Hello friends of this beautiful and colorful community, a few days ago I became the proud mother of 5 beautiful plants, I have never been a person who has had plants at home and when my two children were born it was less thinkable to have them because I was afraid that my children would touch them and end up killing them and also that they take care and maintenance plus I thought I would not have enough time to devote myself to them.
A few weeks ago I have been passing in front of a boy with a table where he had some baby plants as my daughter says and I looked and followed, I never imagined buying anything but something stopped me yesterday and I started to look at them more carefully, to take them in my hands and examine them and something in me woke up like an instinct of protection and I said to myself because they are not small they will not take up so much space .
Silly of me to say this out loud, the boy looked at me and said you are taking a baby to your house, not a simple thing that you can leave in a corner and never look at again, that plant that you have in your hands was gestated and born as people are born, it is alive and if you take it with you, you are making a commitment to take care of it and protect it,
Well, it touched my fiber of protective mother and I did not think it was right the idea of leaving with one, but I took 5 succulents and captus with me, now I am like when my oldest daughter was born, being a first-time mom who is learning everything about the care of these little ones that I brought with me, where they will feel more comfortable, their water time, how to change the pot when they need more space, which takes more sun, in short that people who now tell me that having plants is just something easy to have, I will tell them that no, it takes responsibility and love.
I learned that they love to be talked to, pampered and sung to, that they will grow more beautiful the more love and care you give them, that they are like people,
there are places where we do not like to be that we do not feel comfortable and they are the same, there are places where they will grow prettier and stronger and that although succulents do not carry maybe so much energy or care also carry a lot of love, and here I am singing to my 5 adopted babies and finding out where they will feel prettier in the house so every help is good for this first time mom.
