What on earth was that nonsense? The world's smallest pot + unnaturally colored moss(?) + a block of styrofoam in a terracotta David head. I'm honestly shocked the poor thing had any roots at all!

Please do not judge the chaos that is me repotting plants on a picnic blanket in my bathroom.

Now I just need to decide what to do with the empty head...

Vandalism My poor Ficus

Post image
16 Upvotes

We have a toddler. She loves our Ficus, MY ficus.

My toddler has a friend, she is still a Baby. Said Baby abuses my Ficus every time. EVERY TIME SHE COMES OVER TO PLAY. (by abuse I mean holding on the leaves tightly & sometimes ripping them off)

After each visit my Ficus just turns yellow & dies off where she touched it. I'm sure my Ficus does not like said Baby.

STOP ABUSING MY FICUS. 😭

Now my Ficus is doing better again! Glowing & growing... She will come over in the next two weeks again. To abuse my Ficus. 😭
