I made a post earlier about how hanging plants were hard but in general I meant my pothos. It always seems like I’m watering them and I know I’ve under fertilized them, but the new growth always comes out wonky and I don’t think I’ll have the global green and emerald pothos long term.

At least right now pothos and I don’t click and I don’t want to actually kill them. Later in life I might want to give the manjula pothos but that’s a ways out. I’m in no rush to get a pothos again ahaha.

So then I thought ugh, I don’t want to deal with the hassle of selling them but I also thought if I tried trading for a couple plants it might make the experience more fun.

I think I am going to ask for a scindapsus argyraeus and a peperomia hope, but I’d be open to other ideas or if somebody wanted to pay cash (if it was allowed in groups) to get them out of my house.

If it goes well I might see if trading would work with the cacti and a couple other plants I have but I don’t have a lot of plants I want to get, and most plants that I want won’t be an equal trade even if it was a cutting, so I’ll probably give them away.

I think it’ll be fun to trade and hopefully meet some wonderful plant people while doing it, ahaha. So I went to town googling for plant swaps in my area or social media pages – can’t be hard right to find groups outside of Facebook right?

Wrong.  Absolutely wrong.

If you don’t have a Facebook account good luck finding plant groups on any other social media apps. I ended up making a Facebook account, joining groups, only to have my account suspended by the automation algorithm within 24 hours.

If I was willing to ship plants there are more app selections but I’ve never shipped plants myself and don’t have the supplies.

I think I found an app that does well with trades locally so I’m gonna see if I can sell or trade some plants on there that were my impulse buys cause I’m over them. I realized I should sell or give them away when I literally stepped on a plant that was sitting on a shoe mat after I watered it, and broke a stalk and didn’t even feel bad about it. Didn’t even do the “oops I’m sorry” like I would with animal or person. Time to go sadly but I hope the next plant owner enjoys them more.
