Become a Better Plant Parent With Plant Awareness

Plant Awareness

If you asked us to name the one thing that we wished we had known at the beginning of our plant parenting journey, it would be this:

Take the time to get to know your plant and increase your PLANT AWARENESS

Yes – we know this sounds like we are a nagging mom.

But we can say, with a hand on our heart, that this one nugget of advice would have saved us many anxious days and, dare we say it, a fair few of our own plant babies 🕊🦢🤍🌿!

That is why we at the Garden Bench Top have integrated this all-important step as one of the three LAWs (Lighting Awareness Watering) of being a thriving plant parent.

In this guide, you will learn the following:

  • the exact information you need to know about your plant
  • where to find your plants information, and
  • how to apply this information to you and your new plant baby.

So go make yourself a cup of coffee, get comfortable, and let’s get our hands dirty!

STOP! Don’t GIVE IN to Your Impulses!

Okay – if you unintentionally fell into plant parenthood, for instance, you were gifted or inherited a plant from a cherished family member who recently passed, you can skip over to the next section.

This message is for all those plant parents who listen to that inner voice that whispers, “I MUST HAVE IT!” when they walk past a stunningly beautiful pot plant. C’mon, be honest with yourself…

We get it – we’ve all been there! Who hasn’t left their house for their weekly grocery shop, only to return with three leafy friends in tow? Definitely not us…🤣

However…

Next time, we implore you to stop and do just one thing.

Before you proceed to the register to pay, take out your smartphone and do a quick search online for the care instructions for your potential new plant baby.

This one action, which takes no longer than 5 minutes, might just save you future frustrations and heartache. Not only are you taking steps to become a better plant parent by increasing your plant awareness, but you may also discover that this stunning plant isn’t suitable for your parenting lifestyle.

So, resist those impulses and tell that inner voice…maybe next time 😉
