this is way easier than people think for the most part, at least for certain types of houseplants/cacti/succulents that aren’t super hard to care for. They just need a little tender love and care (different pot and water)
People at my building are always getting rid of plants when they move out and they look dead, but they come back pretty quick. the vine in the pic I attached of my bookshelf was literally like a brown root that sprouted back to life when I got it a year ago.
You can also go to the bargain section of a lot of the big box stores like Lowe’s or Home Depot and get plants super cheat. Again, all you really gotta do is trim the dead stuff and water it.

There is nothing more exciting and fulfilling than caring for my plants. Visit the plant clearance aisle in lowes and nurse a plant back to health! Buy the plant from a vendor faire, grow it from seeds, it doesn't matter :)

House plants are more than decor. The life that they bring to a home is worth the upkeep. If you're out of town often, ask a neighbor/friend to take care of it. it takes a village most times and the love you put in comes back to you i promise. Even if it's something small, make sure you have a plant in your space.

I’ve already brought it inside per the advice of another friend because it was getting smoked by the New Orleans sun/heat combo
It’s currently sitting in water
I truly don’t know what to do I’m not a plant guy at all
house sitting for this guy which is even worse but it was already not looking awesome when I arrived (someone else was house sitting for a week before I showed up)
Anyway please help!!! Anything helps!!!

Sometimes you can just exist. you don’t (hopefully) need 50 hustles. You don’t need to be a writer and musician and artist and podcaster and influencer and girlboss or whatever. you don’t even need to signal how cool or smart or attractive you are. I know it’s hard cause I think our society incentives (forces?) people to be “on” all the time, but it’s probably better for your own sake to just exist for yourself and your love ones and to adjust your expectations of what a successful or meaningful life is.
Sorry for being pedantic, just know a lot of friends and family my age or younger that seem to be struggling right now in all sorts of ways. Just know, regardless of what anyone says or even what you say or do, that you guys have inherent dignity and you are worth something

Eat yogurt, kimchi/sauerkraut, miso, kefir, kombucha, pickles, certain soft cheeses cause they’re good for you
I never had a problem shitting I just like funky foods and pretending my gut is a nightclub where all the bacteria are dancing and having a good time like it’s osmosis jones or something
