…

yes, my prayer plant Thomas seems to have maybe a case of chlorosis and I have to buy a special iron fertilizer.

Buy a prayer plant, they said. It’s non-toxic to cats and easy to take care of, they said.

Never had this trouble with George the lady palm.

(I have no idea how to do plants that aren’t bamboo, palms, or pothos, the latter of which grew all over my last bathroom with zero effort, to the point that I started tacking the vines to the ceiling. They got tangled during the move and started to drop leaves, so I chopped them short and now they’re at it again. They haven’t been repotted in four years… ?)
