Not even a month after she was born, Harvey hit Houston.
We had our realtor come out and started making repairs. My husband and I started making plans to sell our home as soon as she was born. My daughter and her husband live in the next county over – about 30 minutes from where I live in Houston. My first grandchild was born on 7/31/17 and from the moment she arrived, I have wanted to live very close to her. Anonymous Above all I have realized that I need to bloom where I am planted. I was going through a hard time after a breakup…Īnd there were a lot of negative things going on in my life.I decided that if I wasn’t able to take care of myself, or didn’t want to, at the very least I could look after a plant, so I bought my first succulent and over the years I’ve grown more positive and happy to see my plants healthy. I was sitting at my desk and then realised why don’t I leaf propagate my Echeveria Perle Von Nurnberg! I got straight to it and am now getting results. I had no idea what to get anyone for Christmas… Now, every time I get depressed, I go to our garden, just look at my plants, relax and pray to God. I met a lot of cacti and succulent collectors too, and made a lot of friends. My lonely, crying nights changed to gardening moments. I searched about it and learned how succulents and cactus are different from other plants until it became a hobby. Not knowing anything about succulents, I planted it in the usual garden soil and I saw my Black Knight slowly dying. Then one night, I saw my succulents grow bigger, and it no longer fits the black sowing bag it was in. My family at the same time doesn’t understand me. I lost my passion of anything I used to love. After a few months, I was diagnosed with clinical depression. Because of that, I just neglected all the plants outside our house. I saw some vendors selling cheap succulents and cactus so I decided to buy some not thinking it would be a hobby or such.
I got my first succulent (a Black Knight) on the way home from a hiking trip. I’m ACE from the Philippines and here’s my story. Here is the second round of many to come, I hope!Ĭlick here for the submission form. I know how much they’ve helped me and reading your submissions has made me love these wonderful plants even more.
I posted a call for stories about how succulents and other plants have helped you, and the responses so far have been incredibly moving.
