I got a plant from my father that he found years ago when we moved to a flat. It was in the corner of the bathroom on top of a shelf. It wash shriveled up and completely brown. That kind of fall leaf brown. Mind you, this plant was discovered easily 4 years after we moved in, so it had not gotten water for at least 4 years.

Crazy thing is, that plant was apparently still alive. We do not know how, but it did not die. Maybe it was feeding of the steam from the shower.

It is now part of our family and has had many cuttings made from it.

It's a crazy plant, it just does not die. I once overwatered it to the point that it's 15 liter pot was filled to the top of the dirt with water and only when I noticed a "puddle" did I act on it. We have one that is literally just in a jug with water. We also had one where the dirt was full of mold, but that plant was just fine.

I researched that little guy and apparently it's some kind of Syngonium.

I can't even grow plants on purpose, I managed to kill one of those mini cactuses that you're not supposed to water very often. I literally forgot about it and it dried out entirely into a husk. But the plants outside that I don't even care about? Those things are all growing like weeds and they're annoying

This bait is objectively hilarious in how BS it is.

I feel like weed does not really belong in either. You don't grow it to be masculine and you don't really grow it because you like to see it. A niche plant that everyone knows exactly why you're growing it.

This is some poor bull shit... when did growing anything make anyone fragile?... get outta here with your bs. Do you just go around trying to start shit?

Why would you make up something like that? Maybe its your own masculinity that is fragile?

If growing only cool plants is insecure then I want to be the most insecure man on earth. Except for weed, that's just ugly looking grass.

It's this Chinese anti-West propaganda? I wonder if it works on Chinese people since it clearly doesn't work here

I don't even understand this. I haven't heard anyone even in the alt-right say growing plants was gay

I grow whichever plants I want, which includes hot peppers, yes.

But also zucchini and rhubarb and strawberries and cherry tomatoes and...

I don't get to choose what to grow. All my plants usually die after a couple of years at most, so whatever happens not to die that's what I grow.

IDGI.

Most of the people (men) I know who like to grow fruit and vegetables start with apples and cherry tomatoes.

You avoid growing plants because it's emasculating.

I avoid growing plants because I'm awful at it and it's cruel.

We are not the same

If you have weed, hot peppers, and carnivorous plants, can I come over?

Normal plants are great too, but clearly you are a person of taste.

Wtf lol? This is completely made up

Who does this ? This looks like ragebait

Fellas, is it gay to participate in agrigulture?

Plant growing is gendered now?

All the cishet men I’ve known who have had gardens grew all kinds of stuff, from fruits and vegetables to culinary herbs and flowers.

Maybe I’m in a bubble but damn I feel sorry for the dudes in the OP.

I dunno i just doubt this person exists to any great extent. All plants are great.

Would that not be the plants they like? Everyone's all for gender affirmation until it's straight men seeking affirmation for theirs

Decorative plants are great, but harvesting something from your plants (especially if that product is otherwise hard to get / of poor quality / very expensive) is extremely rewarding!

Cacti and carnivorous plants are super cool tho??? Especially that you get cacti cuz of how resilient they are, a great first plant, can recommend. And growing your own food/spices as well? Also Ive never seen that stereotype lmao
