions. So much back and forth!

Let me explain.

A couple weeks ago I posted that I wanted to potentially turn off the grow light and have the cacti and my succulents in good ol’ regular sun, but I think in reality I just want to change things up and while the grow light is more expensive than I thought it would be to run, I can afford it. I like the thought of my bills being a bit lower moving forward if I turned the grow light off.

In addition, long term thoughts here, a few of the cacti on my wishlist aren’t going to fair well under the grow light and I’m going to get super attached to them and hate the thought of selling them that I’m slowly backing out of actually getting them in the first place.

It’s hilarious because I explained why I didn’t put them on my wish list for 2020 and it was this exact reason and this year I told myself not to think too long term and to just enjoy the plants, but dang I’m flip flopping hard on this!!

I received an email stating a cereus spiralis was back in stock and I only looked at it twice to debate about getting it and haven’t been back since……

Anyways, with that thought in mind, it made me think about my wish list plants. I bought my rainbow hedgehog cactus in 2020 and this year I bought my monkey tail cacti. After getting those two I feel satisfied with what I have for succulents and cacti that I decided to skip the rest on my wish list. I thought the original reason to skip was going to be the grow light being turned off but if I’m really honest with myself I’m just super happy with what I have currently. And I’m okay with waiting on the other plants a while longer. I think that’s a good thing!

So instead I bought 3 trailing plants. That’s right I bought 3 plants at once and then told myself no more plants anymore. I’m such a hypocrite about impulse buying but to be fair to myself (excuses, excuses) I kept to the quantity on my wish list the same but ordered different plants….see what I did there?

I only told my husband that these would be the last ones for the year and a few days later I received a text message from my mom with a picture of 2 money trees in a shopping cart saying one was for me, ahaha. So I have 4 new plants this week.

It’s interesting to see how the wish list changes based on satisfaction being met or circumstances changing. But now I’m anxious with the amount of plants I have but that’s for another post.
