Anyone who has cared for plants has experienced their fair share of failures. It’s part of the learning process, and knowing how to deal with such mishaps is what matters most.
Some people choose to laugh at their mistakes, which, according to registered clinical psychologist Dr. Cassidy Blair, is like turning on a release valve during moments of vulnerability about these imperfections.

Reminds me of my gardens. My cats loved laying in them, esp. after I'd turned the earth between the rows.
“When people have difficulty articulating their emotional needs, they will often put their energy into taking care of a loved object. So when people joke about buying their 47th pothos, they're telling the truth,” Dr. Blair told Bored Panda. “That joke is a way of hiding a fear of not looking after something that relies on you.”
Expressing emotions through memes has become a common practice in today's digital media landscape. Floral designer and Posy Laboratory founder Lisa Burford describes these images as a “form of botanical solidarity,” especially when lamenting failed growing ventures.
“We laugh because we're admitting we've all been there before. Botanical expertise is basically the refined result of many failed experiments. We grow through our experiences with our plants, and that includes the failures, too,” Burford said.
Burford says that plant care memes expressing failure transform internal shame into a shared human experience. It also provides communal validation, giving plant owners permission to be imperfect and the courage to keep trying.
“Because so many people are liking and sharing (these memes) at once, you aren't forgiven in private, but instead you're part of a huge group of people all admitting to the same mistake,” she explained.

Just moved from a house to an apartment. My family thought I was crazy for insisting that every single plant had to go with me. Never mind furniture or appliances EVERY SINGLE PLANT!

This is my sister. She makes enough money that she can buy. We gift her plants all the time because we know how crazy she gets in a nursery. But still has this habit of stealing cuttings

In addition to which, every couple of months Crowley would pick out a plant that was growing too slowly, or succumbing to leaf-wilt or browning, or just didn't look quite as good as the others, and he would carry it around to all the other plants. "Say goodbye to your friend," he'd say to them. "He just couldn't cut it. . . " Then he would leave the flat with the offending plant, and return an hour or so later with a large, empty flower pot, which he would leave somewhere conspicuously around the flat. The plants were the most luxurious, verdant, and beautiful in London. Also the most terrified.” Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch

My daughter (who doesn't want kids and I'm good with her decision) bought me a planter inscribed with 'Dear mum, instead of kids, can I interest you in a plant'

Maybe if I had such a room even I would be able to keep a plant alive. Maybe.

Just get a jade plant (crassula ovata) and in no time at all you'll have many more!

For a habitat garden this is a real problem. I can't remove native plants so get busy with the loppers to make room. Every native plant supports pollinators that make the garden heaven. More precious to me than money.

More plants! This was nice. I like all my plants a lot but sadly my life choices force me to let some plants go sometimes. I work in cambodia 3 months every year and somebody is taking care of my garden when i am not there so it is allways nice what a jungle evolved every time i come back. My plants at home i partly bring to my workplace where it hopefully makes the place a bit happier ( i work in a hospital) but some allways get stolen 😞. The plants a like the most go to my mother who is complaining that her house looks like a jungle but also refuses to give all of them back stating that they were hers in the first place. I think about 25 percent of the plants i buy, i buy for other people and even if i do not really mind i still did not find a solution for that
