We're all just nerve plants I guess.

I have a plant that does this. He’s the only plant ive kept alive longer than a month. Communication is key in all relationships

You rang?
sarahjane138
Haha!!!? you’re awesome.
dmjalund
"yes, but where?"

lanceyosh
So it would probably faint the moment someone gifts it to me.
Possboi
Oh it's me.
ThereAreChameleonsEverywhereProbably
I have one of these, but it's pink! Prettiest drama queen I've ever seen and I love her.
whatbuttondoipush
Get a spider plant. Put it on a shelf out of direct sunlight. Water it when the soil gets bone dry, about once a week. Almost impossible to
whatbuttondoipush
kill. I once forgot for 3 weeks, it was fine. My grandpa has had the same one since I was a teen
Khaliania
Bonus keep it happy and soon you will have hundreds of the fuckers
whatbuttondoipush
Keep them high up and they will vine out and bud. Great gifts for friends and family!
Khaliania
Until you have given dozens to everyone you know and they avoid all mention of plants or spiders lest another one be forced upon them

OhCookieUrSoFineUBlowMyMind
My favorite plant. Cant forget to take care of it
IHaveAGuyForEverything
I AM THE DRAMA!

IHaveAGuyForEverything
Yes indeed
Xalaqia
meanwhile Dandelion: CONCRETE! FUCK YEAH!
greatgooglymoo
I have one of these, and can confirm!
brokenchicken
Me too! She really is dramatic af, then perks right back up. I use it as an indicator that I need to water all of my thirstier plants
someoneturnoffmyphone
What are the downsides? I feel like there has to be sooomething or else they would be way more popular. Unless they already are?
SavSta
The downside is that they're needy and co-dependent.
Tahaufren
They're fairly popular, but they are bit harder to care for than like a devil's ivy or snake plant. they do well in terrariums (humidity)
ThereAreChameleonsEverywhereProbably
They're surprisingly rather easy. Require fairly frequent watering, but I haven't had any issues with mine and I'm new to houseplants.
theoracleofdreams
Mine was happy until I dropped it while watering. After that it never recovered
DONTPULLTHATFINGER
I just wanna be the dirt that gets watered occasionally.
MamaRosie
Mine is SO dramatic
puffcorn237
My spaths are like that too
Siptro
Finally. A plant that can tell you why you killed it
Muszkatela
more like it's saying "You are literally killing me!" "Why? What's wrong?!" "Idk, take a guess"
MeekrabJones
Not really. If any of the listed needs cause the same reaction, you still don't know why. It's more like it just gives you an early warning.
Targe0
It's like a crying baby. You know it needs something but have no clear clue as to what.
NoAsBigAsMediumJockButBiggerThanWeeJockJock
Bop it ? Twist it ? Shake it ?... I am not good with children....
schlockchurch
If the 1st doesn't work, just make your way down the list. Bop it twist it pull it! Then shake it. Shake it like it's a present on Xmas Eve.
Targe0
I know it's a joke, but I also feel it also needs to be stated, because internet. Do Not Shake Babies! This ends my Ted talk.
youlooklikehalfabuttpuppet
Peace lily are like this too. They can get big and beautiful and are easy for beginners. FYI for my neglectful plant people.
Fishkeeper
Toxic to cats, though.
youlooklikehalfabuttpuppet
Never knew that! My idiots must have never bothered or fucked around and found out without my knowledge.
Fishkeeper
I think it's in the bin of things that requires them to eat a lot before it'll seriously hurt them. There's a range of toxicities, from
Fishkeeper
"they'll vomit if they eat a lot" to "it's fine unless they eat a ton" to "seriously, keep it away from them, they'll die".
Fishkeeper
Lilies are in the "don't even put this in your house if you have cats" category: so toxic that, if they brush the flower, get some pollen on
Smokipoki
They reduce exposed surface area to minimize evaporation, burns, freezing. All plants do that. This one just a little more pronounced
TheArtistFormerlyKnownAsTheBabyAteMyDingo
As a Norwegian, fittonia, lol
CramSandwichandaNukaCola
How did this trait help it in nature?
Fishkeeper
It didn't. This is an accidental consequence of its specific structure, not a survival adaptation. Plant cells are like little balloons,
Fishkeeper
full of water. When they begin to get dehydrated, the balloons start to lose volume; think a half-deflated balloon animal.
Fishkeeper
Nerve plants are set up in a way that evidently magnifies that effect quite a bit. Most plants are pretty sick if wilted that badly, but not
Fishkeeper
these guys! They'll recover just fine from that nasty-looking wilt if given a nice drink.
ctriis87
The perfect plant requires 1 glass water per month and anywhere between 1 and all of the sunhine. Got any of those?
HeNeverSawMollyAgain
undateabledave
And it's non-toxic to cats!! I'm buying one tomorrow..
Lastcentura
My grandma had a moss/clover like plant like this when I was a kid
candar
lots of plants are like this. peppers and basil are both dramatic as hell
ThyWolfshark
My spearmint and catnip plants do this. Not enough water or too hot/cold they droop and recover in minutes after a fix.
Tmissfrizzle
I toss this in almost all my terrariums, it's so hardy if I goof in the beginning of my build it just takes over the terrarium
sheeeiit
I feel like all plants wilt
Fishkeeper
Yeah, but this one's super dramatic about it, and wilts before it's actually harmed.
midlifecrisisapproaching
Peace lilies are like this
LurkerWerewolf
Creeping Jenny too
orangebicx
A plant telling you something is wrong might make it easier to keep alive.
happiesthedgehog
As someone who grew up in trauma, this comment means more than you know.
CriticalCritic
It's like a baby crying, but not.
psmith00
I like it. sort of like the animal in Hitchhiker's Guide / Restaurant at Universe End (sic) that tells you it wants to be eaten.
The1Ballthrow
Well, it tells you something is wrong, but you still need to solve the puzzle and figure out what exactly. That’s with most of my plants.
Khaliania
My plants are all pretty vocal when they're not happy, and they perk up within an hour when you solve their issue
MarkySpaceMagnet
It reacts to several different things, so there is still some sleuthing needed.
ichbinhungry
I killed mine. Couldn’t get it humid enough for the little bitch.
Khaliania
Never start with humidity lovers, but daily spraying, take it with you for showers or a bowl of water under it usually keeps them happy
ichbinhungry
I have lots of other houseplants already, so I thought I could adopt this one. Maybe it had another issue, who knows. She was never happy.
Khaliania
Probably not actually IN the shower
Nuttburger
I mean most plants do you’ll just need to pay more attention
Bowchickameowmeoww
Was about to comment this. Wilting usually means needs water, discoloration-ph/nutrients, stretching/leggy-needs more light etc
cakeycakes
My mother in law tongue keeps turning yellow and I literally don't know why. I've had it direct sun, in-direct sun, watered more,
cakeycakes
Watered less... Still yellow. It goes limp. :(
Bowchickameowmeoww
Have you tried giving it some liquid fertilizer? Something with nitrogen.
etcnotect
I have a moon valley and its leaves keep turning brown and crunchy on the ends no matter what I seem to do to it
barnsandnobel
The wack thing about this is that it takes days for this to happen. Unless its sick its kinda super fuckin easy to keep a plant alive.
KellyCrazyCatLadyinTraining
Unless you have glaucoma and can’t see very well, AND have ADD and forget about the plant’s existence, like my Dad.
PlanckEraWasMyBestEra
I pay attention and struggle to keep plants alive. For some of us it doesn't come naturally even when we are trying.
